The William Knuth Family of Augusta Wisconsin

About

The Augusta Wisconsin Area Knuth's arrived in the Augusta Wisconsin Area in the late mid-19th Century (the 1800's)
The Knuth Family grew in the Bears Grass, Rodell Wisconsin and Dells Mill Area of Augusta Wisconsin, not far from Fall Creek Wisconsin.  Both the Dells and Rodell area were tiny communities of large families in the late 1890's and Early 1900's.  The time is also known as the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the 1800's and the 1900's

How do you pronounce Knuth?

Descendants with this sir name are not wide spread in America so the pronunciation for the family name is not widely known.  The preferred family pronunciation of  Knuth is 'ka-nooth' or 'ka-noot'.   The name is of Germanic / Scandinavian origin and a variation is Knutson (ka noot sun).  To pronounce Knuth as 'nooth' or 'noot' identifies you as a stranger; not of Northern Wisconsin origin.

The Father of William Knuth was Carl Knuth (aka Charles Knuth).  Please register on the contact page if you have questions or information about the Knuth family

The family home is located on Highway V between the Dells Mill Museum and Rodell Wisconsin
