His sons Carlos and Edward arrived here the following day, Feb. 12th with him. Relatives from Bunkerville, Mesquite, Littlefield, and Gunlock were in attendance at his funeral, on Feb. 13. The meeting house was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The speakers were President David H. Cannon, President Ed H. Snow, Elder Edward R. Fren, President Thomas P. Cottam, and Bishop John G. Hafen. They all spoke words of comfort to the bereaved and spoke of the high esteem which Brother Knight held among the people. Brother Knight had no enemies and all who knew him loved him.

He died as he lived, a faithful Latter-day Saint, and has now gone to his reward.
