Richard Knight
was born on
3 Aug 1806 in Kingston-upon-Hull, England. He died on 3 Nov 1890 in St. Paul,
Minnesota. In the cornerstone of the Richard Knight Auditorium, Wellesley Hills,
Massachusetts: "Richard Knight was born August 3, 1806, and Kingston-upon-Hull,
England. After some years of business life in London, he became a dissenting
minister, preaching at Sheffield, Lowth and Hull and, under the auspices of the
London Port Society, spending three years as Seamen's Chaplain at Hamburg, Germany,
where, at one time, he was imprisoned some months for evangelical preaching.
In 1849, with his wife and three children, he came to America. He was settled
over Presbyterian churches in New York State, afterward coming to Holyoke, Mass.,
as pastor of the Second Congregational Church. While in Holyoke, he became interested
in the controversy over Kansas and eventually took charge of a colony of one
hundred people who went out to Kansas to settle and to help in making Kansas
a free state. He was a delegate to the First Constitutional Convention of Kansas,
was a member of the Governor's staff and, on account of the activities of the
pro-slavery agitators, he often preached armed with sword and pistols. He was
well acquainted with John Brown and other famous anti-slavery leaders. All the
hardships of life in a new country were his and his wife and son died in Kansas.
Returning to Massachusetts with his two daughters, he took the pastorate of
the First Congregational Church of South Hadley Falls where he remained for twenty-three
years. He married Jane Milk Cummings of Morgan, Vermont, and his three surviving
daughters, Mrs Freeman Putney of South Weymouth, Massachusetts, Miss Camilla
Jane Knight of Wellesley, Mass., and Mrs. Roger W. Babson of Wellesley, Mass.,
are children of his American wife. In 1878, when seventy-two years of age, he
became the pastor of the Congregational Church at Southwick, Mass., where he
stayed for six years, until failing health made it necessary for him to resign.
After this he preached in a small schoolhouse near his home in Barnwell, South
Carolina, where he spent winters, and occasionally in Gloucester, Mass., during
his summers in the north. In 1890, he and his wife went to Sl Paul, Minnesota,
and there he died. November 3, 1890, his two elder daughters, Miss Emily Ann
Knight and Mrs. William P. Reid, who lived in Minnesota, and the three daughters
now surviving being with him in his last illness. He was buried in St. Paul.
Mr. Knight was always interested in education. When living at South Hadley
Falls, he often preached at Mt. Holyoke Seminary in South Hadley (now Mt. Holyoke
College) and many of the older professors and alumnae remember him well. He
was for some time a trustee of Hartford Theological Seminary. The advanced ideas
in education to be carried out in the development of the Babson Institute would
have greatly interested him, and it is fitting that the Auditorium presented
to the Institute by his youngest daughter should be named in memory of him.
- Wellesley, Mass., September 28, 1922."

Putney after the dedication of the above mentioned auditorium, a copy of which was in the possesion of Caleb Pitkin in 1996. The biography was evidentlly privately printed.

LACKLAND King of England(1) was born
on 24 Dec 1167 in Oxford. He died on 19 Oct 1216. He was buried in Newark Castle,
Nottingham. John (of England), called John Lackland (1167-1216), king of England
(1199-1216), best known for signing the Magna Carta.
John was born in Oxford on December 24, 1167, the youngest son of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Henry provided for the eventual inheritance of his lands by his older sons before John was born. By 1186, however, only Richard I, the Lion-Hearted, and John were left as Henry's heirs. In 1189, as Henry neared death, John joined Richard's rebellion against their father, and when Richard was crowned, he gave John many estates and titles. John tried but failed to usurp the Crown while Richard was away on the Third Crusade: Upon returning to England, Richard forgave him. When his brother died in 1199, John became king. A revolt ensued by the supporters of Arthur of Brittany, the son of John's brother, Geoffrey. Arthur was defeated and captured in 1202, and John is believed to have had him murdered. King Philip II of France continued Arthur's war until John had to surrender nearly all his French possessions in 1204. In 1207 John refused to accept the election of Stephen Langton as archbishop of Canterbury. Pope Innocent III then excommunicated him and began negotiating with Philip for an invasion of England. Desperate, John surrendered England to the pope and in 1213 received it back as a fief. Trying to regain his French possession, he was decisively defeated by Philip in 1214. John's reign had become increasingly tyrannical; to support his wars he had extorted money, raised taxes, and confiscated properties. His barons finally united to force him to respect their rights and privileges. John had little choice but to sign the Magna Carta presented to him by his barons at Runnymede in 1215, making him subject, rather than superior, to the law. Shortly afterward John and the barons were at war. He died at Newark in Nottinghamshire on October 19, 1216, while still pursuing the campaign, and was succeeded by his son, Henry III. Parents: Henry II King of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Children were: Henry III King of England. Charles

