This day in history

Susanville’s Knoch Building.

As the  old saying goes on family businesses, the first generation makes it, the second generation uses it and the third loses it. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the fourth generation wants to do something entirely different. Such was the case with the Knoch family. David Knoch’s two great-grandchildren, Janis and J.D. Worley had no intentions to remain in Susanville. So on November 6, 1956, their mother, Jeanette Worley sold the Knoch Building that had been in her family for three generations to  Tony and Hersoule Legatos for $69,500.
