Carrie Ellen Barker Knight
Dec. 17, 1904 - Oct. 23, 1998
 
NEW PLYMOUTH -- Carrie Ellen Barker Knight, 93, New Plymouth, died Oct. 23, 
1998, at an Ontario care center.  Services will be 10 a.m. Wednesday at 
Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, New Plymouth with Pastor Susan Howe 
officiating.  Burial will follow at Park View Cemetery, New Plymouth.
 
Carrie was born Dec. 17, 1904, the second child of George and Lora Barker at 
their home on Big Willow near New Plymouth.  Carrie attended the McFarlane 
School.  This necessitated a two mile horse back or buggy ride until her 
father built a school close to their home.  She attended school in Payette for 
a short time and graduated from New Plymouth High School in 1925.  After 
graduation, she raised turkeys on her father's ranch, rode horseback and 
herded them with the help of a dog.  She sold 187 birds one year, quite an 
accomplishment for a young lady.
 
Carrie met Ray Knight at a church party and they were married Aug. 28, 1928, 
by Ray's grandfather, the Rev. Henry Knight.  They settled on a farm near New 
Plymouth.  Carrie always had a very productive garden and loved flowers, 
especially dahlia's, which she enjoyed sharing.  She was a member of the 
Congregational Church, an important part of her life.  She taught Sunday 
school, played the piano and sang in the choir.  In 1990, she was awarded a 
certificate of recognition for contributions to the heritage of the New 
Plymouth area.
 
Survivors include her husband, Ray of New Plymouth; a daughter and son-in-law, 
Bessie and Bob Skinner of Boise; two grandchildren, Kathryn and Ross Oyen of 
Boise, and Jon and Shanin Skinner of New Plymouth, two stepgreat-
grandchildren, Julie and Jess Johnson, a nephew, Darrel Barker, and a niece, 
Darlene Curry.  She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Craten 
and Clifford Barker, and one sister Helen Wood.
 
Memorials may be made to the New Plymouth Congregational Church, in care of 
Shaffer-Jensen Memory Chapel, P.O. Box 730, Payette, ID 83661.
 
Friends may call from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Shaffer-Jensen Memory 
Chapel, New Plymouth.
