Obituary	ANDREW HUDSON KNIGHT 1834 - 1915 Andrew H. Knight was born in Dexter, December 8, 1834 and died there on March 14, 1915. He was the son of Andrew and Susan Copeland Knight who lived in school district number five. His parents both died when he was about five years old and Andrew was taken into the home of his mother's brother, Luther Copeland. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland had no children of their own and they brought the boy up as their son. On November 11, 1860, Andrew H. Knight was united in marriage with Annie Susan Weymouth of Sangerville, a daughter of John and Lucia (Blake) (Newhall), Weymouth and they had two sons, Greenwood H. and Andrew Willis Knight. As a young man Mr. Knight worked for a time for Rev. J. F. Witherell in the office of the Gem and Gazette, being the first printer's "devil" in Dexter. From 1863 to 1869 he was a clerk in the war department in Washington. Then for a short time the family was in Iowa. After the death of Luther Copeland in 1871, Mr. and Mrs. Knight came to Dexter to care for Mrs. Copeland. Mrs. Copeland died in 1876 leaving the home to Mr. Knight, and here the family lived for many years. Mr. Knight was for some years in the Boot and Shoe business in this town, as a partner in the firm of Corson and Knight and later as proprietor of the A. H. Knight Company. Always courteous and strictly honest he made many friends. He was employed for a time as clerk in the First National Bank and then became assistant cashier, which office he held until failing health forced him to resign. Mr. and Mrs. Knight lived for a short time with their son Greenwood in Laconia, New Hampshire but soon returned to Dexter. Andrew H. Knight The death of Andrew Knight occurred at his home at the corner of Pleasant and Maple streets Sunday evening, after an illness of several months. He had been in failing health for a long time, and for some time past had been confined to thc. house during the winter months. Mr. Knight was a native of Dexter, the son of Andrew and Susan (Copeland) Knight, in 1835, being at the time of his death 80 years old, three months and six days of age. He was educated in the schools of Dexter and for a time was in the employ of I. F. Witherell, publisher of the Gem and Gazette, soon after the establishment of the paper. For the greater part of his business life he was engaged in the boot and shoe business. After retiring from that line, he was for a number of years and within a few years, assistant cashier of the First National bank of Dexter. Of a quiet, unassuming manner, Mr. Knight was a man who many friends and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Besides his wife, he is survived by two sons, Dr. Greenwood Knight of Laconia, N. H. and A. W. Knight of Rockland, Mass. Funeral services were held from the home Wednesday afternoon and were attended by a delegation of members of Penobscot lodge, F. & A. M., of which the deceased was an honored member.
