Read More	David Efford King was born on December 25, 1874 in Griswoldville, Massachusetts to David Hawks King (1849-1936) and Isabel Florence (Holdridge) King. David was the oldest of six children born to the couple. David married the love of his life, Elizabeth Mooney, on April 30, 1898 in New York City, New York. The couple had four children: David John King (1899-1977), Frances Marie (King) O'Brien (~1902 - 1937), Joseph Vincent King (1913-1985), and Ruth Isabel King. The family story of how David met his wife goes like this: "David delivered bread in New York City using a horse and wagon. At many of the nicer homes he would send the bread up to the kitchen using a dumbwaiter. David's future wife, Elizabeth "Bess" Mooney, worked in the kitchen at one of the homes he delivered to and her older brother worked as a butler. David noticed the very pretty Bess on his daily deliveries and asked her brother if he could see her. With her older brother's blessing, one day instead of putting the bread in the dumbwaiter, he rode up and asked Bess on a date. " In about 1895, then New York City Police Commissioner (NYPD), Theodore Roosevelt, gave David an appointment as a New York City police officer. This was a great honor because Roosevelt appointed men based on their physical and mental qualifications and not on political affiliation. His badge number was 4630 and he worked in the 26th precinct, which is located in upper Manhattan. David's love for his job is demonstrated by the fact that he played the cornet in the New York City Police Band in his off time. After serving close to 27 years with the NYPD, David retired as a district sergeant in 1922 and moved back to Massachusetts. His police pension entitled him to $113 a month. He died on June 30, 1948 in Colrain, Massachusetts.
