Abstract:

Henry T. King, the son of Thomas and Martha A. King, was born near Farmville on November 9, 1861. In 1889, he became one of Pitt County's first journalists. His first newspaper was The Carolina Banner, followed shortly thereafter by The Index. He ended his newspaper publishing with his more widely known King's Weekly. In 1895, he began collecting relics, especially Confederate money. By December 1898, he listed an inventory of all the historical items he had collected. The collection's whereabouts is a mystery.
