    3. (Handwritten at the top of the clipping - Feb 20 1930.) Death of Mrs. John McKnight. The death occurred yesterday afternoon at her home in King street of Mrs. John McKnight after a short illness at the age of 70 years. Deceased was the widow of John McKnight, who for many years conducted a grocery business in Fredericton and sat at the Council Board for some years. A week ago she was stricken with paralysis and from the first it was seen she could not recover and her death yesterday afternoon was not unexpected. Although of a retiring disposition she made many friends, her kindly habits endearing her not only to the members of her immediate family but all with whom she was associated. She was a lover of her home and her death will be learned of with sincere regret. She is survived by two sons, ex-Ald. Ivan McKnight, of this city, who succeeded his father in business, and Milton D. McKnight, of Montreal. A son, Locksley McKnight made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War, and a daughter, Mrs. Douglas Conrod, died about seven years ago. There are four grandchildren, three brothers and four sisters, C. Herbert Kilpatrick, Basil M. Kilpatrick and Fred W. Kilpatrick, of Florenceville; Mrs. Harvey Kinney, of Centreville; Mrs. C. Charles Connell, Woodstock; Mrs. George Tweedle and Mrs. Andrew Kinney, Florenceville. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon with service at the house at 2.15 o'clock by Rev. George Telford and interment at Rural Cemetery. (Handwritten at the top of the clipping - Dec. 18, 1930) Mrs. Sarah Edgar Dead.
