Berney E. King, age 59 years, died suddenly at his home in Franklin last night. Funeral services will be held from the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and burial will take place in Rest Haven Cemetery.
Mr. King had been in usual health all day yesterday and last night went to his room to retire at 9 o'clock. Mrs. King heard no more from him until 5:30 this morning. She called to him but received no answer. She immediately called a neighbor who went to his room and found him lying on the floor. He had been troubled with a bronchial or lung trouble for several years and last summer suffered a severe heart attack and fell on the streets. His death was thought to be from a heart attack.
He was the son of George W. and Leah King and was born June 11, 1871, on the farm now owned by Sherman McGaw just south of Edinburg. He was married to Miss Cora Compton, also of near Edinburg and several children were born to this union, four of whom are still living. He is also survived by the widow, one sister, Mrs. Lillie Miller, and one brother, G. G. King, both of Edinburg.
He was a member of the Methodist Church, also the Masonic Lodge, and was well known in Johnson and Bartholomew counties. He had spent the last few years in Franklin where he had conducted a grocery store near the Masonic Home.
