  Diana King-Knight, b. March 7, 1816; d. June 26, 1871. She married Shubal Knight and spent her life at Pompey, N. Y. They ad four children: Esther and Adelaide died young. Emma R. and Clifford live together on the old place, and have never married. The father died April 15, 1900.
  Diana suffered greatly for 12 years with an aggravated rheumatic trouble. When Clifford, a promising young man, was about 30 he was attacked by the same dread disease. It has now run into hip disease, with no hope of cure. At the close of 1903 he had had 137 operations performed upon his hip, to remove the accumulation of pus upon the bone. Through it all he remains patient and cheerful. His sister Emma is giving her life to him, as he did first to her mother, and then to her father. All the heroes are not of the battlefield, nor are all the heroines those who have done world-famous deeds. Emma was born June 21, 1847, and Clifford in March, 1859.
