Charles was a foreman on the tramline over the Chilkoot Pass in 1899 and later joined the Nome gold rush in 1900. After his years in Alaska, he was a member of the Everett, Washington police force for eight years and a captain for ten years. He later worked as a grocer, retiring two years before his death on September 25, 1933 at the age of 71. His wife was Eva T. Knapp and they had two children, Earl Knapp and Hazel Knapp (later Ingebright).

Charles F. Knapp was the nephew of Lyman E. Knapp, 3rd Territorial Governor of Alaska from 1889-1893.
