Knight was a Civil War Vet, served in Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment Iowa The McGregor News 11/14/1894 Obituary This community has seldom been so deeply moved, as by the death of Ralph L. Knight at his home in Farmersburg on Monday evening Nov. 4th, 94. He had never been in robust health after he came out of the army, in 1865, and for the last few years, a general decline of strength and health has been evident in his appearance. During the last year he had ceased to be a familiar figure in the business places of McGregor. The hardships of the service have been telling on his physical strength for many years, and at last it wasted away. He was well known to most of the people in Clayton County and was a universal favorite, but his cheerfulness at last yielded to the inevitable. In common with all his acquaintances, we mourn his death as the loss of a good citizen, a faithful friend and a patriot. Honest and upright in all his dealings, he had the confidence of all with whom he came in contact. His natural musical talent made him a prominent figure in all social gatherings, and his army comrades testify that it cheered many a dreary camp and bivouac. His son Dr. H. L. Knight of Leroy, Minn., a physician of great learning, was with him much of the time during the last year or two, so that with local medical aid, everything possible was done to prolong his life and make his last days comfortable. He leaves a wife and a second son, E. L. Knight, residing at home. The funeral on Nov. 6th, was unusually large. He was buried under the auspices of the McGregor, Elkader and Monona Posts, G.A.R. The sermon of the Rev. J.J. Littler at the church was simple, appropriate and eloquent, and the remarks of Dr. Clark were unusually touching and suitable. Notwithstanding the discomfort of the day, the ceremonies were orderly and appropriate. No man was ever laid away in the grave with more sincere grief, than he, real heart felt grief, and sense of loss were seen on every face. Gallant soldier, good citizen, kind and loving husband and father, loyal friend, hail and farewell!!
