Herbert Lowell Knott, son of Harriet Clarissa (née Starr) and the Reverend John Wilson Knott, was born in 1865 Mechanicsville, Cedar County, Iowa. In May 1879, he went to visit or live with his paternal grandparents near Mount Vernon in Shiloh Township, Jefferson County, Illinois. He died from an accidental poisoning on 12 September 1879 in grandparents' household.
There is no information regarding his burial. If he was buried in Jefferson County, he would have likely been buried in Shiloh Township's Old Union Cemetery, where his grandfather was buried in 1887. Probably not buried with parents and some siblings in Tipton, Iowa. At the Sand Hill Cemetery in Tipton, a stone memorializes his brothers who died in 1865 and 1887.
