Death's Visit - Invades the Knetzer Home and Takes Away the Mother.

On Tuesday morning shortly after 8 o'clock Mrs. Jane S. Knetzer died at her home on south Jefferson street, after long suffering from bronchial affections. She was the wife of James A. Knetzer, the well known mail carrier, and the mother of Mrs. Frank P. Merrill, of Moons ranch; a few miles east of Corning. The funeral is to take place on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Christian church. The deceased was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, on August 12, 1832. She was married in 1860 and came to Tehama county, residing near Tehama for five years, when she and her husband went back to their old home and remained there until 1881, when they made the second trip to California and again settled near Tehama where they resided until 1884 when they came to Red Bluff and have lived here since.

Mrs. Knetzer possessed all the qualities which proved the true Christian woman. She was one of the pioneers in the church she faithfully attended, becoming a member when she was but a girl of fourteen, and steadfastly maintained her faith in the denomination until the day she died. She was a woman of strong domestic habits, and those who were favored with her friendship considered it a great privilege.
