Death of Mrs. Robt. T. Barton.
We announced in our last issue the serious illness of Mrs. Katie Knight Barton at her home in Winchester Virginia, and whose death occurred on Saturday last. Miss Katie Knight will be pleasantly recalled by many of her friends in Elkton, where she visited frequently before her marriage. She was a bright and vivacious girl, sprightly in her conversation, attractive in person and very
engaging in her manners. She was the eldest of six daughters, the children of the late William Knight a prominent and leading citizen of this county, by his second marriage with Miss Arrabella Veazey daughter of the late Thomas B. Veazey. Mr. Knight's first wife was Miss Rebecca Ringgold [her first name was not in the article] daughter of Judge Ringgold of Kent county. Wm. W. Knight [William Matthew Knight] the present special deputy collector of the port of Baltimore, is the only child by that marriage. By his second wife he had six daughters. Catherine the eldest just deceased who married Robt. T. Barton, a prominent lawyer and one of the leading citizens of Winchester, Virgina. Charlotte Knight who married Wm. Ward [25] now living in Sassafrass Neck. Annie Knight who married Duncan Veazey still living in Baltimore. Arrabella Knight who died some years ago in early maidenhood. Julia who married Mr. Thos. M. Harrison, a lawyer, in Winchester, and Nellie Knight who married Henry B. Wirt,
and after his death married Dr. Julian F. Ward, of Virginia, and now resident in Baltimore. Mrs. Barton left no children. Her funeral took place in Winchester, on Monday last.
