H. B. KING
AN OLD SOLDIER GONE
Died as a Result of Diabetes. Body Buried at Dunlap. Funeral in Charge of IOOF

After a long and weary struggle the Tired and exhausted spirit of H.B. King winged its light to its maker. For more than a year the departed was in poor health and day after day he felt his life's energies fading away until the end came, and all that remained of him was of the earth earthly, the home in which the spirit of H.B. King had lived. The Kind genial soul of him who loved life and its activities was at rest. He had ended his race and life's weary struggle was over. He had acted well in his part as he saw it and we believe that the verdict of all who knew him is that he lived a honest upright life and met all the responsibilities with courage and devotion to duty. He was an honored member of the Grand Army of the Republic, having earned this honor by five years of faithful service. He enlisted in Company E, thirty first Iowa volunteers at Nevada (Iowa) and remained in the service to the end of the war and was mustered out with an honorable discharge in 1866. H. B. King was born in Lorain county, Ohio in 1844 and moved with his family to Story county, Iowa, when he was a small boy. There he enlisted in the army where he remained for five years. On his return he entered the service of the C.N.W. Railroad and remained on of its faithful employees until he was released on a pension in February 1909. He was united in marriage to Miss Francis Benson of Dunlap and to this union there were born eleven children, nine of whom are living. They are Mrs. Will Robinson, Mrs. Chas Robinson and Arthur King of Chicago; Miss Will Tuefel and Maud Huntington, Montana; Mrs C.W. Ross of Belle Foushe, S.D; Albert and Pearl King of Council Bluffs and Mrs. John Fiscus of this city. All the children were present at the funeral with the exception of Mesdames Ross and Will Tufle who were unable to attend. Mr. King enjoyed good health until the death of his wife which occurred about eighteen months past. Since then, he made his home with his daughter, Mrs Ficsus in this city. Something over a year ago his mind began to fail and grew worse until something like three months past when he was sent to the hospital at Clarinda but as his physical condition failed so rapidly he was returned to his home two weeks previous of his death, which occurred Thursday afternoon, July 7th. The funeral services were in charge of the Odd Fellows of which he was an active member. On Sunday the members of the order in this city held a short funeral service at the home and the remains were then taken to Dunlap for burial. The order at that place took charge of the burial which was largely attended. The Northwestern Co. for which he had been a long and faithful employee, placed a care at the disposal of the family and the members of the order who assisted in the funeral. In the death of Mr. King, a patriotic and loyal citizen has answered the last call to duty and the community loses a good citizen and the family a kind and loving father. The remains were laid to rest besides those of his those of hes loving wife who had preceded him to the great unknown by several months. The family has the sympathy of many friends in this their sad loss.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends and different orders who so kindly assisted us in the sickness and bereavement of our father and brother, H.B. King. Children and Sisters.
