MCCOMB & SONS FUNERAL HOMES: JUDGE KENNETH A. KING, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2016, at rest in Fort Wayne where he resided for the last several years. He would have been 104 on March 7, 2016. Born in Somerset, Ind., he lived most of his life in Rome City, Ind. He was a member of Elks, Mason (Past Master) Scottish Rite and Mizpah Shrine. He loved to hunt and fish and was known to play a little golf from time to time. He attributed his longevity to his daily walking and was known to walk from his office in Kendallville to his home in Rome City in his eighties on many occasions. He was an ardent fan of IU sports. He was proud to say he was the first non-Greek to be elected to the Student Union at the IU campus in Bloomington and was one of if not the oldest "Board of Control of the Indiana Union" (1934 - 1935) members still living. His picture on the wall in the Student Union Board Room always brought back memories, stories, and a little tear whenever he returned to visit. He started school with $200 of watermelon sales profits in his pocket and ended up with a College Education and Law Degree. Judge King was judge of the Noble County Circuit Court from 1950 to 1962. Many people may not realize that the state legislature ordered the Circuit Court Judges to consolidate the high schools in the different counties in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Judge King appointed a Committee that drew up the lines in Noble county for the current School Districts. He then appointed the first School Board Members for East Noble, Central Noble, and West Noble. This was a very controversial and emotional time in Noble County. The school consolidation was so contentious that it caused him to lose his reelection in 1962. However, it was the best thing to happen to him professionally and he was proud of his involvement in helping to improve the Schools in Noble County no matter the cost and emotions involved.
