Steuben-Republican 25 February 1920 (picture)

        Rosemond Hulwick Knight, daughter of John and Augusta Hulwick 
was born in Caraway County, Illinois January 27, 1847 and departed this 
life February 12, 1920, age 73 years and 15 days.  Deceased came with 
her parents from Illinois to Otsego township, Steuben County, when very 
young and has ever since been a resident of this county, and for a 
number of years has lived in Pleasant Lake.  She was united in marriage 
first to Alfred Bender of Otsego township in 1864.  To this union one 
daughter Emma Bender Harpham was born, who departed this life 25 years 
ago.  She was next married to Austin Knight, no children were born to 
this union, but they adopted Frankie Miller who has been a dutiful son 
in old age especially ministering to their every need.  On January 8, 
1920, Mr. Knight departed this life.  The aged companion bereft of her 
husband, felt keenly her loss, and did not cease to mourn for him,  and 
not being very strong in body, the shock of his going was too much for 
her and in just six weeks from the death of Mr. Knight she followed him 
in death.  Mrs. Knight was always religious and while she did not belong 
to any church, yet she liked to have the minister call upon her in her 
home, and when her husband died, made the selection of the funeral text 
and it was the writers privilege to pray with her in the home.
        She was always known as a hard working woman and simplicity 
reigned in the home.  By the people of this village and community she 
and her husband were highly spoken of because of their known integrety 
and thus in the going of both Mr. and Mrs. Knight  Pleasant Lake loses 
its valued citizens. 
        She leaves to mourn her departure besides her adopted son, 
Franke Miller, two brothers Ephriam and Wall Hulwick of Angola, besides 
many nieces and nephews and other relatives.
        Funeral services were held in the U.B. Church of Pleasant Lake, 
the pastor Rev. F.B. Parker officiating.
