The esteem in which the late Mrs Amy Alethia Knight, wife of Mr Joseph. Knight, was held was demonstrated by the large and representative attendance at her funeral on Sunday. The remains were taken to the church, where a service was conducted by tho Rev. 8. W. Bonnor. During the service the organ played 'I Know That My Redeemer Liveth,' also 'Who Are These Arrayed in White.' At the graveside, the Rev.
