Mrs. Julius Belknap, one of our oldest citizens, passed away early Saturday morning, Dec. 27, 1930. Mrs. Belknap, who was Adoline C. Scott, daughter of Roxy and Robert Scott, was born in St. Clair, April 11, 1836, in the home now known as the Hotel Lindsay, which was built by her father some time previous to his marriage. Mrs. Belknap received her education at the O. C. Thompson Academy, St. Clair, and for some time was the only living pupil. She also studied two years at a young ladies' academy in New York and taught a few semesters. Later she was married to Julius Belknap who died twenty years ago and who was active in city affairs, holding offfices of alderman, mayor, supervisor, etc. and was prominent in Masonic circles. For many years he was a brick manufacturer at the yard known as the Belknap and Phillips Brickyard, St. Clair. Mrs. Belknap's grandfather, Philo Ferguson-Leach, was instrumental in forming the first Masonic lodge in St. Clair, holding the meetings in his own home; and her father was a charter member of the first Eastern Star lodge and eligible to membership in the D.A.R. and other societies. Her forebears were of Scotch-English peerage. Mrs. Belknap was exceptionally well informed on current topics and a thorough Bible student and in full possession of her mental faculties until the last, but was of retiring habit many years because of ever-increasing deafness. She was genial, patient, sweet and smiling and much loved. There were three daughters, Imogene, died in childhood, Maude and Marion, who made their home with their mother on Belle River road, this city. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Edna Phillips, St. Clair, and a niece, Mrs. Walz, Los Angeles, Calif., and others. The funeral services were held at the home at 2:00 p.m. Monday, under the auspices of Christian Science, Mr. Frank Hammond, Reader. A favorite song, "Only Tired," by C. A. White, was read. Oh gently, Lord, oh gently lead us, Thru this lonely vale of tears. Oh! God of Israel, oh how enraptured, Never doubting or forsaken, only tired. Light ‘round us breaketh, each soul awaketh, I'm not doubting or forsaken, only tired.
Card of Thanks – We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation of all the kindly expressions of sympathy; for flowers and automobiles; and to Mr. Friederichs and pall-bearers; to Mr. Hammond and all those who helped us in our bereavement. Miss Marion Belknap, Miss Maude Belknap, Mrs. Edna Phillips.
