Cashious and Estelle Knickerbocker

Cashious B. Knickerbocker was born February 27, 1862 in Appleton, WI. He was the oldest child of Lucien and Ellen Knickerbocker. He is living with his parents in 1880 in Appleton. He married Estelle Julia Robinson November 28, 1882 at the First Baptist Church Appleton, WI In 1900 he is in Kaukauna working I the paper mills as a foeman of the rag room and later listed just as a foreman in paper company. In the 1920’s he bought a farm on the (then) outskirts of Waupaca. It was 15 acres and he intended to do subsistence farming in his retirement, but he was apparently a very poor farmer. The home was later owned by his daughter Lottie Peterson and is now owned and occupied by her grandson Cashious died July 26, 1942 in Waupaca, but is buried in Appleton. Estelle Julia Robinson was born in Ordfordville, WI March 10, 1858. She was the eldest daughter of Andrew N and Charlotte Robinson. She moved with her family from Rock County to Appleton sometime before 1880. Cashious and Estelle had four daughters, Eva, Ida, Lottie and Mattie Estelle died December 11, 1935 in Waupaca, but is buried in Appleton Eva and Ida both married men by the name of John Johnson, and both in the lumber business, John E. in Marshfield, WI and John P. in Marinette, WI One of the many fiends Cashious and Estelle made in Waupaca was the local town doctor, Sam Salan. Dr. Sam purchased a practice in Waupaca. He was a bit hesitant being Jewish in such a Midwestern town. Apparently Cashious had some complaint and went to see the new “doc” and when Dr. Sam asked him if he objected to a man of his faith treating him, Cashious relied “only if you’re going to charge more.” Eventually Estelle and Cashious invited the Salan’s for dinner and a fast and long lasting friendship ensued. In fact their daughter Lottie, in her 80’s slipped on the hill while mowing the lawn and her foot when under the power mower grazing the foot. Dr. Sam, still practicing, confronted her and told her that such tasks shouldn’t undertaken, whereby Lottie asked him if he was going to come over and do the mowing. Estelle, according to her granddaughter “Stella” Davis loved to tell stories of the family and told Stella that they were related to the doctor who came on the Mayflower, which later investigation bore out.
