Mrs. M. J. Knott who was Seventy-Two years of Age Passes Across the River On the morning of February 16th 1910 God in his infinite wisdom saw fit to remove from earth our beloved friend, Mrs. J. Knott. She leaves behind a son to mourn the loss of his mother, and four grandchildren tomourn her loss. She told her friend goodbye all that was there the night before she died on Wednesday morning about nine O’clock. One of them went to wash her face. She looked up at her and said this is the last time you will wash my face and hands. She was seventy-two years old. She has been member of Hester Church some fifty or more years. She will be missed at home and by her church. She was a good woman. She asked the Lord to take her home and he answered her prayers. She died an easy death. A crowd of surrounding relatives and friends gathered at her home to attend the services conducted by the Dr. R. H. Marsh. She was laid away in the family burying ground. Remember dear friends, God knows what is best. We know not what is best. Some day sometime we will understand better. Hear her gentle spirit wooing us to follow, angels rejoice when another enters into heaven.------A FRIEND---- -------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE All documents placed in the USGenWeb Archives remain the property of the contributors, who retain publication rights in accordance with US Copyright Laws and Regulations.
