Read More	Mrs. Jane King 56 widow of Dr. Dean king of Spencer and longtime resident of the West Okoboji area during the summer months was found dead in her garage adjoining her home Tuesday morning. Mrs. King when she was found had a bundle of clothes in her arm and a bruise on her head and the motor of her car was still running in the garage. It had been running long enough that the fumes penetrated into the kitchen where it killed the family dog. Mrs King's body was found by her cousin Mrs Richard Folsom. Her husband Dr. King had been killed in a automobile accident south of Milford the previous June . Mrs. King was named President of the board of directors of Longhouse Residence and she held that position until her death. She is survived by her sons Jack and Don King both of Spencer. Services were held at 3 p.m. Thursday April 10th, 1964 at the First Congregational Church in Spencer. In the early sixties, Longhouse founder Dr. Dean H. King, needed to find a nursing facility for his father and discovered the closest facility was in Sioux City, Iowa. As a result, Dr. King began to plan and design a nursing home to serve the needs of the Spencer area. Following a year in the planning phase, construction finally began in October of 1962. It was during a trip to Hawaii where Dr. King first learned of the native Hawaiian’s customary practice of constructing a central lodge in each village where community members could go for their medical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. It was known as the Longhouse. July 22, 1963, Longhouse Residence opened its doors and began delivering quality long-term care services to the area residents. Dr. King was killed in an auto accident one month before the home opened and so his wife Jane King took over management until her death in April 1964. Nearly a year later in March 1965, eight local investors purchased the facility and were interested in seeing Longhouse continue to grow and serve the community.
