Horatio's last name is spelled both Parcels and Parcells. His father's name on his tombstone is Parcels. In Horatio's obituary it is Parcells.
Horatio Sutton Parcels was the son of William Henry Parcels, Sr. and Catherine Thomas (Ferguson) Parcels who were natives of Kentucky. Horatio's parents married in 1912 and had 9 known children while they were still living in Kentucky. Horatio's known siblings were:
Elizabeth Parcels 1814-1814
William Henry Parcels, Jr. 1815-1898
Thomas Beider Parcels 1817-1893
John Ferguson Parcels 1820-1859
Edwin Winship Parcels, Sr. 1822-1912
Elizabeth Catherine Parcels 1824-
Robert Miller Parcels 1827-1902
James Peter Parcels 1833-
In December of 1838, Horatio's parents left Kentucky with one daughter and 6 of their 7 sons (including Horatio), headed for northern Missouri where they had relatives or friends. They stopped in Charleston, Illinois, for the winter, then continued on their journey in the spring. They arrived in Adair County, Missouri, in the middle of April, 1839. They established a home in the forest, 3 miles below Sloans' Point on the west side of the Chariton River. Familes named Salisbury lived in this area and the Parcels home was near the Salisbury School. These families also established the Parcels Salisbury Cemetery in the area.
Sadly, Horatio's father only got to enjoy his new home in this frontier for a little over a year. William Henry Parcels, Sr. died on July 26, 1840 and was buried in the Parcels Salisbury Cemetery in Adair County, Missouri.
Horatio was only 10 years old at the time of his father's death. The oldest Parcels son, William Henry, Jr., was age 25 and was newly married to Eliza Jane (Miller) as of May 1840. He took charge of the family, living with his mother and siblings and insuring that his siblings went to school and got as good an education as this area could offer.
When the town of Kirksville, Missouri, was organized east of the Chariton River and chosen as the county seat, William Henry Parcels, Jr. moved the family to that town and opened a small store. In 1849, William went to California in the gold rush, but returned to Kirksville in 1851. He then opened a much larger general merchandise store in Kirksville and entered politics. He was both a successful businessman and a State Representive. He purchased a large mansion and grounds northeast of Kirksville, Missouri, which was referred to as the Parcels Mansion or the Parcels Plantation. His mother continued to live with him until her death in 1884.
William Henry Parcels, Jr. and wife Eliza had 10 children, and one of their sons who was born in 1851 they named Horatio Parcels, presumably after his Uncle Horatio.
On December 4, 1856, Horatio Parcels (the subject of this memorial) married Sarah Ellen Thomas in Adair County, Missouri. In the 1860 Census they were living in Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri, had no children, had one domestic servant, and Horatio was Post Master. He had a sizable value in real estate and personal property at this time, exceeded on his census page only by his brother Thomas B. Parcels who at age 42 was already a retired merchant.
Horatio and Sarah Parcels had the following known children:
John T. Parcels 1861-
Charles S. Parcels 1864-1910 (died in Santa Barbara, CA)
Milton L. Parcels 1866-1924 (died in Imperial, CA)
On July 1, 1863, a list was made of men eligible for the Civil War draft. Horatio Parcels was on this list from the 8th Congretional District of Missouri which included Adair County. This list showed he was married with the occupation of merchant. However, in the last column, it stated, "Stricken from the list Dec. 22, 1863 by order of the Board Enlistment because of non-residence." Horatio and his family had moved to Illinois in about 1862.
After their first child John was born in 1861 and before 1863, Horatio and his family moved to Illinois. There, their next two sons, Charles and Milton, were born. By 1870 they had moved to Los Angeles, California.
1870 Census of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California:
Horatio Parcels 40, farmer, born Kentucky
Sarah E. Parcels 36, born Ohio
John T. Parcels 9, born Missouri
Charles S. Parcels 7, born Illinois
Milton L. Parcels 4, born Illinois
Horatio's name appears in the Voter Registration records of Los Angeles, California in 1871, 1879, and 1884. He also appears in several Los Angeles City Directories. In 1888 his occupation was Registration Clerk. In 1890 he was President of Parcels Bros, Los Angeles Abstract Co. In 1891, the year of his death, his occupation in the City Directory was real estate.
Horatio's obituary states he was suddenly struck with grip (influenza, viral infection) and died rather quickly. It does not state where he is buried but findagrave.com members, Glenn and Tracy Morrow, advised this writer that Horatio is buried in Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
