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.

David KING b. December 4, 1854 Frankton, Madison Co., IN., d. November 1, 1914 Frankton, Madison Co., IN., m. July 26, 1876 Frankton, Madison Co., IN to Litha Ann Trumilis D'Amsel MAY, daughter of Michael and Julie (CAWTHORN) MAY. Litha b. June 1856 Indiana, d. September 1954 Madison Co., IN.

Known children of David and Litha (May) King are as follows :

ii. David Victor King b. June 1882 Madison Co., IN., d. after 1920, m. Rosie M. Etchison

DAVID KING DEAD AT FRANKTON HOME
Man Who Underwent Operation Last Tuesday Passed Away Last Night
David King, a well known resident of Frankton, died last night at 11 o'clock after a lingering illness which resulted last Tuesday in an operation for the amputation of the right leg. The deceased man is survived by a wife and four children. The children are : Mrs. Maude Jackley, of Russell, Iowa, who reached Frankton before her father died; Mrs. Mack Gosnell, of Rushville, Ind., who was unable to get to the bedside of her father; Victor King, residing on a farm near Frankton, and Hoy King, residing in Frankton.
Mr. King was known by many people in Madison county and for a number of years he lived on a farm between Alexandria and Frankton. During the harvest this summer Mr. King blistered his foot and gradually gangrene set in. As a last resort to save the right limb an operation was performed last Tuesday. The funeral arrangements have not been completed.
