         HENRY COATS died Monday, aged 19. The young
       man worked for Slater & Harrold, draymen, and
       his death was the result of exposure and not
       taking proper care of himself afterwards.
       
         Death has claimed another old and esteemed
       resident of our city in the person of MRS.
       JOHN KING, who, after much suffering, breathed
       her last at her home on Napier avenue, Saturday
       night. Deceased was born at Kirkwell, Orkney
       Island, Scotland, in May, 1825, and was married
       to CAPT. JOHN KING at Edinburgh about forty
       years ago. A year or so before he had come to
       this section and after their marriage they came
       direct to St. Joseph and this has ever since
       been their home. CAPT. KING and a son went down
       with the schooner Industry off South Haven in
       1882, and another son was killed under a house.
       Five children survive. MRS. KING was an old
       member of the Congregational denomination with
       which she met in the early days here in the
       old building now used as a voting place for 
       the Second Ward. Her funeral was held Monday
       from her late home.  Rev. Mr. McRoberts con-
       ducting it. All who knew this kindly lady will
       miss her.
