At an early hour Tuesday morning, April 5, 1910, Alfred King passed away at the home of Joe Hall, following several months of feeble health and a few weeks of illness. Three weeks ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis but partially recovered within a few days he began again to decline until death claimed him for that other existence from whose bourn no traveler ever returns.
Alfred King was born in Clinton Co., KY, April 13, 1836, making him at death about 74 years of age. He moved from Kentucky to Marion County, Arkansas, then known as the West in 1856. From there he moved to Greene County, in this state, where he lived until he came to this vicinity in 1878. In 1859, he was married Nancy Wood and to them were born ten children. The six living children are: sons, Thomas, Charles, Walter, and Oren; daughters, Mrs. Mollie Morgan and Mrs. Bette Baker. Two children died in infancy, Mrs. Victoria Neeley and Mrs. Nellie Wilder, two daughters, are also deceased.
Alfred King was a citizen who enjoyed the confidence and highest esteem of the people of this community. For several years he was superintendent of the county farm and was in other ways interested in public affairs. He was agreeable, generous and a friend to everybody. Several days before his death he recognized the fact that his time was near and directed how he wished to be laid away and what he wished to be done with his property.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Ennes at the Horner Cemetery, Tuesday afternoon in connection with Masonic ceremonies of which order he had long been a member.
