The family lived in Berea for many years, but two years ago moved to the city, and later Mr. King's mind wandered and he has for some time been an inmate of the Newburg Asylum. Last Sunday he was discharged from that Institution and on Monday went to Elyria, and later came to Berea. In the afternoon he visited his old home, now occupied by Arthur Gray, and entered the wood shed. Acting mysteriously, Mrs. Gray, becoming alarmed, notified the neighbors, Gustav Kindler and Wm. Otter, who investigated and found King in the attic. He was alive, but unconscious. Two empty bottles, labeled carbolic acid and laudanum, were lying beside him. Drs. Coates and Perry were called but when they arrived it was too late to save his life. The body was taken to Eckert's morgue, and Coroner Seigelstein notified. He leaves a wife and two sons, Crowley and Clyde, aged respectively 19 and 17 years. ==== OH-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ====
