The Widow Litha King - Madison Co., IN
The widow Litha King appears in the 1920 census of Frankton, Pipe Creek Twp., Madison Co., IN, aged 62, born in Indiana. She was the widow of David King, who died November 1, 1914.
Litha Ann Trumilis D'Amsel May was born November 1856 in Indiana, the daughter of Michael and Julie (Cawthorn) May. Her parents were from Virginia, according to census records. Litha married David King, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Shaw) King on July 26, 1876 in Frankton, Madison Co., IN. Litha died September 1954 in Madison Co., IN. and is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Frankton.
Litha is listed as being enumerated on February 7th, apparently she was out of town at the time the census taker came around the first time.

David King Family - Madison Co., IN
Today I sourced the data on the David King family of Madison Co., IN in the 1900 & 1910 census of Monroe Twp. David was the son of Daniel & Elizabeth (Shaw) King.
In both census David is listed as a farmer whose farm was mortgaged. In the 1900 census, wife Litha is stated as the mother of 6 children, with 4 living, and by 1910 listed on one living. The 1910 census is in error, as in the next household I found daughter Frankie and her husband David Gosnell.
David's father, Daniel, had died by 1876, so it's possible that David didn't know his family origins. In the 1900 census he stated his father was born in Maryland and his mother in Indiana. In the 1910 census he stated that his father was born in North Carolina and his mother in Virginia. Census records for Daniel King state that he was either born in Indiana or in Ohio.
