AMANDA EMELINE ELIZABETH SAVAGE KNIGHT

IN MEMORIAM - MRS. A. E. E. KNIGHT

   Whereas our Heavenly Father has removed from the earthly associations, and 
activities, the soul of sister A.E.E. Knight, who on the 11th day of March 
1908 died at the residence of her son-in-law, Jos. B. Crocker in the town of 
Franklin, Va., and whereas we feel that the influence and impress of her 
Christian character have been so marked, that it is due those who aspire to a 
high standard of spiritual life to recount some of the relationships which she 
so faithfully filled in her life of devotion and love to her Master, we are 
privileged to take some of the experiences from the history of her religious 
live.

   After her conversion at the age of 12 years she became a devoted and active 
member of Great Fork Baptist Church; and for thirty-five years she continued 
her active zeal in the furtherance of the extension of its Christian influence.

   She, afterwards, on the organization of Eureka Baptist Church, on a letter 
from Great Fork, became a member of that church, and excited a devotion and 
active zeal which today are felt and acknowledged as establishing and 
maintaining a high standard of Christian life throughout her entire church.

   Her last year were spent in loyal service to her Maker as a faithful member 
of Franklin Baptist church.  Till physically unable, she was a regular 
attendant, not only at the church service, but she took pleasure in her 
membership of the Sunday School.  She died a she had lived, full of confidence 
in the reward vouchsafed to her by Him, whom she had to faithfully served and 
trusted.

   Resolved that in the life of Sister Knight was exemplified, as worthy of 
the guide of those whose purpose in the attainment of a high and bright 
Christian character, the peace and contentment that reward such service.  And 
we see in her death only a release from all earthly ties and physical 
affliction to the enjoyment of a happy immortality with her Savior.

   Resolved that these resolutions he spread on the records of our church and 
a copy be forwarded to her family.
