- Obit:
King. - Samuel B., son of David H. and Barbara (Zook) King, was born June 30, 1861, near Bloomington, Ill. His early manhood was spent in Livingston Co., where, on March 5, 1885, occurred his marriage to Anna Smith. In August of that year they moved to Larned, Kans., where they took up the rigors and hardships of pioneer life. Ten years later the family moved to Harvey Co., Kans., which for 47 years has been their home.

Besides the many relatives and friends who will miss him, are his widow and the following children: Mrs. Emma Riser, Hesston, Kans.; Frank D., Chicago; Elmer R., Eureka, Ill.; Mrs. Grace Shellenberger, Wichita, Kans.; Alvin B., Hesston; Samuel M., Dhamtari, India; Chancy B., Camp Roberts, Calif.; and Mrs. Bessie Yoder, Kalona, Ia.; 23 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and 2 brothers (E. J. and B. J.) also survive. Ezra W., the oldest son, preceded him, also 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and 3 grandchildren. Earl Buckwalter, with the assistance of F. U. Moyer, D. D. Zook and Edwin Weaver (just returned from India), conducted the services at the house and the Pennsylvania Mennonite Church. We thank the Lord for answered prayer and comfort given. --The Family.
