      Amanda M Melvin King

      Birth: Jun. 23, 1853
      Death: Apr. 8, 1915

      Mrs. P. O. King, who was stricken with paralysis Saturday morning, March 27th, from which she never rallied, passed away at her home four miles east and one mile south of Mahaska, Kansas, April 8, 1915, aged 61 years, 9 months and 15 days.
      Amanda Melcina Melvin was born near Ripley, Brown county, Ohio, June 23, 1853. After the death of her father she accompanied her mother to Atchison county Mo., when about sixteen years of age, There she met and united in marriage to Perry O. King in October 1875. After residing in Missouri about nine years Mr. and Mrs. King moved to Jefferson County, Nebr., locating near Reynolds, where they remained until the spring of 1900, when they came to Washington county where they have since resided. To this union were born five childre, all of whom are living and were with their mother during her illness. The children are: Zoa Liston, Oakwood, Okla., Paul Alverda, Floyd B., and Lloyd King and Mrs. Bessie Allen, of Mahaska.-------
      In 1893 she united with the M. E. Church, of which she remained a faihful member, being a woman of strong Christian character, patient, loving and self-sacrificing. Well may her children cherish her memory as a precious legacy and we fain would say a word of comfort to the stricken ones, but we can only let our tears flow in sympathy with theirs, and point them to the promise, "At eventide it shall be Light."
      Funeral services were held at M. E. Church in Mahaska at 4:00 o'clock Friday, April 9 conducted by Rev. B. E. Jacobs, pastor of the Presbyterian church, and interment made in the Mahaska cemetery.
