DEATH SUMMONS E.J. KING'S FATHER
J.A. King Dies in Chicago After Brief Illness
Congressman Was At His Bedside
Deceased Formerly Lived in Galesburg and Has Friends Here
The sad news of the death of J.A. King, the father of Congressman E.J. King, was contained in a telegram received here this morning by Ivan King, a grandson. Mr. King passed away at 4:50 o'clock this morning at South Washington Park hospital in south Chicago.
Mr. King was taken severely ill on last Monday evening at his home in south Chicago. Pneumonia and a complication of diseases developed and for some days past he had been in a critical condition. Owing to advanced years, he was unable to withstand the illness and gradually sank until the end came this morning. At the time of his death Mr. and Mrs. E.J. King of this city were at his bedside, together with his wife.
Mr. King resided in this city for a number of years and his many friends here were poised to learn of his death. He had resided in Chicago since 1897.
John A. King was born in Connecticut, spending his youthful days in Suffield. In early manhood he removed to Springfield, Mass., where he carried on a business as a contractor and builder. He was married there to Miss Alice L. Houghton.
Mr. and Mrs. John A. King began their domestic life in Springfield, Mass., and about 1870 removed to Hamburg, Iowa, whence in 1877, after residing in various places, Mr. King came to Galesburg, where for a number of years he was engaged in the livery business. When Governor Tapper was elected, Mr. King was appointed a member of the state grain commission, removing to Chicago. He held this office until Governor Dunne was elected.
He was a soldier of the Civil War, serving as a private in Company A of the 46th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. His political allegiance has always been given to the Republican party. He was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge. His wife, who was a member of the Baptist church, died in Springfield, Mass., at the age of fifty-seven years. They had two children, the daughter having passed away at the age of seventeen years. Mr. E.J. King of this city was the only son.
Mr. King was married a second time two years ago in south Chicago, to Louisa Pouley, who survives.
Announcement of the funeral services will be made later.
