— B. J. King of Ringwood, Okal., stopped in at our office for a friendly visit Monday evening, having been called to Newton because of the serious illness of his brother, S. B. King who died at the Bethel Deaconess hospital at 6:45 Sunday evening. S. B. King, 81 had lived on a farm at Hesston for 47 years, where he and his wife reared a family of nine children.

He was among those who helped in the founding of Hesston College at Hesston in 1909. One son, Rev. Samuel M. King, is a missionary at Dhamtari, C. P., India.
