Weekly Republic, Springfield OH
volume 10, Number 51, Page 3, columns 1 & 2."Thursday Health Report - Deaths 
by Cholera and other Diseases since Tuesday Noon: TO Thursday, noon: DAVID 
KING, dysentery, Main St., Wednesday evening. We are sorry to be called upon 
to chronicle the death of this highly useful citizen, who died last evening at 
eight o'clock of dysentery, we feel that in his death Springfield has 
sustained a loss which it may take much time to repair. Mr. King has lived 
here a number of years, and has done a large portion of building the last 
three. By industry, economy and business tact, from the position of a 
friendless orphan child he advanced to the possession of a large fortune, 
which was rapidly increasing when he died. This was used and not hoarded; for 
his business talent he had a far sighted public spirit and a large share of 
town pride. Mr. KING was brought up in the family of ROBERT QUIGLEY of 
Cumberland county, Pa. He was fifty-three years of age, and had been a citizen 
of Ohio since 1821, marrying in Portsmouth. He was a member of the 
Presbyterian church, and was a liberal giver to all religious and benevolent 
societies
