George F. King, P. O. Lexington, Missouri, was born in St. Charles 
county, Missouri, October 23, 1842.  When he was quite young his parents
moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, but after a short residence there, moved
to this county, where George was raised and educated in Lexington.  At
the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to Mr. John A. Graham, of Lexing-
ton, to learn the tinner's trade, where he remained three years, and 
then one year with William Morrison.  He enlisted in company F, 10th
Missouri volunteer cavalry, U. S. A., and served during the war.  He was
in many skirmishes, but was never wounded or taken prisoner.  After the
war Mr. King returned to Lexington and began working his trade.  In 1868
he entered into the stove and tinwware business upon his own account, on
Franklin street, Lexington, Mo., where he now is, and has a full stock,
a first class trade, and is well insured.  In 1875 he was married to
Miss Caroline Leichenring, of Lexington, by whom he has two children
