Besides the five children, deceased is also survived by thirty -one grandchildren, fifty- one great grandchildren, three great great grandchildren, and one brother, DJ. HO. Rose of New field, New York.
The life of "grandma" Parker covered a long and useful span, and many there are who could truly "rise up and call her blessed" for the many helpful acts and kindly ministrations she performed from the earliest pioneer days down to quite recent years.
Funeral services were conducted at the house Monday afternoon, Rev. Cook of Hancock, Officiating, and interment was made in the family lot of Fish Lake cemetery.
