Notes |
- Robert King was a successful Grahamstown businessman in the linen drapers firm of Ryall, King & King, High Street. He went to Grahamstown c 1867 for his health. He married on 5/8/1868 Alice, eldest daughter of John Webb. They had 10 children. King was a staunch Wesleyan, active in Sunday School work and as a local preacher. He gave generously to charities and religious institutions. He collected some £800 in England towards the peal of bells which was hung in the Cathedral tower. The great bell carries an inscription to his memory. He was an ardent temperance worker. In 1877 he was elected to represent the Grand Lodge of South Africa of the Independent Order of Good Templars and went to America. He served as a directory of the Good Templars' Hall company. He was a member of the Grahamstown Town Council 1864-76. He moved to Port Elizabeth in 1880 where he joined the firm of Baker, King & Co. In the last months of his life he suffered from insomnia and depression.
On a voyage to England in search of health he was lost from the Dunnottar Castle near Knysna in February 1894. His wife died in the Albany General Hospital in Grahamstown on 10 July 1902 at the age of 52. (ex Jim's Journal)
