Henry W. Knight was born 1876 in California, the son of Hiram & Ida Fuller (Walker) Knight. By 1920, he had joined his uncle Richard Haynes Knight
on the Toklat River in Kantishna District, Alaska. Henry's occupation was listed as miner in 1920. Richard, was listed as a roadhouse keeper. In 1930, Henry Knight
is listed as the owner of Knight's Roadhouse, rather than Richard, who had apparently died. There is no mention of a wife for either Henry or Richard in the 1920 or
1930 census. [Source: U.S. Census] Ed Brooker describes a journey in which he spent a night at Knight's Roadhouse: "One stop for the night was at Knight's Roadhouse
on the Toklat River. A Mr. and Mrs. Knight with one son had lived here for a number of years. In summer they saw no one because the terrain both east and west of them
was swamp, and mosquitoes, almost impassable. They were self sufficient with their garden, their game and perhaps some fish, though the Toklat River is muddy.
"Their place stands out because it was the only stop we made where the cabin was warm when we arrived and we did not have to cook our own grub. In passing, I have
heard that the Knight family stayed on for a number of years till both Mr. and Mrs. Knight passed away and were buried by their son. I have lost the story of the son."
