      Fannie Heiser King-King. --- Fannie, daughter of Jacob and Catherine (Wagler) Heiser, was born in Tazewell Co., near Morton, Ill. April 6, 1866; passed away her home in Fisher, Ill, Jan. 12, 1950; aged 83 y. 9 m. 6. On Dec. 19, 1893, she was married to Joseph King, who survives. Also surviving are 5 children (Clarence, Pontiac, Mich.; Elmer, Goshen, Ind.; Mrs. Ervin Litwiler, Hopedale, Ill.; Ralph, Chicago, Ill.; and Ora, Fisher, Ill.), 21 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers (Isaac, Fisher, Ill.; Samuel and Daniel, Morton, Ill.), and a number of other relatives and friends. Three grandchildren, 4 brothers, and 5 sisters preceded her in death. Early in her life she accepted Christ as her Saviour and was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church throughout her life. Although she had attended school only two week of her life, she learned to read and write both the English and German languages and served as an efficient Sunday-school teacher for a great many years. She was one of the pioneers i n the sewing circle work at the East Bend Church, and was a faithful wife and loving mother, who considered no sacrifice too great for her family or a friend in need. Funeral services were held Jan. 15 at the East Bend Church, with Harold Zehr giving the message assisted by J. A. Heiser. Interment was made in the East Bend Cemetery. [4]
