FROM VOLCANO
Volcano, Mar. 14, 1893.
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the sad demise of our friend, Mr. Harlow Parlin of Volcano. He left his home Sunday evening, unusually happy; reached the home of R. Stewart, and partook of supper, and made the remark that he felt fine, wended his way towards his cabin, remaining for a while at McLaughlin's, from thence to the [Acme] mine, in company with Al Lane, the engineer, who kindly invited him to rest awhile at the mine. Mr. Parlin sat down on a box, and before the workmen were aware, he was clasped in the arms of death. Necessary preparations having been made, he was conveyed to his heart broken wife at Volcano. Mr. Parlin was an affectionate husband, a kind friend and neighbor, and a vacancy has been left which will cast a gloom over all. Mr. Parlin was laid to rest in the Volcano cemetery, under the auspices of the Odd Fellow's Lodge of which he was an honored member.
