Mr. King was born in Fairfield county, Ohio October 16, 1840, where he grew to young manhood when he removed to Fulton county and settled in Newcastle township. Here for twenty-five years he followed the carpenters trade and ran his farm, and in 1892 removed to Rochester to assume the duties of County Sheriff, to which office he was elected by a large majority. Mr. King was again the choice of his party for the office but went down in the landslide of 1894, Frank DILLON succeeding him. He was married in 1863 to Susan A. FLOOD, in Ohio, who preceded her husband to the other world only last year. To this union were born Sarah F. [KING], who died in infancy; Francis A. [KING CLYMER], wife of Geo. N. CLYMER; Dr. Milo [KING], of this city; Dr. Lee [KING], of Williamsport; Albert H. [KING], a student of DePauw University; and Misses Jeanette, Estella and Emma [KING] who ministered to the comfort of their father in his last days. John King was a man of sterling character, loved by his friends and honored and respected by his opponents. Politically he was a democrat of the old school, and while he achieved a success in this party he was by no means a politician in the common acceptance of the term. He was above subterfuge and political trickery. He was an ideal father; with but a meager education such as the early days afforded, he believed in equipping his children for life's battle by giving them the advantages of the best schools. He was a staunch, loyal friend, always open and aboveboard, and this course earned for him a wide circle of friends, who are sincerely sorry at his demise. He was a member of the Masonic and Pythian orders, who will have charge of the funeral, which occurs at the house tomorrow at 3 p.m. Rev. O. A. HILL will conduct the services and interment will be made at the I.O.O.F. cemetery. [Oct 16, 1840 - April 1, 1904] ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Monday, April 4, 1904 Mrs. BEAL, of Columbus, and Mrs. GRAHAM, of Lanchester, Ohio, were here and attended the KING funeral Sunday. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Thursday, April 7, 1904 George KING was called to Rochester early Saturday morning by the death of his brother, John KING.
