Died on Wednesday, January 16th 1901, Mrs. Bettie Kearney Parker in her seventy-second year. She was born May 31st, 1829 at Huntersville, the old Kearney home, near Shocco Springs in Warren County, and was the daughter of William Kinchen Kearney and Maria Alston Kearney.
In 1856 the deceased was united in marriage to Jacob Parker, of Murfreesboro, N.C., with whom she lived long and happily. Her devoted husband and loving children are left to mourn her loss, and to these bereaved ones the hearts of our people go out in deepest sympathy.
Always gentle, always patient, always kind, truly may her children and her hot of friends “arise up and call her blessed,” for there never yet has lived a more loving mother, a more devoted wife or a truer friend. No eulogy from my pen can fittingly portray the many virtues and good qualities of the deceased, but the effects of her pure Christian life, as she daily lived it among us, will be seen and felt in this community long after the hand that pens these lines shall have crumbled into dust.
The funeral services were conducted at the Episcopal Church by the Rector, Rev. Benjamin S. Bronson, and the remains were interred in Fairview Cemetery. T. Polk
