The Cairo Messenger, March 22, 1929
Mr. C. A. Knight Dies Following An Illness

Mr. Charles A. Knight, A. C. L. section foreman at Pine Park, one of the 
county's most genial citizens, passed away at a local hospital early last 
Sunday afternoon following an illness of slightly more than two weeks.  General 
septic anemia, resulting from an absessed tooth, caused his death.  He was 46 
years of age. 

By his jovial disposition and friendliness, he made hundreds of friends and his 
passing brought grief to many hearts.  He was always loyal and devoted to his 
family and their grief has been especially great.

Funeral and interment were at the Bold Springs Methodist Church, seven miles 
east of Cairo, on Monday afternoon.  The church was filled to overflowing with 
friends who gathered for the last rites, attesting the esteem in which the 
deceased was held.  The funeral services were in charge of Rev. Charlie 
Jackson, pastor of the Cairo Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. A. T. Hart, 
pastor of the Barnett's Creek Baptist Church, and Rev. C. F. Barton, pastor of 
the Cairo Methodist Circuit.  The burial service was in charge of the Cairo 
Lodge No. 299, Free and Accepted Masons, of which the deceased was a loyal 
member.

Surviving are his widow; two daughters, Mrs. Harvey Clay and Miss Fannie 
Knight, of Pine Park; three brothers, G. W. Knight of Cairo, Alex Knight of 
Fowlstown, and Henry Knight of Blakely; and three sisters, Mrs. Will Hicks of 
Ochlocknee, Mrs. L. J. Chambliss, of Hilton and Mrs. T. M. Red of Pine Park.
