Knight was born February 17, 1832, and died at her home near Mt. Sylvan, Texas, February 12, 1900, being sixty-seven years, eleven months and twenty-five days old. Of all these years we are delighted to be able to state that she spent at least fifty-five of them as a faithful worker as a member of the M. E. Church, South. She certainly had that "good name that is rather to be chosen than great riches," and we are assured that her record on high is all that could be desired. No doubt the Master greeted her, saying: "May, you have done what you could for me and my cause." she has left a great many friends and relatives that shall miss her on earth, but they all know where to find her in the sweet by and by. May they all follow her as she followed Christ, is the prayer of her pastor. W. W. GRAHAM. Lindale, Texas.
