Description	:	[From Wabash County History by Clarkson Weesner, pub. 1914, pp 588-589] GEORGE NORMAN KING, whose name and life were for years identified with public and private interests of Wabash, was born near Akron, Summit county, Ohio, December 20, 1833.

He was brought to Wabash county, Indiana, by his parents, Peter and Elizabeth (Byers) King, in 1841, the family settling one and one-half miles south of the city on a farm. In 1855, having grown up to agricultural pursuits and secured his education in the Wabash county district schools, he came to the city of Wabash, and, with Messrs. Bruner, Haas and King, engaged in the hardware business. This firm was succeeded by Bruner & King in 1858, and five years later by King & McNamee, which continued until 1876, when Mr. King retired from the firm and with J.W. Busick and Thomas McNamee organized the Wabash County Bank. He was the first vice-president of this concern, and continued to be connected therewith until the time of his death. Such, in outline, is a review of the career of a man who impressed his personality forcibly upon the community in which he lived and labored so long. Coming to Wabash a poor country youth with the sole assets of a determined spirit and a willingness to work, characteristics which were to be found in many of his fellow pioneers in the commercial world of Wabash county, his career was no rose-strewn path. Each step that he advanced meant the overcoming of obstacles, yet his make-up was such that he was able to cope with the fierce competition that marked the growth and development of this section, and to emerge triumphant from the struggle. Among his business associates he was known as a man in which could be placed the utmost confidence and who had all the essential qualities for leadership. He had a commendable faith in his own abilities, yet he was quick to recognize another's worth and to give credit where credit was due. No important movement calculated to further the advancement of the community was considered complete until it had secured his support and cooperation, and rare it was that he withheld his support from progressive measures of any kind. He was interested in public affairs, but only insofar as they affected the interests of his community, for he was never a politician. He was very fond of travel, and in 1874 made an extended trip to California, this being folowing, in 1878, by a four-month's tour of Europe. On February 6, 1897, when occurred his death, there closed a life which woven into the warp and woof of Wabash county's citizenship made its texture firmer, stronger and brighter. George N. King married Maria M. Maloney, a native of Dublin, Ireland. She came to Wabash county, Indiana as a child with her parents. Mr. King is survived by his widow and two children, Mrs. Nellie Snavelly and George Lincoln King, of Los Angeles, California.
