The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, October 17, 1919
Mr. William Knott, an early settler of this section, died at his home east of 
the village at three o’clock Wednesday morning of Brights disease; after 
several hours of unconsciousness he peacefully slept away into eternal rest.  
He was 82 years, 10 months and 8 day sold.  The funeral was held Friday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Radical united Brethren church, Rev. Isaac 
Mourer officiating assisted by Rev. H. L. Beadle; interment was in Lakeside 
cemetery.

William Knott was born in Chomok, Jefferson Co., New York.  He was married to 
Miss Adelia Houseman of the same section, Jan. 2, 1859.  There they lived for 
fourteen years, then coming west to Michigan, locating first in the southern 
part of Sunfield township just after the Civil War was closed.  Here they 
lived for eight years then moving to section 33 of Sebewa township making 
their home here for sixteen years, clearing up the land and made a home for 
themselves and family.  Thirty-one years ago they moved to Lake Odessa; first 
they resided in the village for some time then moved to the farm where Mrs. 
Knott died in 1906.

To this union were born eleven children, seven girls and four boys, ten of 
whom are living; the little daughter, Rosa, dieing in infancy.

Those who are left to mourn their loss are: Mrs. Ben Porter of Sunfield; Mrs. 
John Otto of Lake Odessa; Miss Ella Knott of Grand Rapids; Mr. Geo. Knott of 
Chippewa Lake; Mr. James Knott of Ionia; Mrs. Ben Garlinger of Lake Odessa; 
Miss Emma Knott of Grand Rapids; Mrs. Lewis Earle of Lake Odessa; Mr. Alonzo 
Knott of Grand Ledge, Mr. Harvey Knott at home, and three brothers and one 
sister; also fourteen grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

Mr. Knott chose Christ as his Savior early in life, who helped him to live a 
steadfast, Christian life until death.

Card of Thanks:

We wish to express our most sincere thanks to our relatives, friends and 
neighbors for the sympathy and kindness shown during the long illness and 
death of our father.

The Children.
