George Knowling was "a native of Devon, was a prosperous St John's merchant and a member of the Legislative Council from 1897 to 1923. Both he and his wife, also from Devon, were early supporters of women's suffrage." See the cited web site.

The community suffered the loss of one of its oldest and most prominent business men when shortly after eleven o'clock this morning, the Hon. George Knowling passed peacefully into the Great Beyond. During the past two years, owing to his great age, Mr. Knowling was, for the most part, confined to his house, but such was his interest in his life's work, that he was always kept in close touch with the welfare of the firm and even managed occasionally to pay a short visit to his office. Recently, however, it was known that his strength was failing quickly, and when the end came, it was not unexpected. Born in Exeter, on the 15th of September 1839, he was educated at Marlborough House School in that city. At the age of eighteen he came out to Newfoundland and entered the business firm of his uncle, the late Philip Hutchins, as a buyer. On the death of Mr. Hutchins, he succeeded to the business in 1886, and by his great ability and application, built up a great firm that bears his name to-day. In 1897 he was made a member of the Legislative Council.
He was married to Miss Elizabeth Upham of Silverton, Devon, who survives him. He leaves besides to mourn three sons: Philip, George and William, who are all engaged in the firm; and four daughters: Mrs. Lindberg, Mrs. Hector McNeil, Mrs. W. H. Franklin and Mrs. James Urquhart.
The late George Knowling was a man who was not only the head of a firm that has done much to establish the commercial life of the city on a firm foundation, but he was a strong pillar of the Church of England as well. Until his illness it was seldom that he was absent from his place in St. Thomas's Church, and he was ever ready to assist in the various philanthropic and social movements in the country. General sympathy, in which the Telegram joins, is extended to those who have been bereaved by his demise. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon, from his late residence "Thornlea."
