Lake Odessa Times - August 3, 1906
          FLOUN DEAD IN BED.

   Mrs. Charity King was found dead in bed at the home of her son, Allen King, in
Woodland township Sunday 
morning, old age and heart trouble being the cause of death.  She retired Saturday
night as usual and death 
came quietly, none of the family having heard Mrs. King make any call or noise.

   Deceased had been a resident of Woodland for over forty years with the exception
of a couple of years 
when she lived with her daughter, Mrs.John Gerkey of this place.  She was about 84
years of age and was 
born in Virginia and when 19 years of age was married to Basler King who died
twenty-two years ago.  She 
experienced religion when a girl of sixteen and has stood by the courage of her
conviction and her life has 
been such that she was prepared for the end.

   She leaves seven children -- John, Mrs. John Gerkey, Allen and Mrs. Ed.
Cunningham of this vicinity; Jacob 
King of Charlotte; Mrs. Huldah Warren and Mrs Nancy Whipple of Custer, Mich. Another
son, James, died last 
fall.

   The funeral was conducted at the M. E. church Tuesday, Rev. W. H. Skentelbury of
Watervliet officiating.  
Interment was made in the family lot in Lakeside cemetery.
