JENNIE HAMMERS-PARKER

Jennie Hammers-Parker passed away at her home in Clearwater, June 10, 1952. She was 85 years of age.

She was born June 2, 1867 on a farm near Butler, Missouri. Her parents were Samuel and Melissa Hammers. Shortly before her birth the family had moved from Woodford County, Illinois.

In March of 1884 she came with her parents to a farm near Clearwater. She was an accomplished musician and gave piano lessons over the south part of the County for nearly 45 years. She used to tell of riding a pony over the country giving lessons in the various homes. Sometimes the sudden storms would flood the creeks, forcing her to ride to the heads of the streams in order to cross.

Parker of the home; Mrs. Catherine Kikendall of Golden, Colorado; Mrs. Melissa Thompson of Denver, Colorado; Moses C., Brown Y., and Willard A. Parker of Clearwater. There are also thirteen grandchildren.
