SIX GENERATIONS OF FAMILY IN SERVICE   

Glenwood Opinion Tribune
November 12, 1942

The Shenandoah Sentinel recently carried the story of the enlistment of Hudson King of Merced, California.  The young man is a nephew of Mrs. Willard Gaston of Shenandoah and a grandson of Charles P.  King who was a captain in the Civil War and later served as postmaster of Glenwood during the Cleveland administration.  This lad is the sixth generation of Kings who have served in the U.S. regular army.  His father, Reuben King, who will be remembered here by the older residents, enlisted in the U.S. regulars in 1902 and served through until the close of World War I advancing to the rank of sergeant-major.
