Parsons and Dr. M. S. Kennedy conducted the funeral services Friday afternoon and the interment was in the family vault at Maplewood Cemetery.
Mr. King began his business career at Elkton as a young man nearly fifty years ago, later coming to Pulaski where he and the late T. E. Daly were together in business several years.
Since then Mr. King has been actively and prominently identified with the business interests of the town being senior member of the firm of King and Flournoy at the time of his death. Mr. King was a man of fine business qualifications and great energy. He was a trustee of the Methodist Church and for many years a steward. He was on of the Board of Trust of Martin College, and had occupied other positions of trust, which he always filled faithfully and well, among them, the vice presidency of the Peoples Bank. In addition, he owned extensive farm interests which he managed and directed in a most efficient manner. He was public spirited and a man with numerous acts of kindness and quiet generosity to his credit, and in his death the business interests of the town and county have suffered a severe loss, the community one of its best citizens and his family a kind and indulgent husband, father and brother.
Surviving Mr. King are his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Stokley Nelson and a brother, Lewis King of Nashville, who have the sympathy of their many friends.
