The death occurred on Friday, July 22nd, at the home of her son, Robert King, 93 Duckwitz Street, North Tonawanda, of Mrs. Robert King, at the ripe old age of 86 years. The deceased lady had been in her usual good spirits up until the Sunday previous when she was suddenly taken ill and despite the best of attention and medical aid passed away on Friday. She retained her faculties right up to the last. Mrs. King was a former resident of Grimsby, and many of her children were born here.
