Clinton Eye, Clinton MO - December 21 1932
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. King, of Odessa, Happily Enjoy Their Golden Wedding at the Home of Their Daughter in Clinton Fifty years ago, December 21, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. King, of Odessa, Mo., were united in marriage, and to celebrate the happy event, the anniversary was observed Sunday, December 18, at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Albert Bratzler and Mr. Bratzler, South Second street, in Clinton. Upon the snowy cloth was placed a feast worthy of the splendid couple. The centerpiece was a white butter cake baked by Mrs. Bratzler, on which were 50 yellow and white candles, and a miniature bride and groom. Turkey, chestnut dressing, scalloped oysters, corn pudding, creamed potatoes, green beans, waldorf salad, celery and plum pudding was served. Those present in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Bratzler and the guests of honor, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. King were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anthony, Bobbie Frank, Jimmie, and Beverly Ann, of Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bysor, Lucy Dale and Dixie Lee, southwest of Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ed King and son, Ralph Vernon; Mr. and Mrs. Russell King, Violet Pearl, Kenneth, Aaron, Bobby, Sarah Jane, Eula Jean, Elizabeth Ann, Jimmie Marjory Mae, of Clinton. Gold pieces were presented by the sons and daughters, to their parents. Sarah Dale Brandenburg was born May 16, 1865, in Boone County, Mo., near Columbia, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Brandenburg. Both parents died when she was two years old, so she lived with one relative, then another until she was 16, when she went to reside with an uncle, John Kirtley, a year and a half previous to her marriage. She was 17 years old when she was united in marriage to James Dyer King. Mr. King was born and raised near Sulphur Springs, Clay county. He was 22 when married, a sturdy young man, handsome, yes, and she of pleasing appearance and attractive qualities. They were married near Liberty, Mo., December 21, 1882 by a Baptist minister, Rev. Byrd. Her brother, J. M. Brandenburg, accompanied them. It was a cold December day and the bride and groom had to ride 12 miles on horseback to the minister's home. They lived in and near Missouri City in Clay county, until 1900, then moved to Pettis county, lived there one year, moved back to Clay county until in February, 1902, and came to Clinton. At that time, Mr. King was agent for Baker Patent Medicines, and had Henry county for his territory. Seven and a half years they lived in this vicinity, one year in Clinton, then to the W. A. Martin farm, four miles south of Clinton, where they lived five years; a year's stay on the Russell place west of Clinton. In 1908, Mr. King was elected sheriff of Henry county, and took his office in 1909, to serve competently and well four years. Russell King, his son, served as his deputy. Then Mr. and Mrs. King bought the Joseph T. Boyd farm of 180 acres, south of Clinton; lived there five years, and moved to a farm just east of Odessa. They plan to return to Clinton in the spring. The above is but details of their life and where they have moved, but Mr. and Mrs. King have been home lovers, partners of mutual tastes, and their life together has been wonderful. At 72 and 67, the two make their life as full of beauty and worthwhileness as they did in the days of their youth and bloom when they vowed to walk together down life's highways. Mr. King is five feet, ten, strong, delighting to care for his 50 acres of corn, oats, and other crops of the farm, while his wife is a typical housewife, making hooked rugs, quilting, embroidering. Both are jovial, fun-loving -- fun that takes the kinks from out the tangled webs of life, and makes things all seem brighter and better. Both enjoy excellent health. They are the parents of seven children. Buster died in the navy in 1924. Another child died in infancy. Five children are living and 15 grandchildren.
KING - BRANDENBURG 55th Anniversary
Clinton Eye, Clinton MO - December 21 1937
Married 55 Years Ago - Judge and Mrs. J. D. King Will Merge Wedding Anniversary and Christmas Celebration Judge and Mrs. J. D. King of Deepwater are merging the Christmas celebration with their 55th wedding anniversary this year at the home of their daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bratzler at Clinton. The 77-year-old husband and 72-year-old wife are well-known in Henry County which has been their home 36 years December 30, except for about five years in Lafayette County. Judge King has been quite active in politics, having been elected sheriff in 1908 which office he capably filled four years and again was elected county judge for a four year term in 1924. He was recently reelected, officially, corn sealer for the county in connection with the government loans, as his commission expired after four years of service, during which time he said there was not much to do because few farmers had sufficient corn to offer as security, although he expects considerable work now in his official capacity. Both of them enjoy good health and look forward to many years of companionship. Their family circle includes children and grandchildren: Mrs. Frank Anthony, Frank, Jr., Jimmy and Ann of Kansas City; Mrs. J. B. Bysor and daughters, Dixie Lee and Lucy Dale; Mrs. Bratzler, Jim Ed King and Ralph Vernon of Clinton, Russell King and children, Violet, Kenneth, Aaron, Bobby, Marjorie, Sarah, James, Ann and Eula Jean, near Urich. At the passing of their golden wedding, all of them were present, also the sons and daughters-in-law. Many are the changes since Mr. and Mrs. King were wed and first began their life together. He recalls his fine saddle and driving horses that were their sole means of travel in those days; one year they sold 72 turkeys at 4 cents a pound and he has sold hogs at three cents a pound, which in comparison with today's market of around 18 cents for turkeys and $10.00 hog market seems quite cheap. One great difference lay in that they used to raise an abundance of feed and now have to purchase so much. Mr. King has ever been a farmer and has owned a number of farms near Clinton, and his wife has been equally energetic, sharing the shadow and shine of life with her husband. In spirit they are the same bride and bridegroom as when first wedded December 21, 1882.
