KING, GESHNER, WILLIAMS Mrs. Elizabeth HOOPER KING, ... the oldest residents of Robinson township, died at her home near Bavington, Wednesday, September 4, at the advanced age of 92 years. Funeral services were held Friday at 2 o'clock in the Robinson United Presbyterian Church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. T. A. GIBSON. The interment was made in Robinson cemetery. Mrs. KING was born November 5, 1915, on the old HOOPER homestead in Allegheny County where she spent her early childhood. She was a daughter of William and Jane WRIGHT HOOPER, among the early settlers of this section of the county. Mrs. KING was of German descent, her grandfather, Phillip HOOPER, having emigrated to this section and settled in Allegheny County. Mr. HOOPER was a tanner by trade and while the forests were teeming with wild beasts and nomadic Indians, jealous of the white man's encroachments on their soil, he sank his tan vats for this tannery under the branches of large sugar trees, as he could not afford to build sheds over them. On December 28, 1840, Miss HOOPER was united in marriage to William KING, a son of William KING, who came to Robinson township when but 11 years of age. Mr. KING's grandfather, Thomas KING, was one of the early settlers of this country and settled near the county seat. Mr. KING, the husband of the deceased, died September 6, 1884. Mrs. KING was a consistent member of the Robinson United Presbyterian Church and scarcely ever missed a service until her advanced age compelled her to remain at home. The deceased is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. R... GEARY, of McDonald; Misses Margaret and Zetta KING at home, and William KING, of Memphis, Tenn. Died suddenly of heart disease on Thursday, September 5, Sadie GESHNER, aged 15 years. The deceased was a granddaughter of Michael CONIFF, one of our citizens who has resided in the town for many years.
