Belding Banner-News, 20 Jul 1944

William R. King, aged 74 years and a long time and well known former resident of
the community northeast of this city, passed away Sunday at the Muston
Convalescent home on Ionia street.  Mr. King had been in poor health for a long
time and following the sale of his farm some time ago, had been a resident of
this city, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Elmer Heether, on S. Alderman
street.

Mr. King was born at Blue Island, Ill., and in his early life was for 20 years a
brakeman in the employ of the Rock Island railroad.  Coming to this community
more than 30 years ago he took up farming and was engaged in that occupation
until failing health made the disposal and sale of his farm necessary.  He then
came to reside at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Heether, in this city, and some
time ago went to the Muston home where he could receive the constant care needed.

Surviving are, in addition to the daughter, a son, George King, of W. May
street, this city; a brother, Louis King of Detroit; a sister, Mrs. Adolph
Draper of Troy Grove, Ill., and four grandchildren.

Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock, from the Ellis
funeral home, with Rev. H.S. Ellis officiating and burial was in Otisco
cemetery.  Pallbearers at the funeral were: Lee Luscombe, Richard Dietz, Norman
Lee, Ben Donovan, Don Fisk and Michael Connolly
