General Notes: Husband - John King


His parents were members of the Episcopal Church, and he, too, was confirmed in that communion before leaving home to enter upon the severe conflicts of life. This occurred at a comparatively early age. His first employment away from the paternal roof was that of a clerk for an iron firm at Antietam, Maryland. Thence he went to Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, where he was associated with a firm in the same business, first as a manager and afterward as a regular partner. In this business, his industry, economy and integrity enabled him to acquire a large estate. He was also a merchant, but for just a short time and that only for the purpose of enabling a friend to become thoroughly started in the business. For many years he was president of the Chambersburg bank. [HFC 1887, 657]

He began his business life as a clerk for an iron works at Antietam, Maryland, and later was manager of Mt. Pleasant Furnace, at the foot of Path Valley. He became a member of the firm of Dunn & King, the senior partner being his brother-in-law, Gen. Samuel Dunn. He afterward came to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in business as a merchant, and was for many years president of the Bank of Chambersburg. He was closely identified with the business, literary, religious and charitable interests of the town. He was a ruling elder of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church.
