Though he had been ill for some time with Bright's disease, the end came very suddenly. Rev. Mr. King was 62 years old and was born in Potsdam. He lived many years in Ilion, owner and editor of the Ilion Citizen, until he sold this establishment about a year ago. Mr. King was a man of substantial attainment intellectually, a constant student of the world's affairs. He was exemplary in his good judgment, courage and devotion to whatever work or principle he valued. Besides his wife he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Beal Banks of Knoxville, Tenn., Mrs. Howell Crim of Richfield Springs and Mrs. Alfred Stacey of New Jersey."
