P. L. Knappen

P. L. Knappen was a Fort William resident active in the town's civic affairs in the late 1870s.

In 1879 Knappen served on a committee — with C. N. Black and G. A. Graham — organized to establish a newspaper at Fort William, which corresponded with the Toronto firm of Gwatkin & Son to obtain a printing press, and he sat on the committee that circulated a petition in support of the venture.
