Christmas Day will mark the eightieth birthday for one of Mount Kisco's popular citizens, Oliver Knapp Sr. of Moore Avenue, a civil engineer who is busy every day of the week, surveying a cli ent's property or figuring esti mates for some prospective job around the North County area. What his children had hoped to make a red letter day in his life, the occasion of fourscore years of living, will be postponed to an other year, as within the year, two great sorrows have come to Mr. Knapp and his family. His wife died on Nov. 6 and a brother, Gilbert Knapp, died on March 6, 1958. Mr. Knapp was born in Croton Falls, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alfred H. Knapp. Until his marriage in 1904 to the former Miss Alice Todd, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Todd of Lewisboro, Mr. Knapp lived in Cro ton Falls, coming to Mount Kisco shortly thereafter. Affiliated with the Mount Kisco Methodist Church the Knapps had four sons, Oliver A. Knapp Jr. of Mount Kisco, Ralph of Utica; Rich-j ard of Pleasantville and John of Bayside, L.I. Their only daughter! is Miss Eleanor Knapp, who lives with • her father and is secretary to the Board of Education of Bed ford Central Dist. Two. Became Engineer Mr. Knapp began his working life with Green Brothers in Croton Falls, worked for the New York Central Railroad in his early life, studying engineering in every spare moment he could find. He has served as a trustee of the Vil lage of Mount Kisco, was tax col lector and engineer for the Town of New Castle for many years and is a member of the Westchester County and New York State En gineering Associations. A former Past Master of Mount Kisco Lodge, F&AM, Mr. Knapp has served as Mount Kisco's Dis trict One \Mr. Republican\ for many years, loved and respected by all for his fine principles in the political arena and his refusal to assassinate any man's good name, regardless of his political affiliation. His courage in the face of two serious operations for faulty sight, has further endeared him to the people of Mount Kisco, and it is a matter of community happiness to find him once more able to work at his first love, engineering. He is a familiar figure on the streets of Mount Kisco, being able to call by name, three-quarters of the people he meets in his day's work. So while this wonderful milestone in the life of Mr. Knapp, is tinged with sorrow this year, the peo ple of the community salute a fine man, a shining example of cour age and good neighborhness, on his eightieth birthday.
