Many friends of the family of Col. M. W. McKnight, who lived here so long,
will read with regret of the death of his wife on the 25th of September,
in Chicago, Ill, at the home of her son-in-law, Rev. Dixon Williams, who
is well known throughout Texas. Col. McKnight, and son, Alex, with his wife
were in Chicago, and will accompany the remains to Lebanon, Tenn, for interment.
The deceased lady was a relative of Prof. W. E. McKnight, of this city. She
was a good Christian woman and battled with that dreadful disease, consumption,
for many years. She removed from this city, in June, 1892. To all whose hearts
have been bereft by the taking away of this esteemed former resident of
Waxahachie, we extend our profound sympathy, in their hours of affliction.
