King, -- Aaron, one of a family of twelve, was born to Abraham and Mattie (Yoder) King, on Nov. 17, 1877, near Bellefontaine, Ohio; departed this life Nov. 12, 1951, at Phoenix, Ariz.; aged 73 y. 11 m. 24 d. His first marital union entered on Oct. 16, 1902, with Barbara Smucker was a short duration, for Barbara was called in death Oct. 17, 1907. One son (Boyd) born to this union, predeceased him June 28, 1946. On Dec. 17, 1908, he was united in marriage to Anna Zook, who survives him, together with 2 daughters (Martha and Mary Kathryn), a daughter-in-law (Mrs. Sadie King), and 4 grandchildren. one sister (Mrs. Lydia Kauffman, Garden City, Mo.), and 3 brothers (Irvin, Malvern, Pa.; Abe, Harrisonburg, Va.; and Nelson, Fairpoint, Ohio) also survive. In his youth life began taking on new meaning when he accepted Christ as his Saviour. To him life was a serious responsibility to be lived conscientiously according to eternal principles. Years and increased physical limitation only served to increase his devotion to God and His Word. Most of his life was spent in Logan Co., Ohio, but in August, 1950, he and his family took up temporary residence in Sunnyslope, Phoenix, Ariz. He deeply appreciated friends and fellowship there but was anticipating going home; this anticipation was fulfilled in a different way than was expected. Funeral services were held at the South Union Mennonite Church, West Liberty, Ohio, Nov. 17, in charge of Stanley Shenk and Nelson Kanagy. Interment was made in the South Union Cemetery.
