Short Biography of Aaron Knight & Rebecca Adams

[Dea. Aaron Knight] settled on the home place. He was a man of ability and strong character, influential and respected. He held hte office of deacon in the Congregational church for many years, and ever took an active interest in its welfare. In his life-labor he was most rarely sustained and blessed in his wife, and their home was the center of an influence that was elevating. Rebecca (Adams) Knight was intellectually, morally, and spiritually fitted to fill any sphere of life in the foremost rank among the women of any time. Her sphere was limited, but she made the most of it. She was an earnest Christian, and a woman of deep, strong convictions. She took a leading part in church work, and was ever a power for good. Her influence was everywhere felt and recognized as a factor in building up character in the church and general community. Her children inherited to a large degree her remarkable qualities, and, as a family, have not been unworthy of such a mother.
