THE STORY OF SOPHIA KNOP
Sophia (Sophie) Knop would travel from Southern Poland in the Mid-1880's and eventually settle in Omaha.
Sophia married John Szymanski on Valentine's Day in 1887 and together they had five children.
Although her husband John died in 1904, she would live well into the 1940's and is pictured above at her grandson's wedding.
Even though she stood less than five feet tall, she must have been a tower of strength for the entire family.
