Walter Benjamin King and

Effie Lee Polk King

This is a picture taken in 1911 of Walter Benjamin King (born Nov. 26, 1876, died Feb. 8, 1929) and Effie Lee Polk King (born Sept. 16, 1891, died Feb. 18, 1979). I believe the picture was taken at Cold Water, Louisiana. Walter was born in Jena and moved back when his father Benjamin King died.

The child in Effie's lap is Lois Loraine King (born Aug. 13, 1911 died Mar. 12, 1986) The boy standing is Walter Lowell King, my father (born Jan. 3, 1910 died June 22, 1960. The Kings lived in Jena until their death and they were the owners of the Jena Bottling Works in Jena.
