The Schley County News  Thurs., Sept. 20, 1905
DEATH OF MRS. J.C. KING

Our community was shocked and grieved Tuesday
afternoon when announcement was made of the sudden
death of Mrs. Katie Walker King, wife of J.C. King,
one of our highly esteemed citizens.  Just when life
held so much hope and promise, the passing away of
this young wife and mother was indeed a mysterious
dispensation of Providence and only the eye of faith
can see the rainbow that spares the dark cloud of
bereavement hanging over this home.  Mrs. King was
born and reared in Schley county and many friends
are saddened by her death. Four children are bereft
of a mother's love just at the age when they so much
need her tender care.  Mrs. King was a member of the
Methodist church and her funeral was conducted by
her pastor Rev W.K. Dennis at the family burial
ground near Ellaville Wednesday afternoon, a large
assembly of friends witnessing the last sad rites.
The casket in which rested mother and child was
almost covered with exquisite flowers.  To the sadly
bereaved family the News joins many others in
extending sincere sympathy.


Additional Comments:
The cemetery marker for Mrs. records Sept. 19th as her date of death.  Of 
interest here would be child who was buried with her.  As there is no mention 
of the child's death, one must wonder if the death occurred during childbirth.
