Elizabeth Ellen KnightsBorn 30 Jan 1911 at Jamaica, Windham County, Vermont, United States, died 22 Oct 2001 at Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts, United States, age 90 years, buried 23 Oct 2001 at Lyndon Center Cemetery, Lyndon, Caledonia County, Vermont, United States. Occupation: Housewife Always remembered her as very quiet and reserved - which only increased as she got older. Near the end of her life, was forced to move out of the duplex on 1 Linden Drive (Danvers, MA), when the building was sold. She was living their when mom and dad got married, while grandpa was still alive - almost 30 years before. Mom always said her parents never owned their home - always rented. I thought she never really recovered from that. She never had a drivers licence, but the Linden Dr place was across the street from the mall and shopping - so she didn't need one to live independently. Always seemed very fit from all the walking she did, prior to the move. All that disappeared when she had to move - perhaps hastening her physical decline. 1 Linden Dr, Danvers, MA, 01923-3516 Death of Elizabeth Ellen Knight The Brattleboro Reformer Brattleboro, Vermont 24 October 2001 (Wednesday) Elizabeth Conner Danvers, Mass. – Elizabeth (Knights) Conner, 90, formerly of Sylvan Street, Danvers, wife of the late Wendell B.
