General Notes: Husband - Herman A. King


He grew to manhood in Burrell township, Armstrong County, PA, and attended the common schools and the Freeport (PA) Academy. He began his mercantile career when a young man of twenty, starting in business on his own ac­count at Brick Church in 1872. He car­ried on his general store there for many years without inter­ruption, and also established another general store at Cochran Mills, in the same township, where he had, besides, a flour­ing mill. His son, Owen J., was in partner­ship with him, under the firm name of H. A. King & Son, and they did an extensive busi­ness, their patrons at both places coming from a wide radius. There were few general mer­chants in the county who had an equally large custom. On Aug. 4, 1890, he was appointed postmaster at Brick Church, and continued to fill that office for more than two decades.
