BORN IN CALIFORNIA Former Postmaster Of Hagerstown And Member Of State Board Of Agriculture For Twenty Years. ---------- Knode Porter, age 65, died Wednesday evening at the home of his son-in-law, H. F. Burk, 306 North Eleventh street. He had been in poor health for some time and his death was not unexpected. Knode Porter was one of the best known men in eastern Indiana and enjoyed a wide acquaintance all over the state. He was born in California, March 2, 1853, but the family soon after returned to Hagerstown, where Mr. Porter lived until five years ago, when he came to Newcastle to engage in business with the Burk Construction company. He was engaged in the dry goods and clothing business in Hagerstown for thirty years, postmaster of Hagerstown nine years and a member of the state board of agriculture for twenty years. For many years he was secretary of the Hagerstown Fair association. He was married forty-three years ago to Miss Sabina Clements, who survived him. One daughter, Mrs. Frank Burk, his mother, Mrs. Katherine Porter, and two brothers, Ed and Will, of Hagerstown, also survive. Interesting Reminiscence. An interesting reminiscence is recalled by the death of Mr. Porter. In 1849 William Porter and Arch Knode, two Wayne county young men, went to California to seek their fortunes in the gold fields. Fast friends always, their friendship and love each for the other was ripened and deepened by the hardship of the miner's life and so it came about that later when both had married and each home had been blessed with a son, the regard was perpetuated in the names given each and William Porter's son was named Knode Porter and Arch Knode's son named Porter Knode, now a wellknown citizen of Indianapolis and a long time friend of Knode Porter. The funeral will occur at the home of Ed Porter in Hagerstown Sunday at 3 o'clock p.m. The remains will be taken to Hagerstown Saturday, leaving the residence at 10 o'clock. Friends desiring to view the remains may do so at any time Friday afternoon or evening at the residence of H. F. Burk, 306 North Eleventh street. Find A Grave contributor Angels A-Far
