Married Sarah Jane "Sallie" LOKEY. No issue.
Per Alabama Death Index: Anson Thomas KING, married White male (wife Sallie LOKEY KING), farmer residing at Ft. Gaines, Clay County, Georgia, born 16 MAY 1865 in Ft. Gaines, Georgia, son of Erasmus Ripley KING & Angeline METHVIN (both born in Wilkerson County, Georgia, died 10 APR 1940 [another index shows died 18 APR 1940], aged 75 years, in Eufaula, Barbour County, Alabama; interred 19 APR 1940 in New Park Cemetery, Ft. Gaines, Georgia, all per Family History Library film entry #1908588, from state record Volume 22, Roll 4, death certificate #10777.
I have been informed that this memorial is a duplicate of this memorial . However, before these two are merged, I would like to try to determine why the newspaper death notice and Alabama Death Index entry for Anson both report his burial at New Park, whereas he appears on a survey of Midway Cemetery (recorded by Mr. and Mrs. Donald TODD, as reported in the Cemeteries Section of the site for Clay County at GeorgiaGenWeb). Anson’s grave marker has also been photographed at Midway. If anyone has information that might help clarify this matter, I would appreciate knowing of it. Thank you. - jml
∼While having no children of their own, Uncle Anz and Aunt Sallie helped raise several of their relations. Peggie (Margaret) King and Artie King went to live with their brother and sister-in-law following the death of their father in 1899, as reflected in the 1900 U. S. Census for Clay County, GA. They also raised the children of Artie King Coleman, who died in 1915, after the death of Robert Coleman in 1919. This is also confirmed by the 1920 U. S. Census of Clay County, GA. This same census shows Henry Ivey and Annie Hall living in the same household. From the accounts of Margaret Methvin Ivey, Uncle Anz was very loving, kind, and playful with the children, while Aunt Sallie was more stern and the disciplinarian in the family.
Anson T. King's obituary was published on April 25, 1940 in the "Southwest Georgian" of Fort Gaines, GA and reads as follows:
"Mr. A. T. King Dies________Mr. A. T. King, prominent Fort Gaines citizen died about 12:15 o'clock last Thursday at Salter's hospital in Eufaula, where he was carried for treatment on Sunday before his death. Mr. King had been in declining health for several years, and was practically an invalid, but bore his suffering with great patience never complaining. All was done by loved ones and friends that could be done, but God saw fit to call him to the great beyond, where there will be no more suffering and pain.
He was 75 years of age and was born in Clay, County, living here practically all his life. He was a member of the Baptist church and was active in church, civic and social life until his health failed him several years ago. Mr. King was loved by all who knew him and wil lbe greatly missed in the community.
Funeral services were held at the home on Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock conducted by the Rev. A. Barnum Hawkes, of Thomaston, former pastor of the Fort Gaines Baptist Church, Assisted by Rev. Rufus Higgenbotham, local Baptist pastor, and Rev. W. B. Cheshire, pastor of the Fort Gaines Methodist church. Interment followed in New Park Cemetery.
He is survived by his wife, the former Sallie Lokey and three sisters, Miss Cap King, Mrs. M. A. Lokey, of Fort Gaines and Mrs. Joe Ivey of Bluffton and several neices and Nephews.
The large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends who gathered to pay their last tribute, and the many beautiful flowers evidenced the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him.
The following nephews acted as pallbearers: Wallace, George, and Savoy Ivey, Glenn Lokey, Edward, Ralph, William and Leland King.
A large crowd of out-of-town friends attended the funeral."
