George S. King, editor of The Labette County Democrat, is a native of Maryland. In 1859, while yet a young man he emigrated to Illinois, but subsequently removed to Kansas. He is a lawyer by profession, and for several years was one of the editors of the Quincy Herald, a paper published at Quincy, Ill. He also served some time as Secretary of the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Railroad Company. During his residence in Maryland he was elected to the office of County Attorney, which he resigned to emigrate to Illinois, and on November 7, 1882 was elected County Attorney for Labette County, Kan., on the Democratic ticket, although the county was Republican by a large majority, a result which speaks highly, both as to his personal standing and his hold upon the public confidence.

This is the info I have about George S. King, my Gr Gr grandfather:
Born to Sally Ford and George King; George married Maria Abell 30 Oct 1847. The couple had two children who died in infancy (Charles and Susan) and a son Bennet. Maria died in childbirth 2 March 1854 at the young age of 37.
In 1855 George was elected as the 2nd State Attorney for St. Mary's County. He actually held the job since 1852 when James W. Miltimore resigned and Judge Crain appointed George to the vacancy. George married Josephine Campbell in Baltimore 9 Sept 1856 by Fr. Charles F. King (George's brother). After losing their first child, the family moved to Lee County, ILL, about 1859 where they lived a few years before relocating to Quincy. He registered for the Union draft in Ellington, ILL, 1 Jul 1863, however no evidence of service has been found. Editor of the Quincy Herald for several years, George was also Secretary of the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Railroad Company.
The family finally settled in Labette County, KS, in 1877. He became editor of the Labette County Democrat and the Parsons Palladium along with being elected County Attorney and County Auditor in addition to a host of other reputable positions. George died in Oswego, KS, in 1901, a man well respected in all the communities whose presence he graced.
