Knight, Helga (25 Mar. 1884 - 27 Apr. 1950)

Mrs. Helga Knight, 66, Owen, died at her home at 1:00 p.m. Thursday. Death was attributed to a heart attack.

Funeral services were held Sunday at the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Curtiss, with the Rev. O. K. Odland officiating. Burial was made in the family lot of the church cemetery.

Mrs. Knight, the former Helga Botterud, was born March 25, 1884, in the town of Hoard. She received her education in Curtiss and was married to Allen Knight, in October, 1902, at Owen. She was a resident of Hoard township until her marriage, when they moved to Owen, living there until 1916. They moved back to the farm where she was born and they lived there until 1942 when Mr. Knight died. Since that time she lived at Owen.

She was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church and also of the Ladies’ Aid Society of that church.

She is survived by a son, Chester, Abbotsford, and five daughters, Mrs. Levi (Selma) Ecke, Junction City; Mrs. John (Pearl) Lokken, Curtiss; Mrs. Warren (Hazel) Rettis, Chicago; Mrs. Orville (Beatrice) Thorson, Minneapolis and Mrs. Leonard (Irene) Kivikko, Owen; two brothers, Harry, Boston, Mass., and Carl, Milwaukee; four sisters, Mrs. Henry Heinzel, Vancouver, Wash.; Mrs. Arthur Stadler, Owen; Mrs. Nathan Azin, Chicago; and Mrs. Adolph Northrem, Superior; and 11 grandchildren.
