LILLA MCKNIGHT Obituary Published In: The Vidette Date Published: November 30, 1950 Mrs. C. W. McKnight To have lived up to the best of one�s abilities, to have faced every difficulty with courage and understanding is the sum of one�s life and of few people could it more truthfully be said than Mrs. Lilla McKnight, who was buried here Saturday. Coming to Iuka as a young woman she was soon after married to Mr. C. W. McKnight, better known to older citizens as �Mr. Charlie.� To the two motherless young children she became a mother, and after her own children came there was little or no difference made in the loving care she bestowed on all. Still later there came into the family an orphaned niece, who became just another of the children, all receiving the same tender affection. Mrs. McKnight spent many years of her life in Iuka, later moving to California, where several of her children lived and where under different conditions she was most happy, but her aging husband still pined for Iuka and his boyhood friends, so to gratify him she returned to Iuka and cared for him most tenderly until his death several years later, after which she returned to California, only making one trip back. No long-faced Christian was she, facing the trials and sorrows of today with courage and cheer with no forebodings of tomorrow. For years untold she was the president of the Methodist Woman�s Missionary Society, where her work and influence touched every phase of life. In her ministrations she knew neither race nor color where there was need. Mrs. McKnight died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Palmer Peachy in Oakland, California. She has been the mother of seven children, five of whom are living and all except one attended the funeral. They are Mrs. Palmer Peachy, Mrs. Frank McCabe of Oakland, Mrs. I. W. Berryhill of El Paso, Wm. McKnight of Memphis; A. J. McKnight of Van Wert, Ohio and two step-children, Mrs. George Wight of Miami, Fla., and Charlie McKnight of California. She leaves on brother, A. J. Cotten of Tuscumbia, several nephews and nieces, among them Mrs. Lamont Garrard of California, whom she raised and thirteen grandchildren. Services were conducted by her pastor the Rev. C. O. Dixon of Oakland, assisted by the pastor of the Methodist Church, the Rev. W. V. Stokes. A large number of out of town relatives attended the funeral. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
