Career

She was a literary woman and one of the personal correspondents of the English poet Eliza Cook. Her connection with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) brought her a respectability in the Cambridge Branch of the LDS Church.Шаблон:Sfn
Utah
King's poems suggest her love of exalted subjects and noble characters. She was enchanted with the part of Queen Isabella and the mission of Columbus. She wished that she could be an Isabella and find and fund a Columbus.Шаблон:Sfn
King created pieces for the Polysophical Society of Salt Lake, founded by Eliza and Lorenzo Snow,Шаблон:Sfn as well as other societies and the press. An admirer of the English poet Eliza Cook, King indulged her feelings mainly in that direction, publishing in 1879, Songs of the Heart.Шаблон:Sfn
The Juvenile Instructor contained many of her most sympathetic writings for children and the youth of Utah. In the pages of the Woman's Exponent, her work was in a different field. Tullidge's Magazine contained her historical prose contributions.Шаблон:Sfn
King wrote of Ferdinand and Isabella, of Columbus, Salvator Rosa and Disraeli, Napoleon and Josephine, Victoria and Elizabeth, the last of whom she somewhat resembled at times in an imperious manner, though her usual mode was one of sympathy, and her nature, one capable of enduring attachment, and unfaltering love. The women of Scripture was also a theme of hers for thought; she published a volume on this topic. In the line of poetry, she considered the "Epic" of the Gospel as her crowning work.Шаблон:Sfn
Personal life
She married Thomas Owen King Sr. (1800–1874) in 1824,Шаблон:Sfn and they came to Utah in 1853 with Claudius V. Spencer Company. Of their ten children, only four survived into adulthood:Шаблон:Sfn Georgina (b. 1830), Louisa (b. 1833), Bertha Mary, Thomas Owen, Jr. (b. 1840).Шаблон:Sfn
As her husband was not a member of the LDS Church which held that she could only secure salvation through sealing with a "righteous man", this occurred in 1872 with Brigham Young. Two years later, after the death of Thomas, whom King had continued to live with, Young sent a gift to King of flour, cornmeal, flour, sago and sugar.Шаблон:Sfn She had been pleased to sit beside and dance with Young in 1856, but the sealing was an intention for a life together after death.[2]
She died in Salt Lake City on 25 September 1886.Шаблон:Sfn
