On October 22, 1847, the emigrant ship "Ocean" docked in Philadelphia. Among the passengers were the Knoll family from Schielberg, Karlsruhe, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Father Francis, mother Francisca (married on April 29, 1833), brothers Gus, Englebert (my great, great, grandfather), Joseph and sisters Agnes and Theresa settled on Conarroe Street in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia with other German immigrants. Pictured is Gus Knoll (1838 - 1899). His brother, Joseph, was killed in a horrible accident in one of the woolen mills in the early morning hour of 8:30 AM on August 17th, 1864. His left leg got caught in one of the belts and his leg was torn out of the socket, instantly killing him at the tender age of 17.
