Author: Brant & Fuller (1893)
    FRANCIS R. KING, one of the leading and well-known inhabitants and merchants
of Leighton, Ala., and member of the mercantile firm of F. R. King & Co., was
born in Colbert county, Ala., October 30, 1859. A brief account of his parentage
may be found in connection with the memoir of Paul S. King, elsewhere in this
work. He was reared on the farm until he was fifteen years of age. His early
education was obtained at the common schools and he attended the university of
Alabama during the years 1875 and 1876. Leaving college, he entered his
brother's store at Leighton, as a clerk, and in 1880 became a member of the
present firm of F. R. King & Ca., succeeding his brother William. Mr. King was
married June 30, 1886, to Miss Imogene White, of Memphis, Tenn., by whom he has
had four children. Mr. King is a Knight of Honor, and as a citizen he is one of
the best and most reliable in the county. In politics he is a stanch democrat,
yet he is not an office-seeker, content to remain in the private station, which
is the post of honor.
