Steadily failing health dating back over a period of several years culminated in the death, around the midnight hour Monday, of Mrs. Adelia A. Knox, widow of the late Harvey Knox.
The woman had been suffering for some time from a
complication of diseases which ordinarily would not have proved fatal, but owing to her advanced age Mrs. Knox was unable to withstand the attack and gave up after a courageous fight. Death ensued at the home of Fred H. Knox,
the only surviving member of a family of three.
Mrs. Knox's maiden name was Adelia A. White. She was a daughter of Thomas and Lucy White, natives of Genesee county, N.Y., and was born in Oakland county,
this state, August 8, 1835.
In the fall of her birth year deceased came to Ionia county with her parents, who settled on a farm near the river east of Collins. Her father came to Collins the year previous to select a location for his family. Mrs. Knox's early life was spent largely in the vicinity of what is now Collins.
From the time of her marriage to the late Harvey Knox on
September 24, 1861, until her death, however, she had resided for the most part in the village of Portland.
Mrs. Knox was a sister of the late Wm. White, who died in the fall of 1914. The late Mrs. Hugg, wife of a former well known Portland practitioner was also a sister. Mr. Knox died July 14, 1908.
Mrs. Knox united with the Methodist church in her youthful years and was a steadfast believer in its doctrines until the end. Until her health failed she took an active part in the work of the church and maintained a keen interest in the welfare of the society to the last. She was a woman of strong personality and universally respected.
The funeral services were conducted at the place of death at 2:00 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, Rev. C. E. Pollock, of the M. E. church officiating.
Interment took place beside the grave of the husband in Portland cemetery.
