Knowles, formerly one of the leading agriculturists of Hardin county, now living retired in the village of Hubbard, has been a truly successful and honorable one, meriting the high esteem in which he is universally held. Mr. Knowles was born Nov. 22, 1846, at Rockwell, Canada, the son of John and Mary (Benedict) Knowles, the father a native of England and the mother of New York. A complete sketch of John Knowles and wife is to be found elsewhere in this work. Suffice it to say here that he went to Canada when a young man with his parents, William and Catherine (Clay) Knowles. The father of the subject spent his early life in Canada and married there, coming to Lee county, Iowa, about 1848, remaining there until 1861, in the spring of which year he came to Hardin county, Iowa, and secured one hundred and sixty acres of land in Providence and Pleasant townships where the village of Quebec stood. It was wild land, but he improved it and made a good farm and home and lived there until his death, his wife dying in 1908. He was a shoemaker by trade. He was a Republican and a member of the Friends church, and was well known and popular in this community. There were nine children in his family, six of whom are living, this county (see his sketch); J. B., of this review; William lives in North Dakota; John P. lives in Tipton township, this county; Diantha married George Fowler, of Pleasant township, Hardin county (see their sketch); Ida married S. Mills, of Ellis township, this county. J.B. Knowles received only a limited schooling, being compelled to work as a farm hand when a boy, and he started in life for himself at the age of 27 years. He spent his early life at home. On Aug. 1, 1875, he was married to Alma McIntire, of Hardin county, the daughter of Alpheus and Cordelia McIntire, natives of New York state and early settlers of Pleasant township, this county, where they secured a good farm. After his first marriage the subject farmed in Tipton township, Hardin county, a year. His first wife died and he was married on Nov. 12, 1904, to Mrs. Eliza McIntire, widow of Frank McIntire, who died in 1896. He was born in Linn county, Iowa, and he was a switchman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. Two children were born to Frank McIntire and wife: Sanford, who married Alberta Willis, is a switchman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and lives at Hawarden, South Dakota; Bernham, who married Victoria Nelson, is a switchman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, and lives at Hubbard, Iowa. The subject had no children by either wife. His second wife was a daughter of Frand Rundell, of Wisconsin, deceased. J.B. Knowles located in Tipton township about 1873, as before indicated, and he made his home a miles and a half north of Hubbard on a well kept and fertile eighty-acre farm, for a period of twenty-three years. On March 28, 1906, he moved to Hubbard, Iowa, where he has since resided, having here a very pleasant home. He is a member of the Friends church, while his wife belongs to the Baptist church.
