Information: WELL KNOWN EVANS WOMAN IS FOUND DYING IN HER HOME EARLY THURSDAY - Mrs. Nellie B. King, 71, wife of William M. King of Evans, died suddenly at her home there of a heart attack, Thursday morning.  She was doing the usual work around the home that morning, and when Mr. King noticed that he had not heard her for a short time he went to see what she was doing and found that she had collapsed on the floor of a room in the home and was dying.  She lived only a few minutes after he found her.  Mrs. King was a member of the Otterbein United Brethren church and had been for the past 58 years.  She was also active in the work of the Farm Women's club of her community and was held in highest esteem by hundreds in the county who were privileged to be acquainted with her.  She was born at Evans of March 30, 1881, a dauther of Josephus and Carrie Hogsett Sayre.  She spent her entire life in the community, which residents said was made a much finer community because of her life and her good works.  On January 5, 1914, she married Mr. King, who survives as does a stepson, Rev. Harry King of Wheeling; a stepdaughter, Miss Nellie Lee King of Beaver, Pa., a brother, Russell Sayre of Pittsburgh and several nieces and nephews.  The funeral service was held from the Otterbein church on Saturday afternoon with the Rev. C. G. Knapp officiating and the burial was in the Otterbein cemetery.  The Vail undertakers were in charge of arrangements.
