MRS. H. F. KNIGHT CALLED

Death Ends Months of Suffering For Wife of New Plymouth Minister

After an illness of exactly four months to the day, death brought an end to 
the sufferings of Mrs. H. F. Knight, beloved wife of Rev. H. F. Knight, the 
grand old man of Payette Valley. The end came peacefully at 4 o'clock on 
Saturday morning at the family home in New Plymouth, in the presence of the 
immediate members of the family. In the passing of Mrs. Knight, the valley 
loses another of those fine Christian characters which have been a blessing to 
our communities.

Nettie E. Fenno was born on August 13, 1850, near Chicago, Illinois. The 
family moved to Wisconsin when she was but a year old, settling at Appleton. 
This remained her home until she grew to young womanhood. When fifteen years 
of age, she united with the Methodist church, and was a devoted member of that 
church during the remainder of her life. In the course of time she met, and 
was wooed by Henry F. Knight, itinerant Methodist minister, to whom she was 
united in marriage on November 20, 1869. To this union were born nine 
children, seven of whom survive her. They are as follows: E. B. Knight, of 
Payette; Rev. C. M. Knight, of Emmett; Rev. L. G. Knight, of Boise; E. G. 
Knight, of Clear Lake, South Dakota; Mrs. J. H. Burckhalter, of Clifton, 
Colorado; Judge W. W. Knight, of Brookings, South Dakota; and C. R. Knight, of 
New Plymouth.

Rev. H. F. Knight's calling as an itinerant minister of the Methodist church, 
carried the family to many towns in Wisconsin, South Dakota and Colorado. In 
1911, the family moved to New Plymouth, Idaho, where they have remained ever 
since. Mrs. Knight was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps of the W. T. 
Sherman Post and the G. A. R. of Payette.

Funeral services were held at 10:30 o'clock on Monday morning in the 
Congregational church at New Plymouth, in the presence of a host of friends, 
neighbors and relatives, that taxed the church to the utmost limit of its 
capacity. The services were conducted by Rev. Clayton Judy, of the 
Congregational church and Rev. Henry Jacobs, of the Baptist church of New 
Plymouth. Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. Clyde Mackinson and a mixed 
quartette from the Congregational church. The floral offerings were profuse 
and most beautiful. Interment was in Park View cemetery in New Plymouth.
