Maitland Mercury, Saturday, November 13th 1880
Death by Drowning of an old Resident of the Hunter.

"On Thursday forenoon, Mr John King, and old resident of the Morpeth district, was drowned

in the Hunter River, near Narrowgut.
"From the particulars given at the inquest held before Mr. A. Vindin, coroner, on Thursday

afternoon, it seemed that the unfortunate man had breakfast about eight o'clock that morning;

after which he went outside the house, and sat upon a log. The daughter-in-law had occasion to

leave the house for a few minutes, and on her return she missed the deceased.
"Enquires were made as to his whereabouts, and being unsuccessful, a search was instituted for

him. After searching about the premises the deceased's relatives went down to the river, and

there saw traces on the bank, and the deceased's hat floating in the water. The bank at this part

was steep, and close to the water's edge there were marks as is some one had slipped into the river.

Information was at once given to the police, and the body, which was floating on the water, face

downwards, some distance from where it was supposed that the deceased had fallen in, was taken out of the river.
"Dr. Howe gave it as his opinion that death resulted from drowning. A verdict of accidentally

drowned was recorded. The deceased was over ninety years of age, and has been very childish

lately (note: last few words of article are missing).
