HARRISON PARKER.
Died.---At his home, four miles south of the city, Monday, 4:30 o'clock, a. m., Feb. 18, 1901, Mr. Harrison Parker, aged 67 years, 6 months and 4 days.
The death of Harrison Parker was not a surprise to our people, nevertheless it was broadly regretted. He has had ill health for years and for several months has been bedfast, hopelessly sick, and all knew that the inevitable must transpire. He was a man possessed of more than ordinary sociability and good heartedness. Everybody liked him and knew him for a friend and one who could be relied upon. He took a deep interest in politics and enjoyed good natured argument as well as any man we ever knew. His voice will be missed by all, old and young.
He was a native of Fayette county, Ohio, and was born August 14, 1833. He came with his parents to this county in 1838, which makes him an old settler. On March 2, 1856, occurred his marriage to Miss Emaline Beckwith. The union was blessed with six children, five of whom survive, Monroe, Mrs. G. A. Yeager [sic] and Mrs. Eugene Pope, of Nodaway county, Missouri, and Mrs. H. O. Anderson and Miss Florence, who reside at home. He is also survived by two sisters.
The funeral at the Christian church Wednesday brought forth a concourse of friends of deceased. Elder Elsea conducted the services and the remains were laid to rest in LaHarpe cemetery.
