Ephraim, UT-Samuel Arthur King (Art), beloved husband, father, grandfath e r, brother, and friend left this mortal world surrounded by loved one s o n Thursday, September 4, 2014, at the age of 96. Art was born in Spri ng C ity, Utah on April 15, 1918, to Emily Ann Haefeli and Christian Alon zo Ki ng. He married Ruth Wood on September 27, 1939, in the Manti Templ e and s ettled in Ephraim, Utah. Art and Ruth raised four wonderful daugh ters, Ru th Diane King (Ron), Kathy King Frischknecht (Steve), Judy Kin g Larsen (N ed), and Peggy King Kooyman (Keith), who into adulthood lovin gly referre d to him as "Daddy."

Art was mild-mannered, had an even temperament, and respected and look e d for good in everyone he met. He was a dedicated man and provider wh o ad ored his family, was a hard-working dairy farmer, an amazing storyte ller , and a prolific world traveler. Growing up in the West, Art loved t he ro mance of Hollywood Westerns, including John Wayne and Clint Eastwoo d clas sics, Bonanza, and the Virginian. He lived a cowboy' s life, avidl y raisi ng cattle, riding horses, hunting deer in the great outdoors, an d never l eaving home without his bona fide cowboy boots and hat. As a te enager, Ar t worked as a cook on the construction site of the WPA Ephrai m Tunnel an d as a miner in Dividend, Utah. He and his sweetheart, Ruth , began thei r life together with very little. Art began farming with a m eager six cow s, a team of horses, a plow, a wagon, a milk separator, an d mortgaged hi s car for a down payment on 20 acres and water shares sout hwest of Ephrai m. As an established farmer he was granted an agricultur e deferment as Am erica entered WWII, working all day on the farm and sup porting the war ef fort at home by laboring on the graveyard shift, drivi ng the bus, shuttli ng workers to and from the parachute plant in Manti . Through much sacrifi ce, hard work, and thriftiness, Art and Ruth mad e a wonderful home togeth er with their four girls. Art continued to far m into his 80s and King Dai ry continues to prosper almost 8 decades late r.

He served in many service capacities including, the Water Conservancy Di s trict Board, the Utah Dairy Association, and as President of the Ephra i m Irrigation Company. In 2010, Art was honored by his community as a Ca nd lelight A ward Recipient. He used his wisely invested retirement to tr ave l the world, making his way to many countries throughout Asia, Austra lia , Russia, Nepal, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. He saw more changes in h is 9 6 years than any other generation in history have experienced. Fro m his f irst car, a Model T Ford, to flying over Mount Everest, Art exper ienced h ow technology drastically altered modern life.

In his later years, and following the death of his dear wife Ruth, he w a s fortunate to be reacquainted with his teenage friend, Bernice, who m h e had not seen for 70 years. Being the same age, they were able to vi si t frequently, keeping each other company, reminiscing about times gon e by . The family wishes to thank all those who attended to Art during hi s dec lining health in recent years. We will miss his time less dimpled s mile , his soft-spoken voice, his loving spirit, and the twinkle in his e yes . We love you Grandpa King!
