Mr. King was born March 21, 1902, the son of Charles and Chris­tian Boucher King. On Sept. 1, 1923, he was married to Miss Pearl Wells, and to this union one son, Lawrence Leroy, was born. He was employed at the Edinburg cabinet factory at the time of his injury.

Surviving him are the parents, the widow and son, one sister Mrs. Josie McLain of Franklin; four brothers, Curt King, of Indianapolis; William, Frank and Floyd King at home with the parents in Needham.

Funeral services will be conduct­ed Saturday afternoon at 2 o’­clock at the Edinburg Methodist church with the Rev. Orville Owens, Shel­byville, in charge. Bur­ial will be in Rest Haven cemetery.
