Henry Smith Knowles, one of this towns well known and highly esteemed citizens, died Saturday February 13. He was born in Northwood, August 20, 1848, and was the son of Smith Knowles. He has long been a merchant in this town and his familiar face will be greatly missed. His death came as a great shock to the community as it was very sudden. Mr.Knowles was also an undertaker and early the morning of the day of his death he was called to prepare the body of Mrs. Hart for burial. After completing this duty he was stricken with a shock which rendered him unconscious and he remained in that condition until he died about nine o'clock p.m. He was immediately moved to Jerry Foggs, a nearby neighbor, and doctors Hill of Epsom and Carr of Pittsfield and a trained nurse were summoned but he was beyond medical aid when they arrived. He married Genella, daughter of Jonathan Cate of Deerfield and as the result of this union three children were born; William H., who lived in the same house with his father; Albert C., a traveling salesman for the Dunlap Seed Company, and Mar G., wife of Albert Barton. The body was taken to his home in charge of a Concord undertaker where the funeral was held Wednesday at 12 o'clock.
