KNEEBONE, JOSEPH T. Postmaster, Scales Mound, Ill., was born in the village where he now resides, July 22, 1862, the son of Josiah and Ann (Rowe) Kneebone, the former born in Cornwall, England, in 1834, and the latter, also a native of England, born Jan. 26, 1840. Josiah Kneebone came to this country in 1854, and after living for a time at Lupton, Jo Daviess County, Ill., in 1861, about the time of his marriage, settled in Scales Mound. There were seven children of this marriage, of whom five are now living, viz.: Joseph T., Philippa J., John F., Elsie A. and Carrie E. Two other children, Willima H. and Amelia, are deceased.
