From Story County Watchman January 29, 1897

Mrs. I. L. Smith was called upon to mourn the loss of her father, John R. King, Tuesday, who was making his home with her for a number of years past, at the advanced age of 79 years, 3 months and 18 days. He had been an invalid for years and was little known to our people, though a resident here. He was born in Somerset county, Pa., and came to this county in 1884, since which time he has resided in Ames and Nevada. All extend to the stricken ones their sympathy in this hour of need.
