PHILIP KING.—The gentleman whose name appears at the opening of this sketch has
been a resident of California since 1870, when he came to this State from Bates
county, Missouri. He is a native of York county, Pennsylvania, where he was
born, November 21, 1812. He is a miller and during his earlier manhood pursued
that calling.

  July 24, 1833, he married Miss Hannah Lovelers, a native of Monmouth county,
New Jersey, born March 21, 1813, at Medina, Ohio. Her father, Thomas Lovelers,
was a farmer by occupation and was born in Marion county, New Jersey, where he
married Sarah Sproles, who bore him eight sons and two daughters, and of these
ten children, Mrs. King is the oldest, the other members of her family being:
Aaron, William, Joseph, Thomas, George, John, Firman, Erskine and Elizabeth.

  The father of Mr. Philip King, George King, was born in Pennsylvania, of
German parents. Of his ten children, Philip was the third. Upon coming to
California, Mr. Philip King located in the Salinas valley, where he resided a
short time, then lived in Santa Cruz county for five years, whereupon he
returned to Salinas, where he still resides. In 1877 Mr. and Mrs. King went to
live with a son, where they now are, in Salinas. Mr. and Mrs. King have two sons
and two daughters, namely: William, a thrifty farmer and esteemed citizen of
Salinas; Sarah, now Mrs. John Sexton, of Salinas; Mary E., now Mrs. A. J.
Chaney, of Hollister; and Luther, of Hanford, Tulare county, California; seven
children are deceased. Mr. King and his wife are devoted members of the
Methodist Church of Salinas and are highly respected by all who know them for
their sterling traits of character and personal worth.

  William King, above mentioned as the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. King, was born
March 11, 1855, in Licking county, Ohio. In 1879 he married Miss Mary E.,
daughter of R. W. Carr, but after a few brief months of happy married life she
passed away, October 2, 1879. He owns fifty acres of the best land in the
Salinas valley, upon which he has erected a fine residence and commodious
out-buildings.

  Both Philip and William King are representative citizens of the Salinas valley
and enjoy the respect and esteem of all who know them.
