Maquoketa, Ia., March 14--Elizabeth Jane Knight was born April 18, 1840, in Indiana, and died March 8, 1917, aged 76 years, 11 months and 20 days.

She was married to Levi Shoeberger Sept. 11, 1859, at Wyoming, Iowa, who preceded her to the better world nineteen years ago. To this union were born seven children, four of whom are still living: James, Frank and Mrs. Ella Scott of this vicinity and Mrs. Edna Davis of Robinson, Ia.; also 25 grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

She was a woman of rare physical ability, and her devotion to her family was ceaseless and untiring. A familiar figure for about half a century, she will be missed very much by relatives and friends.
