Caroline Klink Parsell, daughter of Christian and Mary Klink, was born near Republic, in Seneca county, Ohio, December 5, 1830, and passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Crain, in Angola, Indiana, April 11, 1922, at the age of 91 years, 4 months and 6 days.
She came to Steuben county with her parents October 15, 1847 and settled on Section 12, Salem township on the farm now owned by Chester C. Klink.
In her father's family there were nine children, three sons and six daughters, Lousia, John, Caroline, Christiana, Catherine, Michael, Mary, Elizabeth and Eli, of whom Mrs. Catherine Brown, aged 88, and Mrs. Elizabeth Parsell, aged 81, survive.
On February 6, 1853, she was united in marriage with Thomas B. Parsell and immediately commenced housekeeping on the farm now owned by her son George, and which has been home to her for over 69 years. In this home were born four children, Charles C., who died at the age of eleven months, John B. Parsell, Mrs. Mary E. Crain, and George T. Parsell, all of Angola.
On March 10th, 1872, the husband and father died, leaving to her the management and care of the farm and family which responsibility and duty she bravely accepted and ably performed. In her girlhood days she learned to spin and weave wool and flax and from these materials, with her own hands, made practically all of the necessities. She was always active and helpful in every project for the family clothing and other household good of an individual, a home or the community; always a very busy woman, yet she always found time each day to read her Bible. She was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Salem and was the oldest in age and duration of membership. She loved her family, the community, and the church, and the impress of her character and the example of her life will live forever.
Funeral services were held Friday morning, April 14th, at the old farm home, conducted by Rev. John Humfreys, of Angola, and John E. Jones, of Salem. Burial at Flint.
