Henry G. King (1792-1859)

Years Appointed: 1830 (Junior); 1831 (Senior)

Period of service: 1830–1832

Rev. Henry G. King was born in 1792 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and found Christ at a home prayer meeting where he was deeply convicted of sin. He later wrote, “My heart was broken in pieces; I cried unto the Lord in my distress, and he delivered me out of all my troubles. My mind was enlightened and my heart was changed, and I left the house rejoicing in God my Savior.” He soon developed “an inextinguishable desire for the salvation of souls,” and became an itinerant preacher with the Philadelphia Conference in 1819. King was described as “truly eloquent in both prayer and sermon… [and] a special favorite of the children.” He took up residence in Aston, Delaware County, Pennsylvania permanently in 1851, first spending three years there as a supply preacher on leave of absence, then two years in charge of the local circuit, 1854-1856. The tragic, accidental death of his 14-year old son in 1858 “was a calamity more than he could bear,” and his health rapidly declined; Rev. King died in May 1859. By Rev. Joseph DiPaolo
