      The following obituary was written by Howard King, Mary's son:
      "Mary Emma Robbins was born on a farm, near Letts, Decatur Co., Indiana, Jan 5, 1863. Passed away April 25th 1934. Aged 71 years 3 mo. 20 days. She was the youngest of 7 children of Johnathan & Margaret Robbins. All the other children have preceeded (sic) her in death. She leaves a husband, 2 sons & their wives, and 8 grandchildren to cherish her memory. She was the first to break this family circle.
      She received training in the schools of her time, and attended the old "Academy" at Hope, Ind. in preparation for teaching. After teaching 3 years, on October 7-1883 she married Heaton H. King who was also a teacher. His work took them to Hope, Indiana and Frankton, Ind. The family also resided for a time at Austin, Ind. Mother united with the Methodist church in her youth, still maintaining membership at Hope. She was active in all church work and made her deep religious beliefs a part of her daily life and acts. In her more than 50 years of marriage she was a true "helpmate". Quiet and self-effacing - deeply and broadly read, her knowledge of current affairs - local - state - national - secular or religious, was wide. Her judgements (sic) and opinions usually were confirmed by actual results. Truely (sic), she "lived in a house by the side of the road" where all were welcome, and in leaving always took with them something for their material or spiritual betterment and comfort. Her last illness was short - the end came quickly and peacefully."
