**********************************************************************

Frederick King, attorney at law, real estate, loan and abstract agent,
and publisher of the Standard, was born in Sharon, Litchfield county,
Conn., in 1843.  He was reared on a farm, remaining there until 1861,
when July 13 he enlisted as private in Company I, Fifth Regiement
Connecticut Volunteers, and served until July 22, 1864.  He was in 
Banks' command, in the Shenandoah Valley, and in the Army of the
Potomac until September, 1864, taking part in the engagements at
Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and many minor battles.  Subsequently he
was in the First Brigade, First Division, Twentieth Corps, Army of the
Cumberland, from October, 1864 serving in Tennessee, North Alabama and
with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign, participating in all the great
moves and battles of that campaign.  Following this Mr. King resided
in Washington, D. C., for four years, from April, 1865 to March, 1869,
after which he came west to Greene county, Mo., in March, 1869, and
located near Republic, in that county, purchasing a farm.  He began
the study of the legal profession, and was subsequently admitted to 
the practice of law.  In March, 1885, he moved to Marshfield, and has
since resided in this place.  He was Eminent Commander (and charter
member) of St. Johns Commandery No. 20, Knights Templar, at Springfield
for two terms.  In 1888 Mr. King was elected delegate from the Thir-
teenth District to the Republican National Convention at Chicago, 
voting for Gen. Harrison.  His connection with the affairs of Webster
county has proved fortunate for the people of this community.  As a
member of the real estate, loan and abstract firm of King & Moore, he
has built up a good business.  Professionally his standing is widely
recognized, while no little influence is exerted in the publication of
the Standard.
