Caroline Knox lived in New Castle, Pa., where she raised nine children. Two of her sons, Lewis and William Knox, established the Caroline Knox Memorial Fund in 1958 which benefits vulnerable elderly and the children and youth of Lawrence County. In their wills, the brothers specified that the fund’s distribution committee should always include Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal church leaders, as well as a member of the business community. With this diversity of experience and non-denominational perspectives, the fund has been able to assist organizations serving vulnerable elderly as well as children and youth throughout Lawrence County.