The following letter was written from South Royalton, Vt. to the widow of Simeon
E. Dwinell in Marshfield on Dec. 10, 1921: "Dear Cousin Clara, My mother
let me take your letter to read and I was so much interested that I read it through
twice. It makes me feel that I should like to express my sympathy for you and
your girls. I know what it means to lose a good kind father. I miss him SO
MUCH. The tears will come as I write of him. I am glad you are trying to bear
your great sorrow bravely for your daughter's sake, the same as my mother has.
My father and mother, and you and your husband were two very devoted couples,
more so than the majority, I think. You are rich in pleasant memories of your
married life and in that way are blest above some others. Your mother was spared
to you a good many years. How dreary the last of her life would have been if
she had not had you and a kind son-in-law to live with. I think it was about
a year ago that I wrote to her and sent one of the Harvest Ingathering magazines
and you and she kindly sent me a contribution for the foreign mission work.
I will send you a copy of the magazine that is being used to solicit with this
year. You will notice on page 32 the amount that was raised by soliciting last
year. How much good it must have done! Now if you and your girls feel like
helping a little this year, I should be much pleased and am sure you would be
blest in so doing. My the Lord give you and the girls strength and courage to
bear your sorrow is the heartfelt prayer of -- Your cousin, Alma L. Case"

"Marshfield, Oct. 14 -- This community was saddened and greatly shocked Sunday evening at about five o'clock, when it became known that Henry c. Lamberton had committed suicide by hanging. Mr. Lamberton had been in failing health for some time, but not until six weeks ago had he been considered ill, and he had worked up to last Saturday. On Sunday his brother, Albert E., was at his home and noticed that Henry's mind was not right, that something was troubling him. The fact that he had sold his little farm and the writings were to have been made today was considered the cause of his uneasiness. Mrs. Lamberton had known of his mental trouble, but hoped against hope that he would recover, and pati4ently and faithfully bore her burden. Mr. Lamberton went to his barn as usual to do the night's chores, and after securing his cows threw a rope over an overlay, directly behind the cows, and leaning forward and downward against the loop, strangled in a very few minutes. Thus Mrs. Lamberton found him and called to a passing team for aid. They summoned help at once, and the proper authorities were notified. Dr. Burbank of Cabot was called, and undertaker L. B. Adams took charge of the body. Mr. Lamberton was one of the most highly esteemed citizens of this town, a most kind neighbor and friend, and the best of husbands and fathers. He had no enemies, and everyone who had known him considers his act purely from insanity, for Mr. Lamberton, in his right mind, was a deeply religious man, even living up to the last of the precepts of his faith, being an Adventist. Henry c. Lamberton was born in this town August 19, 1848, son of Obed and Irena Lamberton, one of eight children. He was married March 6, 1867, to Elsie Bemis of this town, and two daughters survive him. With the exception of a portion of one year in the west and about three years in Massachusetts, Mr. Lamberton had been a lifelong resident of this town. Beside a host of friends, Mr. Lamberton leaves to mourn his loss a widow, two daughters, Alma, Mrs. Arthur W. Case of Chelsea, and Inez, Mrs. E. Ernest Barnes of Sharon; one granddaughter, Eloise Case; a sister, Mrs. Jane Cole, and two Brothers, Moses and Albert of this town. The funeral will be at the house on Tuesday at 1 o'clock. Mr. Lamberton will be greatly missed from the neighborhood and town. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their affliction." He was married to Elsie BEMIS on 6 Mar 1867. Children were: Inez Lamberton, Alma Lamberton. Inez
Lamberton "Rev. O. E. Aiken of the methodist church was called to Marshfield
on the 22nd inst, to perform the ceremony at the Barnes-Lamberton wedding. The
contracting parties were N. Ernest Barnes of Franklin, Mass., and Miss Inez,
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lamberton. The event took place at the
home of the bride, being a quiet affair, the immediate relatives only, being
present. The room was beautifullly and profusely decorated with flowers and
potted plants, some of which were rere specimens. the bride was very beautifully
gowned and looked very charming and attractive. The presents were many and costly.
Among them was an elegant gold watch, a gift from the groom to the bride. At
the conclusion of the ceremony all repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous
