The Naples Record
Naples, Ontario County, New York.
Friday, June 25, 1880
DIED, June 10, 1889, at his home in Naples, N. Y., John King, aged 75.
Mr. King was born in Florida, Orange Co., N. Y., in 1805. His parents were poor and from early youth he was compelled to labor. When quite young, he did errands for Dr. Seward, father of the late Wm. H. Seward, with whom he was quite intimate. About 1815, his parents moved to the then, so called, Lake Country, in Seneca Co. After a few years, Mr. King, then a boy of 15, came to Milo Center, in Yates Co. He learned the trade of chair making of a Mr. Strobridge and worked at that till he was 22 years old. He was married then to Miss Charlotte Wisner, by whom he had two daughters, Jane and Rebecca. Jane became the wife of Wm. Ohelman of this place, Rebecca married Hiram Arnold, of Iowa. Both of these daughters died before their father. Mr. King lost his wife after being married only five years. His business at that time was wagon-making, until in 1842 he came to Naples and settled in Garlinghouse on the same farm he occupied when he died. In 1845 he married Malinda Stephenson, by whom he had ten children, of whom nine were privileged to attend the funeral; one, Fanny, died five years ago. Mr. King went to his native place twice, after leaving it, to visit a sister and other relatives. The first time his mother and two daughters accompanied him, more than 40 years ago. The second time, in 1862, the writer went with him, and well remembers how very much he enjoyed the visit, and he often spoke of it in after years with great pleasure.
Mr. King was an upright citizen, a good neighbor, and a kind husband and father, and his presence is sadly missed from the home circle. We trust, however, that their loss will be his gain. His funeral, on Saturday, June 12, was largely attended, and his remains were buried in the Garlinghouse cemetery.
