Andrew Mitchell King

1834-1918

Andrew Mitchell King 1836-1918 and wife Lavina Mihm 1839-1888

Andrew Mitchell King was born on 4 Nov 1834 in Franklin County, Ohio. The date of birth on Andrews headstone states 1836. I use the date 1834 which appears on his death certificate though it does look smudged like their could have been confusion at the time. The information was given by his daughter Mary (King) Mottinger. Each census record I have him on gives a different birth year. I'm not 100% sure which is correct, use your discretion. He was the son of Josias King 1809-1946 and Elizabeth Dague 1813-1878. Andrew married Lavina Mihm 1839-1922, on 30 Dec 1856 in Van Wert County, Ohio (#2385).  Andrew's brother Amasa King 1832-1870 married Lavina's sister Catherine Mihm 1835-1818. Lavina and Catherine were daughters of Valentine Mihm 1799-1861 and Rachel Holben 1796-1892. Andrew Mitchell King died on 4 Aug 1918 (#2053). He and wife Lavina are buried in Riverside Cemetery, Mercer County, Ohio.
