Mrs. Vernie Knight, 74, 107 South Fourteenth, died in her sleep yesterday morning at her home. She had been ill several months, but apparently was much improved.

Mrs. Knight was born July 22, 1886, at Fulton, Missouri. She was the former Vernie Andris.

She and Joseph Allen Knight were married March 7, 1908, at Fulton. They moved to Atchison from Leavenworth in 1944. Mr. Knight died a year ago yesterday.

Mrs. Knight worked as housekeeper for Father Valerian at the Sacred Heart rectory until she became ill. Mr. Knight worked at the Wilson Packing Company here until he retired.

She was a member of the church altar society and the Legion of Mary.
