Edward Knollman's twin brother was born just after midnight on May 16, 1895, so the births of both boys were recorded on May 16.

After their marriage on August 6, 1919, Edward and Frances first lived at 227 Pearl Street, Reading, Ohio. They moved to 654 Jefferson Ave., Reading, Ohio, in September of 1922. In October of 1928 they built a new home which was numbered 654 due to the fact that the home on the north side of the house had the number of 656. The old house (the one they moved into in 1922) was renumbered 648. The old house numbered 648 was torn down around 1970 and another house built there around 1977.

Frances, a homemaker all her life, died on August 11, 1944 in Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio following an operation for the removal of gall stones. This was just 5 days after Edward and Frances' 25^th wedding anniversary. Doctors stated that the cause of death was paralysis of the liver following the operation.  This was during World War II, when Edward and Frances' three oldest sons (Tony, John, & Edward) were in the service.  

Edward's principal occupation during his lifetime was a machinist, working at several machine shops in Cincinnati, but retiring from the Baldwin Piano Company around 1960. He was found dead of a heart attack on March 19, 1974. It is believed he actually died on March 17 because he still had on the green bow tie in honor of Saint Patrick's Day he wore to Mass that day. Both his birth and his death, ironically, were recorded one day later than they actually happened.

Both Frances and Edward were buried in Saints. Peter & Paul Cemetery, Reading, Ohio.
