Morrison who had been in bad health for a long time. Her death, which has been expected for some time, occurred at the home of her son, H.T. Morrison, her own home having been burned some weeks ago. "Granny" Morrison as she was familiarly known, will be greatly missed in this community for she was the angel of the sick room here. Her deeds of kindness to the sick and needy are many and will live after her. She was a devoted member of the Baptist church at Corinth. She was about 45 years of age. Her remains were buried in the cemetery at Corinth on Thursday (3 Oct 1907) evening, after impressive services were conducted by Revs. Clay Knight and Will Gaston. While this service was being conducted, Walter KNOPP, a brother-in-law to Mrs. Morrison, lay in a dying condition in the same house from which the remains of the deceased had been taken, and within six or eight hours he was dead. Mr. Knopp was 58 years old and was born and reared in this community. He was a highly respected citizen and industrious farmer and a devoted member of the Primitive Baptist church. He was a hale, stout man when he left his late home in Cullman County last Saturday morning, together with his wife, to visit her sister in her last hours, but he contracted pneumonia while on the train between Cullman and Heflin by raising a window of the coach and sitting in the blast while very warm. The remains were buried at the old family cemetery on the premises where he was born and raised. The burial services were conducted by Rev. W.G. Gaston late Friday (4 Oct 1907) evening at the grave. His wife's devotion to him while sick and her testimony of his life and character was something remarkable and should be a lesson to all who heard it. She was the most heartbroken woman I think I ever saw. She began her return to her fatherless children in Cullman county today. They perhaps will not know of their father's death before her arrival home. S.B. Gaston (Transcribed by Candace [Teal] Gravelle 26 Sept 2005 tealtree@comcast.net) Additional Comments: Valerie's Compiled notes for Walter F. Knop (Knopp) as of Oct 2005: Walter was the brother of my husband's 2X Great-grandfather, Franklin Marion Knopp. ~ vjf Cemetery records show his birth year as 1849, but the Randolph Co., AL 1850 Census gives age as 3, 1860 age 14 * 1870 Census--Oakfisher P.O., Randolph Co, AL; pg. 452, #1. * 1880 Census - District 258 of Mount High, Marshall Co., Al; pg. 261B Walter KNOP Self M Male W 31 AL Farmer SC GA Mary A.
