He was an early settler in Plymouth County coming here after the Civil War and taking up land on the wild prairie in the west part of the county. Mr. King was widely known in the community.

He enlisted for service when the Civil War broke out and was a member of Company C, Eighth Illinois Cavalry. He served throughout the war and received an honorable discharge. He was united in marriage with Olive Anne Heaton, who survives him, at Morrison, Ill., in 1870. They came to Plymouth County in the Spring of 1871 and this has been the family home since.

ACCORDED MILITARY FUNERAL Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon and veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War and members of the W.R.C. attended the services and accorded military honors to the departed soldier. The ritual of the G.A.R. was conducted by John C. Ruble, A.W. Crouch, and Rev. F.E. Burgess at the Beely undertaking parlors in this city. The funeral cortege was accompanied to Adaville by a military escort where services were held in the Church of the Brethren conducted by Rev. S.M. Zike, of Moville, a former pastor of the Adaville church, and Rev. N.A. Hollingshead, the pastor. The pallbearers were Spanish-American war veterans and members of the American Legion, J.C. Johnson, Dr. C.L. Nevins, R.M. Neubrand, Russell Bowers, Clay Butler, and Glen Earnest. The casket was draped with the flag for which he fought in his youth. A saluting party fired a volley over his grave and bugle notes echoing through the peaceful valley where the departed man spent the heydey of his young manhood marked the passing of another who volunteered for service when the call for arms was sounded to maintain the Union.
