THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE (TAMPA, FLORIDA) 3/14/1901

ORDERED HIS OWN COFFIN, AND IT ARRIVED JUST BEFORE HIS DEATH.

An Incident Connected With the Lamented Passing of Judge Ziba King---His Foresight.

The handsome metallic casket in which the remains of big-bodied, big-hearted Judge Ziba King were yesterday laid to rest at Fort Ogden has a history which can be told without disrespect to the dead or offense to the living.

A cool, calculating man of affairs, Judge King's ruling business trait was foresight. He was not a follower of the cult which allows the morrow to take care of itself. He looked forward while others looked backward. In this was the secret of his success, the basic foundation of his fortune.

A week before his death, Judge King felt that his end was near. The thought of the future, provision for what the morrow would bring forth, actuated him on the very threshold of dissolution.

With a calmness seldom found in men upon the bed of death, he dictated a telegram to his close personal friend, Col. J.B. Anderson, of this city, requesting that he ascertain if a casket sufficiently large to enclose his giant frame could be obtained in the city of Tampa.

He is described the style of casket he wished. It must be six feet six inches in length, metallic, with extension silver handle-bars.

Col. Anderson went upon the sad mission immediately. He found that no casket of that unusual size could be secured in this city.

Undertaker J. L. Reed offed to secure the casket desired. He ordered it by wire from New Orleans and had it forward by express.

The coffin arrived in Tampa Thursday morning. At one o'clock on that day Judge King was dead.

AN OLD-TIME COUNTY BURIAL;

Funeral Services of Ziba King Held Under Speaking Oak.

In the country churchyard where lie the remains of his six dead sons, the body of Judge Ziba King was laid to rest yesterday at Fort Ogden the home of his young manhood. About the grave stood the widow, six living sons and two daughters.

It was an old-time country burial. The coffin was laid on the ground under a spreading oak tree, and Rev. Mahon, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Arcadia, pronounced the solemn service.

The pallbearers were Senator Whidden and Messrs, Carlton, Jones and Watkins, of Arcadia, and J.B. Anderson and Peter O. Knight, of this city. A special funeral train bore a large concourse of friends to the scene.

Col. Anderson and Knight returned to the city last night. The will of the deceased names his widow, and his sons, J.G. and T.B. King, as the executors of the estate, which is valued at $300,000.
