Mrs. James KNIGHT died Wednesday morning at her home in Granville at the ripe

years of age she became the wife of Mordecaai CONAWAY and for a time made her
home in Greene county [sic] and later in Connellsville [Pa]. Forty years
ago this month she became the wife of James KNIGHT. Since then, with the
exception of five years her home has been in Granville.
When but 12 years of age she became a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church in Soal [sic= Coal] Centre [now Coal Center, Pa]. This was soon
after the church was organized and she has always been interested in the work of
the church. Till the end came her mind was clear and she could be back and tell
of things that happened years ago as though it were but yesterday.
The funeral will take place at 1 o'clock on Friday and the Interment will be
in the Howe's cemetery.
In the death of Mrs. KNIGHT the Presbyterian church [sic] of Coal Centre
loses its oldest member and one who has always enjoyed the confidence of all who
knew her.
