It appears that Alfred King was a very good manager as he passed away before he was 48 years of age, yet was married twice, had six children, did provide for his entire family altho two children died at a very young age. I heard at a very young age that Grandpa King was a hard worker but also a very good manager, he owned two farms besides the one that my father inherited on reaching age 21. Also, Grandma King lived into her 80's and enjoyed a nice home and comfortable living in Genoa Illinois. It was reported that Grandpa King would saddle his horse and take off on a buying trip, in a few days a few men would arrive at the farm with horses or cattle with instructions to put them into a certain pasture. At times he would be gone for a number of days and seemed to prosper in his dealings. Grandpa King had a very nice write up in the Biographical History of De Kalb County Illinois, published in 1898. My father, William L. King also was written up in the same book.
