One of the physicians and surgeons of Lakewood who has gained prestige in his profession and deserved personal popularity is Dr. Hubert C. King, who is descended from a pioneer family of the Western Reserve. His grandfather, Zadok King, a native of Suffield, Connecticut, and descended from "Mayflower" stock, came to the Western Reserve in early pioneer days, making the long journey by wagon and bringing with him his family, household effects and farming implements. He bought land on which the present little City of Chardon now stands, then a forest. There he cleared his land, improved and cultivated it for many years, and there he died. King Street of Chardon was named in honor of his memory.
Dr. King was born in Collinwood on August 14, 1889, and was graduated from high school in 1907. He was graduated from Adelbert College of Western Reserve University, Bachelor of Arts, with the class of 1911, and from Western Reserve University Medical School, Doctor of Medicine, with the class of 1914. He served as interne at Lakeside Hospital during the following summer and winter, and then went abroad and took post-graduate work in the hospitals of London and Vienna, and following his return he entered general practice in Lakewood, now specializing in internal medicine. He is serving as physician in charge of the department of medicine on the staff of Lakewood Hospital.
He is a member of the Cleveland Academy of Medicine, Ohio State Medical Association, of Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Rho Sigma college fraternities, and of Lakewood Lodge, Free and accepted Masons, Cunningham Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Holy Grail Commandery Knights Templar, Al Koran Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and of Valley of Cleveland, Lake Erie Consistory (thirty-second degree) Scottish Rite. He is also a member of Lakewood Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. King married Hattie Barnum, who was born in North Olmsted, Cuyahoga County, the daughter of George N. and Hattie (Fitch) Barnum, and to them have been born a daughter and son: Lois Mae, born April 14, 1916, and Fenton Dan, born February 27, 1923.
