Washington State College - The Alumnus - Volume XXII - November, 1932
In Memoriam
R. M. KING, '21, DECEASED
Raymond McKinley King, aged 33, a 1921 graduate from the State College, died recently at his home in Los Angeles, California, after a long illness. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer King of Davenport and a brother of Carl and Ervin King, prominent Pullman farmers.
He was born January 26, 1899, at Davenport and received his early education in the grade and high school of that town, later matriculating at the State College. He was prominent in athletics, winning letters in both football and track, and served as president of his class during his senior year. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, Alpha Zeta fraternity and the Gray W club.
While a member of the officers' training corps at the State College he contracted influenza, from which tuberculosis developed. Several times he was pronounced cured of the disease, but each time it recurred and finally claimed his life.
On August 28, 1924 he was married to Charlotte Verna Davies, a college student and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Mrs. King, with the two children, Grace Ellen, seven, and Lewis Ray, five, survive him.
Following graduation Mr. King farmed in the Joel neighborhood, near Moscow, but went to Los Angeles to enter the veterans; hospital, where he remained two years, then taking up his home in that city, where the family has resided since.
Mr. King was apparently in good health when he arose in the morning, according to word from Los Angeles. He ate a hearty breakfast, but complained of feeling very tired and laid down to rest, soon passing quietly away.
Mr. King was very popular during his student days at the State College and was an outstanding athlete of powerful physique. He made friends easily and was admired by all who know him for his friendly disposition and splendid character.
He is survived by his widow and two children, by his parents at Davenport, two brothers and a sister.
