John Ira Parcel ran a "hack" between Ashmore and Westfield, running twice a day, in the days before trains came to Westfield. When the roads were too muddy for a horse and buggy, he would go on horseback or his son would walk. (Article by the Clark County Genealogical Society)
Saturday evening, we received a telegram announcing the death at 3:30 that afternoon of John Ira Parcel or "Uncle Ira" as he was familiarly known. Mr. Parcel had been ailing for nearly a year and many times it was thought death was at hand, but he always rallied, and then for a few days or weeks would be apparently as well as ever. But the end came Saturday and he passed peacefully away, surrounded by weeping relatives and friends. (Clark County Herald, September 11, 1889)