KING, Frank - Clinton Boy Killed
Henry County Democrat, Clinton MO - June 19 1924
Clinton Boy Killed - "Buster" King a Victim of Battleship Explosion Frank B. King, youngest son of Judge J. D. King, of the Henry County Court was killed by and explosion on Board the U.S.S. Mississippi while the dreadnought was in firing practice on the San Clemente drill grounds off the harbor of San Pedro, Calif. The news of his death came to Clinton in a telegram to his mother from the commander of the squadron, which was received Friday morning and was as follows: San Pedro, Calif., Jun 12, 1924, Mrs. Sarah D. King Clinton, Mo., I deeply regret to inform you of the death of your son, Frank Brandenburg King, thru an explosion on board the U.S.S. Mississippi. Permit me to express my profound sorrow. - H.A. Wiley, Vice Admiral U.S. Navy, Commanding battle fleet. Judge and Mrs. King were not at home when the telegram reached here. They had been in Liberty, Mo., attending a birthday celebration of Mr. King's brother and were on their way home. More than forty men were killed by the explosion which blew up turret No. 2. The turret was in firing practice when the reserve supply of powder four bags, containing 1,800 pounds of high explosives ignited while one one of the guns was being fired at high elevation. Only three men in the turret escaped the others being burned to death or suffocated and more than a score of others outside the turret were severely burned. The Mississippi started back to San Pedro immediately and was met by two mine sweeping vessels and a hospital ship and the dead and injured were transferred to these relief vessels. Frank King was 19 years of age, and was commonly known to his boy companions as "Bus." He was a student in the Clinton schools but left the high school two years ago before his graduation to enlist in the navy. He had made a splendid record both in seamanship and athletics, and had many promotions during his service. He was Second Gunner, and recently received another promotion but this had not yet become effective. He was a member of the crack rowing team of the battle ship, on the first basketball team and ran the half mile on the track team. He was a fine young man, popular with all his companions. The hearts of the community goes forth in sympathy to Judge and Mrs. King in this great sorrow which has come to them. Theirs however, is the knowledge that their boy lost his life in the service of his country and died as a gallant sailor. A recent letter received from Frank was to the effect that he would soon be granted a furlough and immediately after the target practice had planned with great pleasure to being here on the 19th of June.
KING, Frank - Shipped Here
Henry County Democrat, Clinton MO - June 19 1924
Frank King's Remains Coming by Express Judge and Mrs. J. D. King return Friday afternoon by automobile from Kansas City, where they were visiting their daughter when the sad news reached them of the accidental death of their son Frank B. King, in the turret disaster on the Battleship Mississippi. When the morning papers reached the place they were stopping Judge King arising at 6:30, saw the first news of the disaster and noted the name of his son among the victims. Still hoping against hope, he telephone[d] newspaper offices only to have the news confirmed. The fact that his son was expecting to leave for a furlough immediately made him feel that there was some chance for Frank not to have been on the ship, but shortly after 9 o'clock the official telegram received in Clinton was telephoned to Judge King in Kansas City, robbing him of the last vestige of hope. The firing practice was to have been finished on the day of the disaster, and the turret in which young King was stationed had but one more round to fire when the disaster occurred. Letters received by relatives from the boy stated he expected to leave the next day after the practice for his furlough at home. He told of being one of the crack rowing crew which distanced the nearest competitor by seven boat lengths. Saturday morning Judge King received a further telegram advising him that on account of the extent of the disaster, some delay was being experienced in the shipment of the bodies of the dead sailors. It further stated that the body would be shipped to Clinton by express and he would be notified by telegraph the route of shipment and time of arrival here. Mrs. King is bearing up wonderfully well under the great shock. "When Frank came to me to get me to sign his enlistment papers," she is quoted as saying, "It was as great a shock as this, and I gave him to his country. I then made up my mind that whatever befell, I must be prepared for it and meet it." Judge and Mrs. King were accompanied from Kansas City by their son J.B. King, of Brookfield, Mo.

Miss Violet Lennartz entertained the students of the Montrose High school with a comfort tacking at her home Friday evening. Each girl and boy was requested to bring a thimble upon their arrival where given needle and thread and all worked diligently for one hour when the comfort was finished and the name of each one worked in bright colors. Violet's name and the date being in the center and surrounded by the remainder of the graduating class. It is Violet's comfort and will be a nice keepsake for her and will be prized very much in years to come, when looking over the names she will recall many a joke and hearty laugh while they all stood around the quilting frames and worked. It was great fun to see the boys work and the writer thinks that anyone wanting Comforts tacked would do well to employ this crowd if they want first class work. Refreshments of ice cream and cake, and hot chocolate was then served and the remainder of the evening passed in playing flinch and other games and round dancing. About one o'clock they very reluctantly departed after requesting Mrs. Lennartz to let them tack another comfort real soon.
