Educator.
Born in Ontario on 8 May 1880, son of Henry King (1854-1923) and Caroline King (1855-?), he grew up at Oshawa and became a teacher in his twenties. Moving west, was Principal of Miami School (1906-1907) and taught at Dauphin Collegiate (1908-1911) and Brandon Collegiate Institute (1911-1921). While at Dauphin, he was President of the Dauphin Collegiate Institute Athletic Club. On 25 July 1908, he married Helen McKenzie (1884-?) at Winnipeg and had a son, Harry Alexander McKenzie King (1911-?). He resigned from Brandon Collegiate in July 1921 and move to Saskatchewan around January 1923 to teach at the Regina Collegiate Institute (1923), returning to Oshawa that summer for the death of his father, and may have remained there. His later whereabouts are not yet determined.
