Charles died from metastatic colon cancer.

Obituary

Mr. George P. Snider, who has been in declining health for several years, died yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at the residence of his brother-in-law, Rev. Dr. Jos.S. Key. His disease was consumption. Near three years ago Mr. Snider had so failed in health that he was compelled to give up business, and seek safety in retirement and quiet. The fatal disease baffled all attempts to arrest it. The skill of physicians and the kind ministrations of love alike failed. And yesterday, as quietly as a child sinks to sleep, his life closed.
The remains will be taken to Savannah by the train this morning for burial in the family vault in Laural Grove Cemetery. Mr Snider was forty-eight years old.

SANTIAGO, Chile — Passengers clung to the wings and tail of a chartered jetliner in icy waters after it skidded off the runway of a remote Chilean island, killing 20 people, authorities and witnesses said Thursday.

The small four-engine jetliner of the Chilean airline LAN was trying to land Wednesday at Puerto Williams on Navarino island when it overshot the runway and crashed into the Beagle Channel, 1,500 miles south of Santiago, airline officials said.

The plane sank within minutes, witnesses said, and some passengers froze to death after they jumped into the icy waters of the channel, which separates Chile from Argentina near Cape Horn.

The 65 passengers, mostly Americans, were on their way to an Antarctic cruise organized by a Seattle-based tour company. Seven crew members also were on the plane, and all survived.

LAN issued a list Thursday of those who died, and it included 17 Americans, a Canadian, an Italian and an Israeli.

The U.S. victims were listed as Hudegared Auguston, 56, and Elaine Ash, 74, of Los Angeles; William Bennett, 71, of Ventura, Calif.; Ann Crammond, 65, and Dorothy Day, 65, of Atlanta; Thomas Fath, 51, of Cincinnati, and Raymond Johnson, 72, and May Johnson, 71, of Chicago.

Also, Pearl Kamber, 73, of Silver Springs, Md.; Gavin Lally, 78, of Dallas; Carol Sargent, 63, and Robert Sargent, 63, of Connecticut; John Smith, 77, of Birmingham, Ala.; Elizabeth Stone, 48, of Georgia; Lynn Vanaken, 58, of Miami, and John Wilson, 76, and Kathleen Wilson, 69, of New Orleans.

An initial inquiry provided no clues to the cause of the crash of the plane, a British Aerospace 146, said Chilean air force Cmdr. Hernan Baharhona, who is heading the investigation.

"After 10 minutes, all you could see was the tail," wrote Maria Cristina del Pino, a correspondent for the Santiago daily El Mercurio. "The aircraft started to sink while the passengers emerged, many of them clinging to the wings, awaiting to be rescued."

Another reporter said passengers froze to death when they tried to swim 150 yards to a beach.

Mrs. Caroline Truitty Rast, who resided in the Cream Level community died at the family home on Wednesday, November 16. Interment, under the direction of the Hilliard Undertaking Co., Canton, took place in the Holly Springs cemetery on Thursday, Nov. 17, with Rev. M.I.

Published in the Canton Herald (Canton, TX) on November 25, 1932.

Note:  This obituary has conflicting information with regards to marriage age (Tishomingo/Alcorn County Marriage License - she was 21 years old at time of marriage) and death year (87 years back from 1932 equals 1845, not 1855).  There is also conflicting information with regards to the death month and day (Texas Death certificate shows October 16, 1932 whereas the obituary shows November 16, 1932); however, we have sided with the obituary information based on the dates of publication and funeral information.

STILSON — Mrs. Ida Idell Helmly Knight, age 92, died Friday evening, July 20th, 2012, at her residence under the care of Ogeechee Area Hospice. Mrs. Knight was born in Rincon, Georgia to Carl and Minnie Helmly. Before she married Calhoun Knight on Jan. 18, 1949, she was a riveter and welder at Steel Products that later became Great Dane, and later worked in the lab of Southern Cotton Oil Company.

She continued to work after her marriage and later stayed home to care for her growing family. Following her husband's death in 1967, she was left to raise her four children, ages 2 to 15, a monumental task as the youngest child was a special needs child. She was always grateful for the support that she received from her family and church family. This carried her through many trying and difficult times. Throughout her life Mrs. Knight worked tirelessly. Whenever she was not caring for her daughter and other children, she was busy picking up and shelling pecans, putting up vegetables, attending church and preparing delicious meals for her family and anyone else who had the opportunity to sit at her table. In later years she decided to work as caregiver and cared for many people in the community. She always said she "sat with old people", but most of the patients were older than she. She will be greatly missed. The Effingham County native lived in the Stilson Community most of her life and was a member of the Lanes Primitive Baptist Church. She was preceded in death by her husband, Calhoun Knight and a son Wayne Knight.

Surviving are a daughter, Donna Knight of Lyons; two sons and daughters-in-law, Winton and Larissa Knight of Bloomingdale and Perry and Genie Knight of Stilson; four grandchildren, Ricky Knight of Stilson, Lisa Smoak of Meldrim, Brianna Hendley of Pooler and Caroline Knight of Bloomingdale; three great grandchildren, Ansley Knight and Jeb and Ellie Smoak; two sisters, Dorine Hinely of Port Wentworth and Betty Charron of Savannah and a brother, Robert Helmly of Rincon.
