Death of Horace L. Knight and Wife.
Of Horace L. Knight and wife of Auburn, parents of Mrs. J. B. Sherwood of this city who died in Auburn, the Advertiser of that city says: H. L. Knight was an active and energetic business man and throughout his whole career was diligent and indefatigable, although against this severe competition of the many others engaged during all those years in the mercantile trade he was not able to reap the commensurate rewards of his untiring application. During the past 15 or 20 years he had retired from mercantile pursuits, although engaged in other occupations with his usual activity. His personal character and life were regular and blameless and his cheerfulness and kind feeling for others always survived the usual misfortunes and anxieties which clouded his life for many years past. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of this city for over 50 years, and with his family was a constant attendant, taking a deep and abiding interest in everything pertaining to the welfare and usefulness of the church. Mrs. Knight came here with her mother and sisters in the fall of 1884. Her father, John C. Smith had recently died in New York, and one of her sisters, the wife of Gilbert M. Milligan came with him to reside in Auburn. Mr. Milligan and his family stayed here a few years, and returned to New York about 1842. Mrs. Knight was an amiable and engaging woman full of sympathy and kindness for others, and although quite domestic and retiring in her habits, was highly esteemed by all who knew her. Her life was exemplary as wife, as mother and as friend. In the exhibition of that love and charity which are the products of the Christian faith. Stricken by disease about six weeks ago and steadily declining towards the end, neither her faith nor her cheerful resignation failed her. Assisted by the untiring devotion and efforts of her husband, her sufferings were altercated in some degree although it was quite evident to her friends that her life was spent. Her husband exhausted by the severity of his labor and watching, he was taken ill about ten days ago, and it soon became evident that he too  was to be called away. He died in the morning and she in the afternoon of the same day; both peacefully and with out pain or struggle. The double funeral is appointed for Wednesday next at 2 o”clock P.M., at their residence in Seminary street.

BIOGRAPHY: The Auburn Bulletin - 1894
A Knight From Auburn
A Worthless Husband in Trouble in Hamilton, Ontario
A dispatch from Niagara Falls says: “William B. Knight, a commercial traveler, is under arrest here charged with bigamy on complaint of Gertrude Price of Hamilton, Ont., who is reported to be in a dying condition in that city from a criminal operation. Knight's other wife was Miss Anna Burroughs of Auburn, whom he married several years ago. When his second wife learned he had another living she refused to live with him, and finding herself in a delicate condition, resorted to an operation with will probably cost her her life.” The Knight above referred to was a former Auburnian and as stated in the dispatch was married to Miss Anna Burroughs of this city, a sister of James W. Burroughs, the printer, whom he deserted some years ago leaving her to support herself and two little children. Mrs. Knight was well known and for a number of years after her husband deserted her taught music to support herself and children. She was successful as a teacher of the piano. About three years ago she left for Lowell, Mich., where she is at present living and teaching music. Knight had done nothing to support his children. He has repeatedly feigned repentance but has made no effort to mend his ways. Mrs. Knight's friends in Auburn had not heard of his whereabouts in years.

Knight Still Held
Nothing Heard From His Second Wife – Fierce Minded Father-in-Law.
William B. Knight, the man arrested by Officer Griffin of the Ontario Frontier police at Niagara Falls, Ont., last week on the charge of bigamy, as noted in yesterday’s Gazette, is still in limbo on the Canadian side. Nothing further has been heard from his second wife, pretty little Gertie Price, who was reported dying from a criminal operation in Hamilton, Ont., hospital. Knight is a widely known commercial man who has been on the road a number of years past. He is 47 years old and married his first wife in Auburn. She was Miss Anna Burroughs and he lived with her in Auburn for a number of years. Domestic troubles caused her to leave him. The father of his second wife has brought the charge against him and says he will make him suffer dearly for wrecking his daughter’s life and forcing her to the step she has taken.

Oswego Daily Times, Wednesday, March 14, 1894
Victim of a Bigamist.
William B. Knight, a commercial traveler, is under arrest at Niagara Falls charged with bigamy on complaint of Gertrude Price, of Hamilton, Ont., who is reported to be in a dying condition in that city from a criminal operation. Knight’s other wife was Miss Anna Bourroughs, of Auburn, whom he married several years ago. When his second wife learned that he had another wife living she refused to live with him, and finding herself in a delicate condition, resorted to an operation which will probably cost her life.

Knight Convicted
Judge Hill Gives the Bigamist One Year In Central Prison
William B. Knight, the commercial tourist arrested for bigamy, was tried before Justice Hill in Niagara Falls, Ont., today and convicted. Knight, it will be remembered, married Gertrude Price of Hamilton, Ont., some three or four months ago, when he had a wife living. The principal witness in the case today was Mrs. Ellen K.

