Gallagher, in Toledo, Iowa, on April 13, 1926, Jacob Knight, aged 86 years, 11 months, 3 days. The deceased was the son of John W. and Mary Knight, and was born at Jackson Center, Ohio. In October, 1858, he arrived in Tama County, Iowa, having made the journey with horses and wagon, in company with a number of friends, all of whom settled in Carlton township, near where the town of Garwin now stands. Here the remainder of his life was spent. On December 31, 1862, he was united in marriage with Miss Nancy Ketchum, who died December 27, 1904. To this union five children were born of which number Cora died at the age of six years, and Elsie, October 14, 1924. Those still living are Nelson P. of Toledo, Iowa; Mrs. Alda Van Horn of Garwin; and Mrs. Alice Gallagher of Toledo. When the Carlton Seventh Day Baptist Church was organized, 1862, the deceased became a constituent member and, so far as is known, he was the last survivor of that band. He thoroughly enjoyed pioneer life and was identified with the development of Tama County from its crude state up to its present flourishing condition. September 24, 1922, he sustained a paralytic shock, by which he was rendered an invalid during the remainder of his life. The deceased was a member of a family of six sons and two daughters, of which number James M. Knight of Gentry, Ark., is the only one now living. He leaves to mourn his departure a brother, a son, two daughters, eleven grandchildren, twenty-one great-grandchildren, and a wide circle of relatives and friends. Brief farewell services were conducted at the home of his daughter where he died, and the funeral sermon preached on April 17 by Rev. E. H. Socwell. These services were attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances, besides the immediate relatives. The writer has been intimately connected with the family of which the deceased was a member as follows: He conducted the funeral of his mother, officiated at the marriage of one of his daughters, and later conducted her funeral, conducted the funeral of a brother, also the funeral of a daughter-in-law, and now that of the deceased.
