The Christian Index   Thursday April 26, 1888 

Knox, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Knox , consort of John G. Knox, deceased, and daughter 
of David and Susan Glaze, was born Feburary 25, 1817, died on the night of 
March 30, 1888, being 71 years of age.  She was married to John G. Knox, in 
November of 1843; joined the Goshen Baptist church, August 20, 1841, baptized 
by Rev. William H. Stokes, former pastor of that church, moving her membership 
to the Lincolnton Baptist church in early life.  She was always anxious to 
attend worship on every occasion that presented itself, as she delighted to 
attend to her Christian duties.  She remained a consistent member of that 
church until her death.  She became afflicted with paralysis in 1873, and was 
a sufferer of that dread disease, confined to her bed for fifteen years.  She 
bore up under her affliction without a murmur, which only those who have put 
on Christ and claimed and acknowledged him to be their Redeemer and Saviour, 
could do.  This beloved mother was loved and honored by many, who showed their 
love and esteem by their repeated visitations and kind ministeries unto her 
wants and needs.  She leaves four children, one son and three daughters, who 
showed their great love and devotion for a mother by their indefatigable 
watchfulness by her bedside during her long illness.  A few days before her 
departure, warned by her increasing feebleness that the close of her life-work 
was near at hand, she called for children and grandchildren to come to her 
bedside, as she desired once more to see their lovely faces, that she might 
say a word of comfort and consolation, and that she might exort them, as she 
was soon to leave them, to live godly and righteous lives thereby to be 
enabled to meet her in the bright beyond.  Possessed of such an amiable and 
mother-loving dispostion, it was hard to give her up.  She was noted in her 
younger days as the "sweet singer," as she delighted to sing songs of praise 
to her Creator and Redeemer.  One of her favorite hymns was, 

"Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee whom angels praise--
Whose glories shine through endless days."
