        EARL G. KING, who is engaged in the practice of law in the City of
Warren, judicial center of Trumbull County, has here gained place as one of
the representative lawyers of the younger generation in his native county.
        Mr. King was born at Bristolville, Trumbull County, on the 26th of
February 12, 1851, and is a son of John and Lucy Ann (Mullen) King, the
former of whom was born in the Township of Boyle, County Roscommon,
Ireland, February 12, 1851, and the latter of whom was born in Mecca
Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, April 25, 1860, their home being still
maintained at Bristolville. The subject of this review is their only
surviving child, and the younger of the two children was John Burdette, who
died in infancy. John King was reared and educated in his native land, and
there learned the trade of stone mason. He was twenty-five years of age
when he came to the United States and established his residence at
Bristolville, Ohio. He was for many years in the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and since 1921 he has lived retired, one of the
substantial and highly respected citizens of Bristolville.
        Earl G. King is indebted to the public schools of his native
village for his earlier educational discipline, and in 1911 he was
graduated from the high school at Warren. In the advancing of his studies
along academic lines he thereafter entered the Ohio State University, and
in this institution he was graduated in 1917, his admission to the bar
having been virtually coincident with his reception of the degree of
Bachelor of Laws. At the university he became affiliated with the Delta
Theta Phi law fraternity.
        Not long was it given the ambitious young attorney to follow the
practice of his profession after his admission to the bar of his native
state, in June, 1917, for in the meanwhile the nation had become involved
in the World war, and with characteristic loyalty he soon tendered his
services to his country. On the 27th of April, 1918, he was inducted in the
United States Army, and at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, he was assigned
to an infantry regiment. On the 8th of the following month, as a member of
Company I, Three Hundred and Thirty-second Infantry, Eighty-third Division,
he sailed with his command from the port of New York City, and on the 17th
of June the troops landed at La Havre, France. Mr. King was thereafter
stationed at Donne Marie, France, one month, and he was then assigned to
service in Italy, where he was stationed with his command along the Piave,
between Treviso and Venice. He participated in the Battle of Vittorio,
Venetia. He participated in the Battle of Vittorio, Venetia, a major
offensive, and was at the time serving as corporal of his original company
and regiment. From December, 1918, until March, 1919, Mr. King was in
service with the food commission at Trieste, France, and on the 29th of the
latter month he embarked on the home voyage, he having landed in the port
of the national metropolis on the 14th of April and having thence returned
to Camp Sherman, Ohio, where he received his honorable discharge May 3, 1919.
        On the 16th of July, 1919, Mr. King established an office in the
City of Warren, where he has since continued in the practice of his
profession in connection with civil cases, his practice being of general
order and showing a constantly cumulative tendency. His law offices are at
501-2 Western Reserve Bank Building. Mr. King is a popular member of the
Trumbull County Bar Association, is a republican in political adherency,
and he still holds membership in the Methodist Episcopal Church in his
native town of Bristolville. At West Farmington he is affiliated with
Western Reserve Lodge No. 507, Free and Accepted Masons; at Warren he is a
member of Mahoning Chapter No. 66, Royal Arch Masons, and Warren Council
No. 58, Royal and Select Masters, besides which he is an active member of
the Lions Club in his home city.
        October 23, 1919, marked the marriage of Mr. King and Miss Helen
Brinkerhoff, daughter of Dr. Edward and Bertha (Phelps) Brinkerhoff, of
Bristolville, where her father is a leading physician and surgeon. Mr. and
Mrs. King have three children, Jean Elizabeth, born January 14, 1921;
Patricia Ann, born December 13, 1922; and John Edward, born February 11,
1924.
