My life has been a very busy one and a useful one, I hope. I attended the elementary and grammar schools of Lindon and Pleasant Grove, Utah.

I have been an active worker in church organizations since my youth. At the time the beehive work was instituted, I organized and taught the first swarm in the Lindon Ward. Previous to that I had taught Primary and Sunday School classes.

My secondary education had its beginning in the High School of the B.Y.U. at Provo. In order to help finance my schooling, I worked in the B.Y.U. library. The next year I attended the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. My Aunt Mary was a great inspiration to me and her financial help made it possible for me to continue in school. The next year I and my sister Ella went with Aunt Mary to the Agricultural College in Logan, Utah. Aunt Mary had graduated from the U of U and now had a teaching position at the College. I remained in attendance there until 1915 at which time I had completed my junior year.

1915-1916 I taught school at Oneida Stake Academy. I decided then to go back to school and get my A B degree. MV parents having moved to Provo, desired me to come home and attend the B.Y.U. This I was very happy to do as I had been away from home for several years. 1917 in June I completed my work for the B A degree.

While at the "Y" I met Raymond Leo Knight. We graduated at the same time and were married 7 June 1917 in the Salt Lake Temple. Two children were born to us, a son Raymond Lynn and a daughter, Laurel Louise. Ray taught school at the Fielding Academy for 2 years. The next year he took some classes and taught part time at the B.Y.U. The next 2 years both of us taught at the Wasatch High School at Heber, Utah.

In 1922 we decided to go to California so that my husband could study dentistry. I attended school at the University of California at Los Angeles and completed requirements for my California Teachers Certificate.

Then we moved to Berkeley, California for my husband to attend the University of California.

We built a home in Berkeley but were members of the San Francisco Stake. The Oakland Stake was soon organized and we became the Berkeley Branch of the Oakland Stake and later the Berkeley Ward. I held a number of positions in the Berkeley Ward. I taught classes in Mutual, Sunday School and Relief Societies. Later I became president of the YLMIA, president of the Relief Society and later counselor of the Oakland Stake YLMIA.

In Oct 1946 the Berkeley Stake was organized. I had just been released as the Welfare Counselor in the Berkeley Ward Relief Society. At that time I was called to be President of the new Berkeley Stake Relief Society. It was a great task to organize and set up a board for the new stake, but it was a wonderful work and I greatly enjoyed doing it.

My doctor recommended that I take a year's rest from any great responsibility. I was released in Nov. 1948 but carried the work through till Jan 1, 1949.

I have been active in P.T.A., Red Cross and other civic activities in Berkeley. Have been a member of the "Dames Club of the University of California and an now a member of the Berkeley Women's City Club.

She died 24 Feb 1951.

Their two children grew up and were educated in the Cal. schools. Laurel Knight Fullmer attended the University of Cal. Nursing School and graduated with honors in May 1943 and in July passed the State Board Nurses examination. She and Oliver Fullmer have 4 sons.

R. Lynn Knight graduated from the George Washington Medical School and received his commission in the Armed Services Nov. 17, 1944.
