MR. W.H.C. KING

We were pained yesterday to see the announcement of the death of Mr. W.H.C. King, the chief managing editor of the New Orleans Times. He died of cancer, at his residence in Pass Christian on the previous day.

Mr. King was a printer by profession, was formerly engaged upon the Picayune, and subsequently was foreman of the Crescent. When that establishment was confiscated and sold at auction by order of General Butler, the material was purchased by Jacob Barker, who started the National Advocate, and intrusted the chief management to Mr. King. Under his energetic conduct the Advocate at once took high rank among the newspapers of this city, which it maintained until the paper was finally suppressed by General Banks for an indiscreet article which was written by Mr. Barker.

When the Times was started Mr. King became its chief manager, and afterwards its principal woner. His great energy and sagacity gave the paper great popularity and extensive influence and made it, in fact, one of the leading papers of the State.

Mr. King was a native of Pennsylvania and about forty-five years of age. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his untimely end. We learn that not long before his death he became a member of the Catholic Church.

HENRY D. KING

This morning at 10:30 was held the funeral of Mr. Henry D. King, services being conducted at his late residence on Walnut street by Rabbie I. Heinberg in the presence of a large number of friends and the order of the Knights of Pythias, of which he was an honored and cherished member.

Before the appointed hour the home was filled with sympathizing friends, who came to pay the last respects to one whom they held in high esteem, both in t business and social world of Monroe, and as the flower ladened (sic) casket circled by bereaved widow and children, held all that was mortal of husband and father. Mr. Heinberg opened the services with a most beautiful and touching prayer, followed by a eulogy on the life and character of Mr. King, as bound by the ties of home and as connected with the business interests of Monroe with which he has always been prominently identified.

After closing his remarks under the escort of the Knights of Pythias, the active pall bearers bore the remains to the hearse, which was followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of friends, the last sad rites being conducted by the Pythian order, closing with a benediction prayer by Rabbi Heinberg.

The active pall bearers were Messrs. W.H. Faulk, Eugene Windes, Chas, Schulze, Sig Marx, J.P. Parkr, Sr., Leon Hesdorffer. Honorary pall bearers, Mayor A.A. Forsythe, C.A. Downey, H.R. Speed, Neil Stafford, W. Garrett, B.K. Fluker, D. W. Faulk, E. Fudickar, F. Endom, E.C. Tew, R.B. Blanks, Jr., Mr. Hoffman, Chas Guerriero, Joe Lemie, H.P. Marx, Jonas Meyer, J.S. Bloch, D. Masur, A.S. Kuhn, I. Baer, L. Fox, Sig Haas, P. Leigbright.

To sustain her in her great bereavement Mrs. King had with her Miss Sarah Mueller of New Orleans, and Mrs. Schulze of Mobile, sisters, who responded to telegrams announcing Mr. King's critical illness.
