Ionia Daily Sentinel, 9 Mar 1909

Orlando F. King at First Not Thought in Serious Condition.

Orlando F. King, whose death occurred yesterday morning at five o’clock, from 
abscess on the brain, had been a resident of Ionia a little over three years, 
having come here in the fall of 1905, with his brother John, and entered the 
employ of the Ionia Wagon company, where he continued about two years.

Last summer he spent with the Pere Marquette painting crew, under the 
foremanship of J. R. Crispen, and after the season closed, entered Kling’s 
barber whop, with the intention of learning the trade.  Last Wednesday, feeling 
too ill to work, he returned to his room at Mrs. Templeton’s, and that night 
Dr. More was called; but the case not seeming serious, no further medical 
attendance was thought necessary, until Saturday night, when his left side was 
found to be paralyzed.  Dr. Ogden was hastily summoned who later called Dr. 
Winchell as counsel.  The disease had progressed beyond the reach of medical 
skill.

Mr. King was about twenty-five years old, and unmarried.  He was a young man of 
fine appearance and exemplary habits, highly esteemed among his acquaintances.  
From his first arrival in the city, Mr. King has been a member of the young 
men’s bible class of the Baptist Sunday school, and was for one year its 
president. 

The remains were taken this morning, accompanied by his brother, John, and Will 
Templeton, to Shepherd, Isabella county, where his parents, two sisters and a 
younger brother reside.  The funeral service will be held there tomorrow or 
Thursday, conducted by Mr. Branch, who will go with other friends from Ionia.
