MRS. VIRGINIA KING CLAIMED BY DEATH—Popular and Beloved Brunswickian Dies 
Yesterday After Long Illness

Mrs. Virginia Diemmer King, 35, popular and beloved Brunswick resident, died 
at her home at 1128 Norwich street late Thursday afternoon following an 
illness of ten weeks duration and her passing today is being mourned by her 
countless friends and admirers in this community.

Mrs. King is a former resident of Wilmington, N.C., before removing to 
Brunswick several years ago, was one of Brunswick’s most charming young 
women.  Possessing a beautiful soprano voice and exceptionally talented in 
music, Mrs. King made scores of appearances in concert and on programs in 
Brunswick, having sung several times over radio stations at Savannah and 
Jacksonville.

She became ill several weeks ago and was confined to her home a short time 
before her condition became serious.  During the past ten days she fought a 
futile battle against death and her passing yesterday afternoon cast a spell
