Everett Daily Herald
5-8-1925OBITUARY OF KING IS READ AT FINAL RITES
At the funeral services for John R. KING, G.A.R. veteran who died at his home near Snohomish May 6 at the age of 88 years, Friday aftrnoon, D.F. Sexton, adjutant of O.B. Morton post No. 10 G.A. R., read the following obituary, entitled "The Passing of a Comrade."John R. KING was born near Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana, March 4, 1837. At the time Indiana as a state was in its infancy and but sparsely settled. At the age of nineteen he, with his father's family, migrated to Wisconsin which was this time comparatively a wilderness country. Remaining in Wisconsin for a short time he changed his location to Winona, Minn., where at the age of 21 in the year 1858, the year in which Minnesota was admitted as a state, he married Miss Carrie KNOWLES of Winona. To this union there were born six children, four of whom are living, Charles E. of Snohomish, Mrs. Nettie RUSSELL of California, Chancy A. of Snohomish and Mrs. Katherine SIMMONS of Seattle.
On July 23, 1862, impelled by a spirit of loyalty and duty to his country, he entered its service for the preservation of the union, enlisting in the Sixth Minnesota Volunteer infantry for a term of three years or during the war but his constitution not being robust enough to endure the privation, exposures and hardships of active army life, he was discharged from service for physical disability before the expiration of the full time of enlistment. After his first wife was taken from him by death, he was joined in marriage to Miss Elizabeth MILNER December 4, 1877, in Lyon county, Minnesota, to whom were born two children, Myrtle, now Mrs. NEIMEYER of Kenmore, Wash., and Louis M. KING of Everett.
This Mrs. KING departed this life at their home ten years ago. In addition to the children enumerated there also survived near relatives of Comrade KING, sixteen grandchildren, ten great grand children and one sister, Mrs. HANLEY of Minnesota. By the death of this comrade of the Civil war not only a patriot as a soldier but a patriot as a citizen has passed from life's conflicts, for he ever stood for law and order, ready to defend the principals of justice and right. He was not one of your neutral kind; you could always know where to find him when questions of morality and good citizenship were involved. He was a devoted member of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Snohomish. Although his life was mostly spent on the frontiers, where his opportunities for a acquiring an education when young were very limited, by thoughtful observation and reading he became possessed of a liberal fund of information.
Thirty-six years ago, in the year 1889, he moved to what then Washington territory, and located near Snohomish where by perseverance and taxing his strength to the utmost, he converted a portion of the wilderness into a comfortable and pleasant home, where he lived, enjoying the respect and kind and affectionate regards of his neighbors and numerous friends until called by death. He became a member of Morton post No. 10, G.A.R., June 25, 1892, and during the time since, he served efficiently and acceptable as post commander. He was ever and always a true comrade. By the passing of this, another comrade of the Civil war, we are admonished that the reaper is at work gathering in the remnant of those who responded to their country's call that the Star Spangled Banner, the emblem of liberty, might continue to float as of yore over a unnited country.
