Catherine Stickle was the daughter of George Stickle. (a George Stickle
owned land close to the Kings in York County Pennsylvania, later found in
Somerset County Pennsylvania). It is said of George's mother that she
spoke Pennsylvania Dutch ( I would rather believe that it was Catherine
who spoke the Pennsylvania Dutch as she was more German than Susannah
Passmore, who was English) Catherine is buried in Mt. Washington Cemetery
near Perryopolis Pennsylvania. Catherine is mentioned in both her father
and mother's wills

A wonderful description is given of him in a family history by Nettie
McDonald "Grandpa King is what everybody called him, was hale and hearty
all his life and even in his ninetieth year was proud of his ability to
mount "Tom" his horse unassisted in the field or on the road without an
upon block. He was a pillar of the Methodist church and never missed a
service, and always prayed with his eyes open."
