Is this a twin of Dorr? Is this Dorr with a slightly different name and sex? Note the mother's birth surname. Might Dorr's middle name be Santec instead of Santee? If this is a twin, would Dorr be listed too? At any rate, thetownship of birth, Royalton Twp. receives evidence as place of birth. - D.A. Navorska - i Oct MMXI - Irving, TX

Mr. Knight was 76 years old. He was born in Fulton county, Ohio in 1874, and came to the valley 29 years ago. He was 32nd degree Mason and a past master of the Masonic Lodge of La Feria. Mr. Knight held a life membership in theAncient Accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Toledo, Ohio, chapter. He was member of the San Benito Commandery, No. 62, Knights Templar, and of the San Benito Council No. 309 RSM and the San Benito Chapter 366 RAM. For three years he wasworthy patron of the La Feria chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, and was recently named for a fourth term. Mr. Knight was a past president of the La Feria Rotary Club.

Although his health was not too good in his last years, he maintained a high spirit and fine good humor at all times. He was willing to assist others until his final hour. La Feriawill miss Dorr S.
