King got involved with the local pharmacist's only daughter and got her pregnant. He did wish to marry her, but her father adamantly refused probably because Andrew had 6 small children under the age of 12. I believe that this precipitated his move to Kansas either by his choice, community, or family pressure. The young woman had a baby daughter and she continued to live at home with her parents. My mother found out about this from Aunt Rosie on one of our last visits to see her before she died. My grandmother NEVER mentioned this to anyone that we are aware of and since my grandmother was a real stickler for propriety my guess is that this was a real family scandal and she was quite ashamed of her father's actions. Children in those days were often judged harshly by their parent's reputations and my grandmother who was only 7 when her mother died surely felt this stigma gr! owing up as a "poor relation" as she put it.
