Mr. Will KING of this place, was much grieved to hear of the death of his father, which occurred Wednesday, Aug. 28, at Clear Lake, Iowa. Mr. KING made his home here for fourteen years, but during the last years was living with another son, Warren KING, in Clear Lake. The remains were brought to Crystal Lake by his three sons and services were held in the M.E. church, of which he was a member. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved.

NOTE: John KING was born in Saratoga, New York, June 7, 1837. He was married to Lucy Ann RANDALL. He resided for a time in Mt. Vernon Township, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. He was interred at Crystal Lake.

JOHN KING DEAD.

This community was badly shocked when word was received that Mr. KING, who lives with his son, Warren, on the S. L. CARPENTER farm, had dropped dead while walking around in the yard. Mr. KING has been failing for the past two or three weeks, and heart trouble is assigned as the cause of his sudden demise. He was a man 74 years of age. A son living in California and another at Crystal Lake, have been notified and are expected to arrive at once. Before going to press we are unable to learn the funeral arrangements.
