Henry F. King (1840-1896)

Henry Folger King (September 18, 1840 - April 1, 1896) was a resident of West Hartford and Bellows Falls, Vermont.

King was born on September 18, 1840 in Hartford, Connecticut, as the son of Henry A. King and Roxanna Freeman Spencer. He grew up in West Hartford and served in the Civil War as a member of the 22nd Connecticut Volunteers. After the war ended in 1865, he engaged in the mining business in North Carolina for a short time. He located at Bellows Falls soon after and became manager of the Vermont Farm Machine Company, holding the position until loss of health compelled him to retire with his wife, who he met in town there and married in 1875. His heart trouble he had suffered from was ultimately the cause of death when he died on April 1, 1896 in Bellows Falls.

After his death, his piece of his father's estate in West Hartford, located on South Main Street, was inherited by his brother, James A. King, who deeded it to Frederick C. Rockwell for his ambitious Boulevard extension.
