D. W. King was born Aug. 31, 1830, in Herkimer Co., N. Y. In the fall of 1854 he moved to Polk Co., Iowa, and the following spring came to Kossuth county, when he bought the claim on which he has since lived, paying a man by the name of Yetchel $100 for a quarter section of section 13, township 95, range 29. He now owns 490 acres of land in a high state of cultivation, raising grain, and dealing in all kinds of stock except sheep. He was married in December, 1859, to Lydia Hall, born in New York. They have eight children—William Hall, Belle, Grant, David P., Lydia May, Arthur A., Walter S., and Fred M. Mrs. King and Belle are members of the Congregational Church. Mr. King has held the offices of township clerk and county supervisor. In politics he is a republican.
