General Notes: Husband - George King


He was born in Kittanning township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, on what was known as the Stacy Thomas farm, on a plot of land later owned by John Lease. He attended the subscription schools of his day and had a very good common education. For a number of years he taught school in Kittanning township, and was esteemed one of the best teachers of his time. He was exceptionally strong in mathematics, was a prolific reader, and was quite at home in the use of the German language and also Pennsylvania Dutch, as well as the English, being able to read and converse in the German. Some time after his marriage he embarked in the mercantile business, but was not inclined to follow this line and soon after abandoned it, engaged in farming, which he continued the remainder of his life. He owned a farm of 207 acres about a mile southwest of Brick Church (St. Michael's) in Burrell township, where he lived for more than forty years and on which he died. A part of the farm on which the dwelling house was located, was later owned by Thomas Lemon. He was a great reader, was active in political affairs, was a Democrat all his life, filled many township offices, and was once candidate for county commissioner. He was always an active, devoted churchman. Like his father he was a lover of books and had quite an extensive library. His hospitality was known to all, and many of the prominent men of the county were accustomed to visit him and were always welcomed and provided with the best that a country home could afford.
