BIOGRAPHY: Part of an E-Mail from Sharon.Mason@cox.net My family is having a family reunion in Chautauqua County in September and I hope to find more information then. I don't know how many people will attend as most live on the West Coast. I live in Southern California and my Knight line is from my mother, Hattie Modelle Knight. My grandfather, Nelson Thurman Knight, was a well-known and well-traveled Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) evangelist. Very dynamic person. He was a lumber jack in his younger days and won awards for "sawing and bucking". My grandmother Knight's family came West on a covered wagon to the Olympic Pennisula where many of them still live. My mom and grandma were both born on the Pennisula. I was born in Phoenix where the family moved when my grandfather was "called" to pastor the Phoenix Church of God. We moved to Southern California when I was a small girl in 1946.
