Lineville Headlight
God in His infinite wisdom called from us our much beloved and affectionate 
brother, G. W. Knight on Dec. 31, 1925. He was born July 14, 1882, aged 43 
years, 5 months and 17 days, He joined the Masonic fraternity with the Barfield 
Lodge 784 in 1920. He was initiated Jan. 2, passed March 3, and raised April 
5th. of that year. 
He was a member of the M.E. Church. 
We feel that we have sustained a great loss in the lodge, in the home, and in 
the community. 
He numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He was a loving companion, father 
and neighbor, always wearing a smile meeting his neighbors in that spirit and 
sunshine that made them happy and glad to see him. He is so greatly missed, that 
a cloud of gloom has gathered over the home and community. His body was laid to 
rest in Pleasant Hill cemetery New Years Day by the brethren of the Masonic 
fraternity. He leaves a wife and eight children, four boys and four girls 
besides the many friends to mourn his absence. From us a brother has gone to 
join in that Lodge above where the Great Grand Master with his loving hand dries 
all tears away but let us bow in submission to Him that doeth all things well 
and is able to lead us to that perfect day. then we can join him in that lodge 
eternal. 
There is a home in the skies Where the merry will rest, A glorious home in the 
land of the blest. No tears will be wiped from the sorrowful eye and the broken 
heart will forget to sigh. No pestilence rides on the wings of the air. No waves 
of affliction or sorrow is there. In darkness that reign shall never be furled. 
For the smile of the Lord is the light of that world. 
Resolved that we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and that a 
copy of these resolutions be spread upon the secretary's book and that a copy be 
furnished the family. We beg pardon for delay of this resolution, there being so 
much sickness. Rev. B. R. Layton, F. Hudson, I C. E. Hogan, Committee
