Scope and content
Interiors of the home of Perry F. Knight in Lakewood. This appears to be the home office of either Mr. or Mrs. Knight. From the height of the window, it is possibly in the basement. A commercial style ashtray sits between the two chairs. A hat rack stands beside the couch and an oriental rug lies in front of it. Framed photos of three young men in uniform sit on top of the desk. The uniformed young men have been identified as Mr. Knight's son Robert and his two nephews, William Knight and Roy Knight, Jr. All three were in the Army Air Corp/Force. Roy Knight, Jr. was killed in August of 1942 over Guadalcanal and Robert Knight died in August of 1945 in a mid-air collision over Texas. The photograph to the far left is believed to be of William Knight with Robert Knight and Roy Knight, Jr. next in line. (Additional information provided by a reader)
