KNIGHT, EUSEBA - In Lostcreek, May 8th, 1865, whilst returning home from school, Euseba, daughter of Stephen and Delilah Knight, aged 8 years.  Thus suddenly was this loved one taken from the fond parents and happy home circle.  By a genial temperament and kind disposition, she gave joy to the household and scattered gloom away.  On the morning of her death, she sang her favorite hymn, "I wish I was an Angel," and left her home never more to return but as the lifeless remains of an Angel who had departed "with Jesus to dwell."  Without a warning note Euseba was taken away, none saw her dying agony, or were permitted to close her eyes in death, but Jesus with pitying eye beheld her, and folded the child angel to his loving bosom.  Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not death may come.                                     C.
