Ionia Sentinel Standard, 17 Feb 1940

Funeral services for Mrs. Florence B. King, 65, who died Friday afternoon at
2:15 o’clock following a cerebral hemmorhage which occurred just shortly after
noon that same day, will be held from the Stone funeral home Sunday afternoon at
3 o’clock.  Rev. Adam J. Westmaas of the Presbyterian church will officiate. 
Interment will be in the family lot in the Woodlawn cemetery at Wellsville, New
York.

Mrs. King had felt especially well during the forenoon and had given no sign of
any ill health until the sudden attack.  She had been in ill health for some
time but had been up and doing something nearly all the time.

Florence B. Brown was born October 27, 1874, at Delhi, Ontario, Canada, the
daughter of Joseph L. and Almira Brown.  When she was ten years old she moved to
Fort Erie, Canada, where she remained until she was 18 years old.  She then
moved to Buffalo where she met and married William Henry King in 1897.  At his
death in 1910, she moved to Wellsville, New York, and in a little more than ten
years later she moved to Ionia to be with her daughter, Mrs. Henry T.
MacDonough, and Mr. MacDonough, of 307 ˝ west Main street, where she spent the
remainder of her life with the exception of two years spent with her sister in
Valdosta, Ga.  Mrs. King was an ardent and active member of the Congregational
church in Wellsville and she was a member of almost all of that church’s
societies.  She was a great lover of music and was a member of the church choir.
 She also taught music in the primary department of the church at Wellsville. 
Last fall Mrs. King visited her birthplace in Canada and visited with old friends.

Surviving are the daughter, Mrs. Henry Macdonough, one grandson, William
MacDonough, and a sister, Mrs. Harry Jewett, of Ionia.  One sister, Josephine,
died while a young girl.
