Deaths. MRS. WM. MCKNIGHT. Mrs. Wm. McKnight died at her home in Sioux City on Thursday April 4th. She was twenty-eight years of age. Mrs. McKnight had been ailing for five years with tuberculosis and dropsy and was a patient sufferer. Her friends and family mourn deeply the loss of this young woman, whose presence was always a cheerful help to the devoted husband whom she leaves to mourn.
Miss Lucile Ellsworth was born in Plymouth county on the eighth of October 1884. She spent the years of her girlhood and young womanhood here, and married Wm. McKnight on August sixth, 1904. The young couple moved to Le Mars, where they lived but a year. Then they spent a year in Sioux city after which they went to Yankton, South Dakota. For four and one-half years they lived at Yankton, then returned to Sioux City, where they lived until the time of Mrs. McKnight's death. For the greater portion of the last five years her life was one continuous struggle for health which proved to her to be a losing battle. She leaves a husband, two brothers, three sisters and her mother, her father having gone to his rest before her. Mr. McKnight is with the Blue Valley Creamery Co, in Sioux City.
The funeral services were conducted in St. Paul's church in Remsen at 10 o'clock last Saturday morning, by Rev. Geo. O'Kidder of Sioux City, and the burial took place at the Remsen cemetery. – Remsen Bell-Enterprise, Thursday, April 11, 1912, page 1, column 3
