Dr. Parberry Passed Peacefully Away on Sunday After a Long Month of Suffering
White Sulphur Springs, Oct. 12 - At the bedside of an old pioneer of this state and county were his wife and nephews, Dr. T.H. Hampton and William Shaw, and his nieces Misses Cynthia and Mathilda Hampton and Mrs. James Wood.
Dr. Parberry was one of the rich men of this section of the state, but had disposed of a large portion of his estate before he died. He had been ill for some time past. A year ago he fell from the grand stand at Red Lodge while witnessing a baseball game and he never fully recovered from the shock. His leg was broken in the accident, but the general effect of the fall was rather upon his nervous system, which owing to his advanced age, was unable to recover quickly. A month ago, in company with Dr. Hampton of Helena, his nephew, he went to Chicago to consult a specialist. There he was told he was suffering from an aneurysm of the heart and enlargement of the liver and that medical science could be of no avail. When the verdict of the doctors had been rendered, Dr. Parberry returned to this city and began to dispose of his property among those he had desired to be his heirs. This had long been the desire of himself and Mrs. Parberry. For the past two weeks he had been confined to his bed and for the last few days his death had been hourly expected.
Dr. Parberry was born March 12, 1833, in Kentucky. While he was a boy his parents moved to Jefferson City, Missouri. He received his medical education in Philadelphia and after graduation from this college he left for the state of his adoption and practiced there for a time. In 1865, he came to Montana, locating at Bannack, where he practiced medicine and engaged in mining. In 1872, he was married to Mathilda Hampton in Leighton, Alabama. He located in White Sulphur Springs in 1877, purchasing the springs property from James Brewer, the original owner and locator. A few years later he gave up his practice to devote his entire time to his business interests, which were growing rapidly. He as a different times largely interested in sheep in Meagher, Sweet Grass and Fergus counties. He was also a large owner in real estate of this city. He started the original townsite, which he sold in 1883 to a company for $30,000. At the time of his death, Mr. Parberry was the president of and large stockholder in the First National Bank of Sulphur Springs. He was treasurer of this county for a long period. He was a member of the territorial council, of the constitutional convention, and later on of the first state senate. He was one of the charter members of Diamond City lodge of Masons and its first worshipful master, under dispensation.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mathilda Parberry, one brother, James of Colorado; and two sister, Mrs. Shaw of Oregon and Mrs. Small of Kansas City, Missouri.
The death of Dr. Parberry will cause general grief in the community. He had lived here many years and had become noted for his many genial qualities. He was a leader in charitable work. Many young boys and girls owe their educations to his generosity. He was a main of kindly traits, and a benevolent disposition. He had no enemies.
