Obituary from the Bedford Free Press, dated January 10, 1924
Mrs. A. Parrish Dead
Susan S. Paul was born in Morgan County, Indiana, March 27, 1840. She came to the end of the earthly journey January 8, 1924, at the age of 83 years, 9 months and 11 days.
She was married to Wm. M. Denney on Feb. 2, 1858. To this union one daughter was born, now Mrs. Laura Douglass. Mr. Denney died in September 1861.
She was married to Addison A. Parrish on Nov. 19, 1865. Together they have walked the pathway for more than 58 years. To this union three children were born, Mrs. Lloyd Payton [Inez], Wm. M. Parrish and Mrs. C. [harles] S. [idney] Bates [Adelle]. The grandchildren are Paul, Alice, Eula and Dean Parrish; Alice, Howard and Jessie Payton; Charles and Cecil Douglass and Mrs. Ethel Waterman, and Mary Susan Bates. There are 11 great grandchildren.
Sister Parrish was the last of a family of 12 children, her sister dying last spring at the age of 91 years.
She joined the Methodist Protestant church at an early age. When she was 16 years of age there was a great revival held in her father's house that lasted for four weeks. It was conducted by her Father, who was a minister of that denomination. In that meeting nearly all the young people of the community were converted. It was in this meeting that she made her decision for the Master---and there was no turning back. She moved to Clark County in that state in 1854 and her membership was with the Protestant Methodist church there until the removal of the family to Bedford. During the Pratt meeting here, in 1908,she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church under the pastorate of W. M. Dudley.
Her life was one of good cheer. She always feared that she might become a burden to those of her family and even to the last her fine courage and determination kept her up. Even the morning before her death she was singing one of the favorite hymns of her youth. She did not fear death. Life to her was precious. Christ was very precious and she has gone to be with Him.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from the Methodist church, and burial [was] in the Fairview cemetery. Rev. Talley conducted the services.
