The funeral was held from the M. E. church on Sunday afternoon. Every foot of space in the spacious edifice was occupied by relatives and sympathetic friends, and scores could not gain admission. Rev. James A. Geer, pastor of the church, delivered an eloquent and touching address in which he paid high tribute to the memory of the deceased, who for many years had taken a prominent part in all the
activities of the church, especially in Sunday school work. A quartette consisting of Mrs. James A. Geer, Miss Myrtle Nelson, Grover Umbehocker and Jay Winsor, with Miss Ruth Briggs as accompanist, rendered three beautiful hymns. The casket was fairly buried in fragrant floral offerings. At the close of the services many eyes in the vast audience were moist with tears. The pall-bearers were Messrs. G. A. Eaton, W. C. Doane, Clair Caley, Dr. G. R.
Caley, James Hartman and T. J. Kaliher. The interment was in the family burying ground in north Spencer Brook.
Miss King is survived by her venerable parents, Mr. and Mrs. William King of Spencer Brook, three sisters; Mrs. Elizabeth Turner, Mrs. Walter Wentworth and Miss Laura King and three brothers; Robert, Wellington and Nelson.
Miss Margaret I. King was born in Spencer Brook, Isanti county, Aug. 11 1867. In her infancy she attended the local schools and later graduated from the Princeton high school. She also took a course in the State university. She was a great student, constantly aiming to increase her store of knowledge and keep abreast of the times. From
her teens up until about a year ago she made teaching her avocation. She taught in many of the best schools in Isanti, Sherburne and Mille Lacs counties, and for eighteen terms in the Princeton high school. She had wonderful success as a teacher, and hundreds of young men and women in Princeton and vicinity have reason to gratefully cherish her memory. For some months past she had been employed as chief clerk of the war board of Mille Lacs county, and, as usual with her, put her whole soul into the work and demonstrated her efficiency in such a manner as to win the approval of all who were brought in contact with her. For many years, in fact all her life, Miss King has been active in church work, and she was rightly regarded as one of the pillars of the
Princeton M. E. church. Although sometimes brusque in manner, at heart Miss King was true gold, and would go to any length to relieve suffering and distress and
serve her friends. She was, indeed, an optimistic, self-reliant, self-sacrificing woman, one who will be sadly missed in this community.
