Louady May King
Mrs. Lou King, native of Rock Port and
a life long resident of this community, died at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Sebree, her son Earl’s
father-in-law and mother-in-law, at Tarkio,
Saturday, November 7th.
Mrs. King has been in ill health for a long
time and when her condition became alarming some
time ago she was taken to the Sebree home for care
and treatment.
The remains were brought to Rock Port Monday
afternoon and the funeral service was held at the
Christian church by Rev. R. A. Karraker, pastor of
the Tarkio Christian church. Interment
was at the Millsap cemetery west of Rock Port.
Mrs. King’s maiden name was Louady May, she
being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley May. She was
born in Rock Port, December 19th, 1864. She was
married to Henry Beeman King in August 1885. He died
about 30 years ago.
To them were born two children – a son and a
daughter. The
daughter, Mrs. Nick May, died August 17, 1918. The son
is Earl King, who has been an employee of the
Burlington railroad at Tarkio a number of years. There are
two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Besides these relatives, Mrs. King is
survived by one sister, Mrs. Sally Eilers of Scotts
Bluff, Neb. Three
brothers, Ed, Lige, and John May are deceased.
Mrs. King had been a member of the
Christian church from early age and had always been
interested and active in the affairs of the church. She was a
meme of the Loyal Workers class of that
organization.
With the exception of two years spent in
Kansas, Mrs. King’s entire life was spent in this
community.
