King Dies a Prisoner Smiling Into Face of Wife
Cardenio F. King died at Bridgewater State Farm after years of prison life and failed pardons. His wife Molly and four sons Cardenio Jr Henry Ralph and Frank faced the tragedy with quiet courage as doctors confirmed the malady from which he suffered. The family awaited a pardon that never came and King’s final moments were spent with his mother and wife at his side. He whispered the word Mamma as he faded and his body was prepared for embalmment and possible cremation. The larceny conviction dated from 1909 for 25338 dollars led to the long sentence and death.
