AGED PIONEER PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Elizabeth King, nee Ruff, died at the W. C. Johnson home on Sunday, Sept. 
26. She was born in Madison county, Tenn., July 18, 1831, so had attained an 
age of a little more than 89 years. In 1841 the family moved into Mississippi 
where Elizabeth grew to womanhood. In 1854 she was married to S. W. King. Four 
children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. The King family came 
to Idaho in 1869 and settled where Emmett now stands.

Those were days of real pioneering and many were the privations and hardships 
endured. In it all she bore her part bravely and did her duty well. In 1907 
Mr. King died. Since then she has lived with her children and been mother and 
grandmother to all the children in the neighborhood. The survivors are Mrs. W. 
C. Johnson and Mrs. John Applegate. 

Funeral services were conducted at the Johnson home on Tuesday, Sept. 28, and 
the body laid to rest beside her husband in Payette cemetery.
