Harvey Knight Pioneer Stockman Passed Away
Harvey Knight, pioneer farmer and stockman, who had been ill for several months, passed away at the family home Monday, January 20. Mr. Knight was well and favorably known to all, as he had, in following his business of stock buying visited all parts of this territory and became acquainted with and had business dealings with many, all of whom esteem him highly, not only for his honor and integrity, but also for his friendly interest and concern for others. Harvey, as he was familiarly known, was a splendid citizen, father and friend.
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. Albert D. Hall. Interment was in Glasco Cemetery.
Harvey Knight
Harvey Knight was born near St. John, Putnam county, Missouri, May 3, 1860 and died at his home six miles northwest of Glasco, Cloud county, Kansas, January 20, 1930.
On May 25, 1883 he was married to Miss Amanda Winget, and to this union were born nine children, Henry, Jessie, Claude and Clyde, Ethel, Mattie, Otis, Edward and Ina. Two of these children are not living, Clyde, who was 23 years old when he died, and Ina, who was 2 years and 4 months old at the date of her death.
On September 20, 1883 Mr. and Mrs. Knight came to Delphos, Kansas, making the journey in a covered wagon. In March 1884 they bought an 80 acre farm six miles northwest of Glasco, and settled there. They have made this their home continuously since that time with the exception of two years spent in Glasco. While here he was actively engaged in buying and selling stock. In this capacity he became widely known for his good judgment and recognized for his honesty and square dealing.
By careful management and hard work they have built a substantial home and added to the original farm until it is now a large ranch well improved and stocked with fine cattle. For many years Mr. Knight was engaged in farming and in raising and buying stock, a work in which he took pride, and in which he was successful.
He was a good citizen and known and liked by a large number of persons with whom he associated. For the past 30 years he had been an honored member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 188 at Glasco. His influence in the home and in the community will live. He will be remembered for many kind and helpful deeds. His visits to the sick and his sympathy in times of sorrow have cheered many a one who suffered.
Several years ago he united with the M.E. Church in Glasco and gave constant evidence of a saving faith in his Lord. He expressed a beautiful Christian courtesy and devotion in religious matters and enjoyed prayer. The pastor of the church always found a warm welcome. He was a loyal supporter of the church and its work.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Amanda Knight, three daughters, Mrs. Jessie Slifer of Beloit; Mrs. Ethel Beck and Mrs. Mattie Dalrymple, of Glasco; and by four sons, Henry of Glasco, and Claude, Otis and Edward of the home, also by four grandchildren and other relatives.
For more than two years he has been an invalid. Throughout this long period of illness he was tenderly cared for by his faithful wife and children. Knowing that everything possible was being done for him, he was always patient and appreciative. In his home life, he was kind and thoughtful for his family.
He will be missed as a good husband, a kind father, and a good friend.
