MOUNT CHARLES
- King's Corner's or Kingsville were the early names of this Toronto Township hamlet west of Malton. Charles King was one of the original settlers at this locale and the place was first known by its surname.
In 1862 when a Post Office was opened, Squire William Johnston suggested that the name should commemorate the first name of Mr. King.
At this time, Charles King, Junior was the general storekeeper and postmaster. He was appointed as postmaster on October 10, 1962 and resigned on February 2, 1869. His son-in-law, Robert McLeod was then appointed on June 1, 1869 and he resigned on November 27, 1876.
By 1866, the community had two taverns, a sawmill and a flour mill. Mount Charles remained a small crossroads community and by the 1970's only long time residents recall the name and an old blackmith's shop stands as a reminder of earlier days.

LIZZIE KING
born 1865 d. January 19, 1884, age 19 years.
Sister of Mrs Constable and daughter of James King esq. of Amaranth, died Monday afternoon last.
Deceased had been ailing for some time. Having been closely connected with the M.E. Sabbath School and being a very estimable young lady, there are many friends who mourn her early death.

MARIE KING
The following from the Burlington Budget will be interesting to many residents of Shelburne and vicinity, the bride and her parents being former residents of this place

There was a large number of friends assembled at the residence of Mr. Chas. King on the evening of Wednesday the 8th inst., when his daughter, Marie, was united in marriage to Chas. Coleman, both well known in the village.
The ceremony took place at 8 o'clock, Rev. Jas. Metcalfe, of Gimsby, a partiular friend of the family, performing the solemn service, that made the twain one.
The bride was charmingly attired in a dress of cream satin and henrietta, and carried a bouquet of exquisite roses.
The bridesmaid, who was also attired in cream, carrying the same flowers was Miss Bookless of Orangeville, little Miss Edith Irene Lindsey, niece of the bride, making a beautiful maid of honour.
And the groom being supported by his brother, Mr. A. B. Coleman.
After congratulations the party adjourned to where the marriage feast was spread and sat down to a table covered with good things.
Among the large number of presents received by the bride was a purse containing five twenty dollar gold pieces from her brother, E. H. King, of Chicago.
We are glad to know that we shall not lose Mr. and Mrs. Coleman from our midst, as Burlington cannot spare any of its popular people. They will settled in their new home amongst us very shortly. The Budget wishes Mr. and Mrs. Coleman an untroubled voyage down the stream of time together.

Pioneer resident of Geraldton since 1934, Charlie King, yesterday celebrated his 80th birthday at his home on Wardrope Avenue.
Charlie and his wife, who is 73, have been married for 56 years and have five sons and two daughter.
A constant pipe smoker, Charlie says the secret of old age is "lots of hard work and no liquor.

"Geraldton's Grand Old Man" Charles King celerated his 90th birthday, November 1, at his residence on McKenzie west. Known affectionately and with respect as Grampa King" by young and old in and throughout the Geraldton District.
Mr. King is the oldest resident of Northern Ontario.
He also is known as the second resident of New Liskeard, where he first made his home away back in 1891.
He arrived by boat at the new farming area known as the Little Clay belt at the age of 16, in the year of 1891. When he arrived at the junction of the Wabi River at the north end of Lake Temiskaming there was only one shack and a lonely man who had spent the winter in the area now known as New Liskeard.
Mr. King had come up the lake to buy farming land at the rate of 25 cents an acre.
He had walked out to look over his land and decided to stay.
He was married in 1901 on a Saturday to Miss Arvilla Doupe and on Sunday a bush fire burned down their home.
All that was saved was the horse and cow. They had to start to rebuild, and rebuild in a hurry before winter set in.
He farmed his land until 1935 when he sold out and came to Geraldton where he moved his family of seven children, five boys and two girls.
For years "Grampa King" is seen each morning as he walks up town to get his mail. It makes little difference to him whether it rains, shines or snows or blows he takes his morning walk uptown for the mail.
He still has his chores to do around the house. He shuns such modern trappings as oil and gas heating and does not believe in electric cooking.
Mr. and Mrs. King both enjoy
excellent health and still enjoy company dropping in for a visit. Grampa still can belt out a tune on his well worn Auto Harp, an instrument that has been in the home for many years.
The old family organ and the auto harp was the center of many sing songs and Grampa can still check up on any person playing a tune, whether they have the right harmony and chords for the melody.
All his friends and neighbours of the day and hope that he has many more years
of health and laughter.

Grampa Chas. King celebrated his 92nd birthday November 1, and his wife Mrs. Chas King celebrated her 84th birthday Thursday Novenber 16th. Geraldton's grand couple have earned the admiration and affection of the Geraldton area during their many years residence in Geraldton. Grampa King pioneered the New Liskeard country, cleared land, farmed married July 1901 and raised a family.
Mr. and Mrs. King celebrated their 65th
wedding annivsary July 1966.
Mrs. King has not been feeling well lately and is under the doctor's care and Grampa has been restng
in a nursing home at the Lakehead
for the past few weeks.
