They also remember that Leslie divided his time between Riverton and Glendale , California , the location where his parents had retired .”
5 . Although the Kings enjoyed a prosperous life , they were not exempt from tragedy . Their daughter Sevilla ’ s death was reported in the October 19 , 1921 edition of The Riverton Review .

Sevilla was the Kings ’ first child together .
6 . The new vehicle was evidently purchased with money ($ 50,000 ) King had recently inherited from his father .
