NANCY C. KNIGHT
On May 5, 1903, the death angel, which is abroad in our land gathering up its jewels, visited the home of Mrs. Nancy C. Knight and claimed their dear mother, leaving great distress and sadness. Mrs. Knight was born in Georgia on November 5, 1849. She came to the County about 8 years ago. She leaves 14 children to mourn her loss. She goes to rest in paradise, there to be with her loving husband and two children who have passed over the river of death. Mrs. Knight has lived a consistent member of the Church for 19 years. During that time, she has been a power for good, ever answering "Lord, here am I, send me." She was one of the constituent members of Blanchard Church where she has fought the battle of The Lord until she heard that welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, come up higher and rest from thy labors." She leaves a vacancy in the Church which can never be filled.
As a neighbor none knew her save to love - one fulfilling the conditions of the Bible, a Good Samaritan she was, ever doing all she could for others with whom she came in contact. By her death, sadness has been brought to every home in this settlement, and as the sad news is flashed to the East and to the West, bearing the message to her friends and children in foreign lands, a cloud of sorrow seems to hover over the whole land. The nation, as it were, is draped in mourning.
Her remains were deposited in the Barnesville Cemetery on last Wednesday morning. Rev. R.W. Clark conducted the services. He rounded his remarks on the words of the great and noble man of God in Job; "Thou shalt call and I will answer thee", showing how Mrs. Knight had obeyed this call. Anyone who had the pleasure to visit her home found from her daily walk that she had obeyed and especially did she prove that The Lord was with her during her sickness of 62 days. May the Guardian Angel watch over the dear little children that are left without any father or mother to care for them.
