The following is from a newspaper clipping (name unknown):
"Those Who Come and Go.
Tales of Folk at the Hotels.
A real old-timer in the Pacific Northwest is C.B. King, who is at the Imperial for a few days. He doesn't look like an old-timer, this quiet, dignified businessman, but he has all sorts of memories of the days 'when the northwest was young.' It was in 1880 that he first went to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and he remained there 26 years, taking many trips into the state of Washington in the meantime. 'Why, I can remember when all there was in Spokane was a little store and sawmill,' he mused yesterday. 'I was a post trader for the government when Coeur d'Alene was a government post. We used to buy some of our goods in Portland and the rest in Washington. I've watched the towns in this part of the country grow into real, live cities. It does me good to see things going so well here. My home's in Los Angeles now and I've been there for 14 years and part of that time in Arizona. I'm really just a roamer now.'"
The following is from an unknown Newspaper:
"CLEMENT B. KING DIES ON COAST.
Spokane Pioneer Was Trail Blazer in Northwest.
Clement B. King, one of the early and real pioneers of Spokane, who helped to blaze the trail for the wonderful development to follow, died Thursday night at his home in Alhambra, Cal. Mr. King, known to his pioneer friends as 'Clem,' was associated with the late James Monaghan, J.N. Glover and D.M. Drumheller in business enterprises in and about Spokane Falls. News of Mr. King's death was received by A.A. Newberry.
He came to Washington territory about 1868, and later located at Colfax, where he was associated with Mr. Monaghan in operating the stage line from Colfax to Spokane Falls and to Colville.
Mr. King was one of the original incorporators of the Spokane Falls & Northern railroad, and with Mr. Monaghan did some contract work during the construction. He located in Spokane in the early '80s and was always interested in public affairs of the little city.
He was also associated with Monaghan, who was post trader in 1882, and had a store at Fort Sherman on Lake Coeur d'Alene. In 1883, following the discovery of the mines, he, with others, put the first steamers on the lake, and also laid out the city of Coeur d'Alene. A year later he was interested in building the first wagon road from Kingston to Murray mining camp. He also was one of the original surveyors for an electric road from Spokane to Coeur d'Alene. At one time he resided at Hayden lake, where he had live stock interests.
Mr. King went to Phoenix, Ariz., about 20 years ago and was engaged in land operations for a short time and then moved to California. He is survived by a son, Homer B. King, and a daughter, Mrs. Jennie Goodrich, both of Los Angeles."
