    FRANK R. KING, born at Leighton, Ala., October 30, 1857, is a son of
Hartwell P. and Mary Henderson (Smith) King.

    The senior Mr. King was born near Raleigh, N. C., in 1820. He entered the
army as a member of Captain Rand's Company, with which he served until the close
of the war. He had born to him eight children, viz.: Henry, Hartwell, Richard,
Duncan, Paul, William, Frank R. and Susie. The three first named died when quite
young.

    The grandfather of our subject, Hartwell King, was a native of North
Carolina. He reared a large family and died before the war. His widow died in
1871, at the extreme old age of 88 years.

    The subject of this sketch engaged in mercantile business with his brother
Paul, which business they are still conducting. This firm is one of the oldest
in Leighton, and has the largest trade of any of its kind in that section of the
country.

    Mr. King was married in June, 1876, to Imogene White, daughter of James
White, of Memphis, Tenn. The union has been blessed with one child, Walter. Mr.
King and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches,
respectively.
