Republic Times
DR. T.D. KING one of the saddest deaths in this city was that of Dr. Thomas D. 
KING, son of R.Q. King, which occurred Sunday morning at 6:45 o'clock at the 
home of his parents, 23 South Factory St. For the past two year, Dr. KING has 
suffered a hundred deaths, so great has been his suffering from a large tumor, 
which formed just back of his right eye. Several surgical operations were 
performed upon him and the last one necessitated the removal of the eye. On 
Thanksgiving day a year ago, the deceased was taken to his bed, from which he 
has never been able to rise. Dr. Thomas D. KING was one of the brightest of 
the young physicians in the city. He began his education at Wittenberg and 
went as far as his senior year, in the class of 1880, when he left for 
Princeton. From that college, he graduated with honors in 1881. Two years 
later he again graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania in 
the medical department. He then opened an office in this city and up to the 
time of his illness controlled a large practice. He was born in this city and 
was twenty-nine years old. He was unmarried, but was engaged to one of 
Springfield's most talented young ladies, who was at his bedside at the time 
of his death. Besides being in high standing with the business community, he 
held an equal rank in social and church circles, being a devote member of the 
First Presbyterian church. His death will be keenly felt by a large number of 
relatives and a host of friends. The funeral will occur Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. 
from the family residence, internment at Ferncliff.
