GOOD old LADY GONE
Mrs. q. w. King Passed Away at the
Home of 1er Son Charles on
Sunday Morning Last.
She Was a kindly, Christian Woman
!. and She Will Be Mourned by
Multitude of Friends.

MIS-. u. w. King died on Sunday
morning at the home of her son,
Charles, who resides in north Prince
ton, aged 70 years. A few hours be-
fore death the venerable old lady was
taken sick, but as for a long time she
had been subject top attacks of this
sort but little import was attached to
it.. Her son, Charles, who was with
her at the time she complained of feel
ing unwell, Ill O'Clock Saturday
evening, retired to rest and at 3
O'Clock on Sunday morning returned
to her bedside. She then appeared to
be as we'll as ordinarily and he again
retired to his room. At about $50 on
Sunday morning, when the family
arose, Mrs. Chas. King called upon
her aged mother-in-law and found her
quietly sleeping. A little later
she again visited her and then found
that the good old lady was sleeping
the sleep that knows no waking. Thus
had passed from earth the spirit of
one of the kindliest and most charit-
able women that ever lived. Her life
had been noble one, and when we
quote the Savior, The first shall be
last and the last frst," we emphasize
her entire career, for she was the
happiest when she could be last in her
endeavor to do good TO others. Her
Immediate acqauintances will miss
her and ever revere her name because
of this particular feature. Truly she
was a womanly woman.
She is survived by five children and
number of grand and great grand
children. The sons and daughters are
all living in Princeton, namely, AL
bert King, Oswald King, Charles
King, Mrs. Silas Howard and Mrs.
VIM. Nicely. Three daughters and
one son are dead.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home of Charles King and at the
Methodist church by Rev. J. W. Heard
on Tuesday afternoon, and the in
terment took place in Oak Knoll ceme-
trey. A large number of relatives
and friends attended and followed the
remains to the grave.
Mrs. B. Young, a daughter of AL
bert King, together with her husband,
came from Minneapolis to attend the
funeral, as did also Mrs. Cooper,
daughter of Mrs. Silas Howard. Os-
valid Kings two sons, Clare and
Clyde, were also here from the north.
Mrs. G. W. King was born in Can
ada on May Is, 1928, her maiden
name having been Susan Wilcox. She
went with her parents to Ohio when at
the age of eleven years and was mar
ried to George W. King at the, home
of her parents in Massillon, Ohio, on
December %, 1914. In 1848 she with
heb husband and children moved to
Hebron, Indiana. In 1852 she became
a member of the Methodist church at
Hebron, and when, in 1868 the family
located in Princeton she transferred
her membership here. In 1878 the
family moved to Wyanett, where on
July q, 1903, Mr.. G.. w. King died.
With her son, Charles and family, she
returned to Princeton to live about
two months ago.

The story that Mrs. B. E. Smith of

/ complete recovery of her niece from

IRENE weakness and nervousness only
| goes to prove the wonderful power that

over all nervous affections. So COM

need only quote her own words This
lady says: My niece, young lady of
! Y years of age, was in a deplorable
condition from nervous exhaustion. the
result of hard general work Her
general makeup was of the high strung
nervous kird-the appetite was poor.
The head ached constantly-no rest at
IniSht-the heart action was very weak
the slightest exertion bringing on pain
about the heart and paipitation. She
grew very weak and lost weight rapid

tand procured some, and / am pleased
TIC say they acted finely-she soon rest
ed easily at night-the headaches stop

between so and 60; the proper care of

too strongly urged; carelessness thea
