The venerable Revolutionary Patriot and veteran Christian gentleman, George H. King, Esq., full of years, and ripe for Heaven, passed away from earth to the "rest that remains for the people of God," on the 24th ult. aged 36 years and 4 months.  Mr. King was born July 25th, 1762, near Mount Washington, Conn., where he resided until he was 29 years of age.  He then went to Cambridge, in this State [NY], and remained there four years, when he removed to the wilderness of Chenango County, 53 years ago last March, and located himself in that section of Norwich long known as King's Settlement, and on the farm where he died.  Young as he was, he took part in the glorious Revolutionary struggle, and while the issue yet hung in doubt, he consecrated himself in the service of the world's Redeemer, and during 70 years, in a most exemplary manner adorned the profession of our Holy Christianity.  Having lived through a long succession of years, contented, peaceful, happy, respected, honored, loved and revered, he looked forward to the approaching close of life with dignified composure, and finally received the summons to depart with absolute resignation to the Divine behest.  He "fell asleep" in possession of unwavering hope of the resurrection of the body and eternal life.  The introductory item of his last Will, may fitly close this humble tribute to his memory:  "I resign my soul into the hands of Almighty God, hoping and trusting in the remission of my sins, by the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ; and my merits and mediation of Jesus Christ; and my body I commit to the earth, to be buried at the discretion of my Executors."  "Peace to his memory."  [Dec. 6, 1848]
