Obituary from Minutes, Book 2, Friendship Baptist Church of Anna, TX: "In memory of Sister Hannah C. Parris, nee Gould, who was born in Rhode Island July 11, 1831. / She moved to Alton, Ill., in 1837, and was married there to Thaddeus Parris, Nov. 26, 1848. With her husband, she immigrated to Texas in 1851, and settled at what is now known as Jamison, Grayson County. Afterward they moved to Farmington and about 1860 she united with the church there and was baptized by Rev. T.B. McCombs. / In 1866 Sister Parris moved to Highland with her family, and in December of that year united with old Friendship, now (1903) Anna Baptist Church. In November 1871, her husband was called to his reward. She was left with six children, four sons and two daughters. / Although deprived of her husband, she met her heavy responsibilities with a Christian firmness which allowed her to bring up her children in the Christian nurture to be intelligent and useful men and women - two of them becoming deacons in the Baptist church. / Sister Parris was a close reader of the Scriptures, thoroughly consecrated to the cause of religion and deeply imbued with the great Baptist principles. She was ever punctual in her attendance at worship and the Sunday school. / After a widowed life of 32 years with Jesus as her Companion, having made full preparation for her departure, she was gathered to the saints' home May 8, 1903. Committee: C.H. Wysong, J.B. Lair, T.A.Parris. {addendum} Sister Parris, before she died, arranged that her home in Anna, where now (1940) Glen Baldwin lives, be given to the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, the proceeds of the sale to be devoted to the preaching of the gospel in the foreign field."
