CATHERINE TRUMILLER CARR KNIGHT

   Mrs. Catherine T. Knight, wife of the late Alexander Knight, born March 8, 
1848, died Monday morning December 31, in the home of her daughter Mrs. J.M. 
Bland. She was a native of Southampton and had spent her life in Boykins and 
the community. She was married on January 10, 1867, rearing a family of five 
children and was a most devoted mother and wife. Her health had been failing 
for several years, while during the last few months she had been practically 
helpless.

   Her going leaves to her family and friends a rich heritage in the memory of 
one so true, faithful and loving in all the relations of live. She was a member 
of the Boykins M.E. Church, and though it was not her privilege to be active 
therein, was ever loyal and faithful as the opportunity presented itself.

   Funeral services were held from the home of Mrs. Bland by her Pastor, Rev. 
W.G. Burch and the body was laid to rest in Beechwood Cemetery amid a profusion 
of beautiful flowers.

   She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. J.M. Bland; three sons, Hugh F., 
Rufus C. and Andrew L. Knight, all of Boykins, and one sister, Mrs. Pattie 
Hill, of Suffolk, and six grandchildren.

   The pallbearers were R.S. Bryant, W.F. McKinstry, B.F. Britt, S.J. Myrick, 
W.W. White, F.A. Hines, W.H. Britt and H.K. DeLoatche.
