David James Kingsley, son of Frederick [William] and Mary [Ann Beatty] Kingsley, was born at Cascade, Iowa on November 21, 1881. He spent his boyhood in Cascade, moving to Sharpsburg, Iowa with his parents as a young man in 1907. In 1908 they moved to Bedford and he lived the remainder of his life on the same farm.
On December 28, 1915 he was united in marriage to Ethel Ovinda [Trumbo] Kingsley. They spent their entire happy married life of 50 years on the same farm 2 ½ miles east of Bedford, and to their union two daughters were born.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, one sister and one granddaughter.
He is survived by his wife, Ethel; two daughters, Doris Morrison and husband, Cecil of Corning, Iowa and Dorothy Reed and husband Ernest of Hazelton, Idaho; five grandchildren; six great grandchildren; other relatives and friends.
Dave has always been very proud of his grandchildren and his great grandchildren.
Dave was a member of the First Baptist Church of Bedford for 60 years, and during that time had several church offices, including 24 years as deacon. He loved the church and he was happy when he could be of service to it. He and his wife attended faithfully and supported the church in many ways.
Dave was always generous and never expected anything in return. He was a kind, loving husband and father and will be sadly missed by his family and friends
