Undated obituary in Sandy Creek News, John Spencer Knollin:
"On the evening of August 8, 1930, there passed from earth to Heaven the immortal spirit of John Spencer Knollin, born September 5, 1842, the only son of John and Elizabeth Knollin. He was educated in his home district school where the higher branches were then taught and finishing school at Cazenovia Seminary under president Andrew's administration.
After teaching two terms he chose farming for his vocation which he followed until failing health obliged him to give up the labor which he so dearly loved, then bravely, heroically he struggled with disease and intense suffering patiently, uncomplainingly he endured until the Master called 'Servant of God Well Done."
His strenuous toil and self sacrificing spirit combined with his strict adherence to duty gave evidence of the nobility of his Godly character, he lived a life hidden with Christ in God to know him was to love him, for him to die was gain for he is at home at last with the Saviour he loved and served so faithfully all through life, a product of earth's richest frutage and when the Heavenly garner came he was ready to enter into the rest prepared for those whose names are recorded in the Book of Life, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints, his life of love and devotion will be a constant benediction to those whose sympathy he greatly enjoyed, ever loyal to the church and its interests faithful in attendance from childhood until so disabled that it was no longer possible to be present, still he cherished in his heart what it had meant to him and loved to contribute toward its support, the Bible and its teachings were very dear to his heart and he loved to converse with those who had a saving experience and were conscious of the Everlasting Arms and their support, in the heart's paradise three dwells a memory so sweet, so precious of this saintly life that time can never eject, though earthly shadows may darken for a time the light of the sun if submissively we listen we may hear the Master's 'Well Done."
I cannot feel that thou art far,
Since near at need the angels are;
And when the sunset gates unbar,
Shall I not see thee waiting stand,
And, white against the evening star,
The welcome of thy beckoning hand?"
