What information do you have on this family so far?  Depending on the time frame of his arrival in the US, you may be able to find him on census records on www.familysearch.org, which also has some Ohio death records.

Look through here for possible obituaries.  It is a link from the Cleveland Public Library, their necrology file.

http://dxsrv4.cpl.org/WebZ/Authorize?sessionid=0&next=/html/obit.html&dbchoice=1:dbname=necr&bad=html/authofail.html&style=noframe

Thurza and Edward are listed

Thursa Knight's death certificate is on www.familysearch.org as is Edward Knight's.

There is a listing for Thomas Alfred Knight on www.familysearch.org:  North Carolina Deaths

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGSK-CJS

seems to have died in North Carolina, but was buried in Bedford, Cuyahoga, Ohio
