Mr. Wyllys King went to St. Louis, Mo., in 1832, and was subsequently a member of the mercantile firm of Doan, King & Co., a house which for more than thirty years held highest rank among the business houses of St. Louis. Upon the establishment of the State insurance department in 1869, his firm having retired from business a short time previously, Mr. King was appointed by Governor McClurg, the first Superintendent of Insurance. His administration is well remembered for the vigor with which he pursued, and the success he attained, in ridding Missouri of the brood of wild-cats which for years had been a blot and shame upon the insurance business. Mr. King was also a member of the convention during the Civil War called to draft a new State Constitution, which was adopted in 1865.
