Notes
Excerpts from the Biography of John M. Knight (son of John Allen Knight) from The Young Women's Journal, Vol. 30
His father, Patriarch John A. Knight, recently deceased, was a man of unimpeachable character, sterling faith, and incapitulating loyalty who could be depended upon to render every service that might be required of him. Sister Isora Knight, John's mother, now a resident of the Eleventh Ward, is a representative woman of the old school, patient, industrious, and God-fearing, the source of unfailing help and strength to her posterity.
President Knight was brought up as a wheelright under the skilful tutelage of his father, who, for many years, was a member of the well known firm of Oblad and Knight. Later, Patriarch Knight with John and several of the latter's brothers organized the Knight Carriage and Automobile Company on Social Hall Avenue; of this last named enterprise.

(Research):NOTE: Some records show Uitenhage or Eutenauge for birth place. Perhaps this is a county for Port Elizabeth. Calvin Knight's research indicates that John Allen Knight came to Utah on Sept. 4, 1864. That date might be the date that the boat left South Africa.
