1870. For the last thirty years they have lived in Johnson City.
Mrs. Kite, who was Miss Sallie A. Doak, was a granddaughter of Rev. Samuel A. Doak. D. D., whose name is eminent in the religious and educational annals of Tennessee. Washington College and Tusculum College are both monuments of his pioneer and constructive zeal, and his works still follow him in the sterling, spiritual qualities of the people of this section. Mrs. Kite was true, in her life and character, to this fine strain in her blood.
She was converted at the age of thirteen, and was ever afterward a faithful and diligent member of the Presbyterian church. Her unselfish and intelligent fidelity and her fervent prayers were a source of encouragement and power to the people of God among whom her lot was cast. She is deeply mourned by a large number of devoted friends. She is survived by four sisters and two brothers.
Her patience in long and painful illness, and the confidence with which she awaited her end, were born of deep and well-grounded convictions in a heart that knew and loved Him to whom she had committed her all.
