King, Mrs. C. B. [Clifford Bell]
How saddened we were when came the message: "Sister C. B. King passed away." But like a rainbow across the storm cloud came the thought that she was a Christian. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Tipler. She was born in Middleton, Tenn., in 1888, and died on April 11, 1928, at the Baptist Hospital, Memphis, Tenn., where she underwent an operation for appendicitis. In 1903 she was baptized by Brother N. B. Hardeman while attending the Georgie Robertson Christian College (now Freed-Hardeman College). Her influence was such that by association one was inspired to nobler deeds. Sister King was modest in dress and manner, kind, with an unassuming disposition that won for her many friends. She was a member at Harbert Avenue, Memphis, before she became identified with the Coleman Avenue church of Christ. In 1904 she was married to C. B. King and soon afterwards moved to Memphis. To them were born six children. Of these, two girls and three boys are living. Besides these, she leaves a husband, father, and two sisters—Mrs. J. O. Lowry, of Obion, Tenn., and Mrs. J. W. Matheson, of Macon, Tenn. Her life was a beautiful example of just what constitutes a real, ideal home; the mother, chaste, a model keeper of the home, adorned with that inward adorning, a meek and quiet spirit. She was laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery. We sorrow, not as those who have no hope, but because we shall see her face on earth no more. The writer spoke words of comfort to the bereaved. --- E. L. Whitaker, Gospel Advocate, June 28, 1928, page 624.
