Have just learned of the death of Mrs. Susan Knowles of Sun City which occurred at a late hour [Oct 28, 1905]. The deceased was 68 years of age. She was apparently very strong and only a week ago she was unusually lively.Mrs. Knowles leaves a husband, one son and two daughters [Frank S., Finette McNicholas, and Alzina Harrington] to mourn her absence, as well as scores of dear friends.
It was first thought that appendicitis was her trouble but further developments soon showed that it was a stricture of the bowels. Post mortem examination was held by Drs. Hutchinson, Peak and [Tenney], the latter being a sister[-in-law] of the deceased.
She was interred in the Lake City cemetery Monday afternoon.