Anna M. BURROUGHS [Parents]-LCJD-HC2 was born in 1858. Anna married (MRIN:207) William B. KNIGHT-LCJD-HWW in 1882 in Auburn, Cayuga, New York.

BIOGRAPHY: The Syracuse Standard, Thursday Morning, February 19, 1885
William B. Knight and Anna M. Burroughs have been married some three years, and to them two children have been born. Until last Saturday they lived in a house in Cayuga street. They used a coal bin, it is alleged, so near that of their that of their  next neighbor that Knight found it easier to help empty the other than to keep his own full, and on Saturday he was reminded of this in a manner expressive. He agreed to settle for the coal taken in the past months and went to his place of employment, J. D. Simpson's Grocery, in Genesee street. Here he settled up his affairs, drew what salary he had coming, and then disappeared, since which time his whereabouts have been unknown. Mrs. Knight is the daughter of a most respectable family, and is left with little ones to battle for. Knight has always borne a good reputation. He was at one time collector for the Dispatch, and has held places of trust. He has lately been salesman in the grocery store of John D. Simpson. The latter says he has discovered no irregularities in Mr. Knight and believes him to be honest. It is said, however, that the family relations of the young man have not been pleasant, and that his disappearance is owing to this rather than to the alleged theft of the coal. Mrs. Knight has returned to the home of her mother.

BIOGRAPHY: The Auburn Bulletin - 1894
A Knight From Auburn
A Worthless Husband in Trouble in Hamilton, Ontario
A dispatch from Niagara Falls says: “William B. Knight, a commercial traveler, is under arrest here charged with bigamy on complaint of Gertrude Price of Hamilton, Ont., who is reported to be in a dying condition in that city from a criminal operation. Knight's other wife was Miss Anna Burroughs of Auburn, whom he married several years ago. When his second wife learned he had another living she refused to live with him, and finding herself in a delicate condition, resorted to an operation with will probably cost her her life.” The Knight above referred to was a former Auburnian and as stated in the dispatch was married to Miss Anna Burroughs of this city, a sister of James W. Burroughs, the printer, whom he deserted some years ago leaving her to support herself and two little children. Mrs. Knight was well known and for a number of years after her husband deserted her taught music to support herself and children. She was successful as a teacher of the piano. About three years ago she left for Lowell, Mich., where she is at present living and teaching music. Knight had done nothing to support his children. He has repeatedly feigned repentance but has made no effort to mend his ways. Mrs. Knight's friends in Auburn had not heard of his whereabouts in years.

Knight Still Held
Nothing Heard From His Second Wife – Fierce Minded Father-in-Law.
William B. Knight, the man arrested by Officer Griffin of the Ontario Frontier police at Niagara Falls, Ont., last week on the charge of bigamy, as noted in yesterday’s Gazette, is still in limbo on the Canadian side. Nothing further has been heard from his second wife, pretty little Gertie Price, who was reported dying from a criminal operation in Hamilton, Ont., hospital. Knight is a widely known commercial man who has been on the road a number of years past. He is 47 years old and married his first wife in Auburn. She was Miss Anna Burroughs and he lived with her in Auburn for a number of years. Domestic troubles caused her to leave him. The father of his second wife has brought the charge against him and says he will make him suffer dearly for wrecking his daughter’s life and forcing her to the step she has taken.

Oswego Daily Times, Wednesday, March 14, 1894
Victim of a Bigamist.
William B. Knight, a commercial traveler, is under arrest at Niagara Falls charged with bigamy on complaint of Gertrude Price, of Hamilton, Ont., who is reported to be in a dying condition in that city from a criminal operation. Knight’s other wife was Miss Anna Bourroughs, of Auburn, whom he married several years ago. When his second wife learned that he had another wife living she refused to live with him, and finding herself in a delicate condition, resorted to an operation which will probably cost her life.

Knight Convicted
Judge Hill Gives the Bigamist One Year In Central Prison
William B. Knight, the commercial tourist arrested for bigamy, was tried before Justice Hill in Niagara Falls, Ont., today and convicted. Knight, it will be remembered, married Gertrude Price of Hamilton, Ont., some three or four months ago, when he had a wife living. The principal witness in the case today was Mrs. Ellen K. Burroughs of Lowell, Mich., Knight’s mother-in-law by his first wife. Mrs. Burroughs arrived last night from the west and was only too anxious to give the testimony which convicted her erring son-in-law. Knight was sentenced to on year in the Central prison at Toronto. Frederick Hill appeared for the prisoner.
