George H. King

Was born in Lenoir County, December 4, 1866. His father was a minister of the 
Free Will Baptist church, and a merchant. His mother was Miss Susan A. Abbott, 
whose father was a farmer of Lenoir County.

After the family moved to Durham, Mr. King became an apprentice on the Durham 
“Recorder” in 1882, and once having got the mysterious fluid printer’s ink on 
his fingers, stuck to this line of business ever since, and is now one of the 
most successful publishers in the state.

He started the Durham Herald eleven years ago, October, 1894, as editor in chief 
and has been in charge of the paper until now. Under his management it has 
become one of the most reliable and profitable publications in North Carolina. 
The paper, like its editor, has always been independent in politics.

Mr. King married Miss Lillian Rennington, daughter of W.  F. Rennington, a 
contractor and builder of Durham, NC, and is the father of three daughters. He 
is a Mason and a member of the Methodist church.
