Frances A. Vawter was born June 7th, 1821, in Jefferson county, Ind., near Madison. She was the daughter of William and Frances Vawter. When a small child she came with her parents to Jennings county, Ind. They located three miles from Vernon on the Muscatatuck, long known as the "old Vawter homestead," there she lived until her marriage to George King on May 14th, 1840. The took up their abode on a hill in sight of her old home and there she spent the remained of her life. She was converted at the age of eighteen and placed her membership in the Baptist church, afterwards becoming identified with the Christian church of which she has since been a faithful member. Her husband died in 1858 and she lived on alone with her children for a time, but for the last 30 years she had made her home with her only daughter. "Aunt Frank" as she was always called, was dearly loved by everyone. Her sweet, gentle disposition, her loving kindness and thoughtfulness for others, her many long years of faithful service for her Master whom she so dearly loved, speaks to us all plainer than words of the love and joy and peace in the life of a true Christian. In her last illness which was of short duration, her thoughts were of her loved ones, anxiety for the welfare of the faithful watchers at her bedside. She had just been sweetly and patiently waiting for the summons "Come" and then slipped gently and quietly away to be at rest.
