OBITUARY
Jane Knife
...As the sun was lighting up the eastern horizon on Wednesday morning, October 15, 1919, the venerable Jane Knife breathed her life peacefully away at the age of 80 years, 7 months and 20 days.
...She was the daughter of Enoch and Hannah Coppock Pearson, and one of the family of twelve children. Only two of his children are living, Enoch and Nathaniel, both of Indiana. She was born February 25, 1839. On February 8, 1855, she was united in marriage with David Knife, who passed away January 18, 1890. To them were given five children, four of whom are living, namely, Mrs. Elizabeth Shrader of Tippecanoe City; Mrs. Ella Vore, east of West Milton; Charlie Knife, who lived on the old homestead, and Mrs. Cora Cress, near Kessler. There are twenty-one grandchildren, thirty-six great grandchildren and one great grandchild.
...In their early married life Mr. and Mrs. Knife both united with the old Fidelity Christian Church near teir home. After the West Union Christian church was organized the deceased transferred her membership to this church and remained in its fellowship until the end came. For many years she was a faithful member of the Mite society of the church and was deeply interested in its work. When the 30th anniversary of the church was celebrated last June she sat upon the platform with the other members of the society during the services.
...There was a powerful influence for good the flowed from her quiet, modest life that was deeply felt by all who knew her. Her whole life stood for things noble and true. Her convictions of right and duty were strong and from them she could not be easily moved. Her kind, pleasing ways endeared her to those about her. She loved her home and lived for her loved ones, no sacrifice being too great for her to make in their behalf.
...For many years she was afflicted but she bore her sufferings so patiently that but few otside her immediate family knew that she was a constant sufferer. During the last year she failed gradually but steadily but she bore her affliction with the utmost patience and fortitude. Her children with their families tenderly cared for her and ministered to her needs. As she realized that the end was near she assured her loved ones that she was ready and was looking forward with great joy the hour when she should enter into her rest. In her departure a noble mother and sister has been taken from her loved ones, who in every walk of life exemplified the beauty and charm of consecrated womanhood. Of her it can be truly said, "She hath done what she could." She now leaves to her loved ones a noble heritage of good deeds and kind words as the fruits of an untiring life of devotion to the highest principlesof truth and righteousness that dominated her whole life.
...For 51 years and more she lived in the home where she breathed her last. What sacred associations cluster about the old family home with its enduring ties of love and friendship! How few now remain who were her associates in early life! Only one, indeed, of all that number still survives and he stands like a great oak alone in what was once a great forest.
...But in giving them adieu we are grateful to our Heavenly Father for having given us such lives of blessing and benediction.
...The funeral services were held from the West Union church last Friday afternoon and interment was in the cemetery there. Rev. O. P. Furnas was in charge of the funeral

...We desire to express our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends for their kindness and
sympathy in the illiness and death of our mother. The Family (The West Milton Record, October 22, 1919 Page 9)
