Death notices -
Wm. Parrish, an old and respected citizen of Jackson twp., and pioneer of Palding county, died of smallpox last Monday morning.
The circumstances of his death are very sad, as the children and friends were not permitted to visit him duringhis sickness, or to pay the last sad tributes of respect as we are informed.
Wm. Parrish, aged about 70 years, died at his home near Hedges Monday of smallpox. The remains were buried in the cemetery nearby sometime during the same day. He had been sick for about two weeks and was considered nearly out of danger from the dread disease, when he took a sudden turn for the worse and died soon afterward.
Obituary -
William Parrish, the deceased was born in Crawford county, Ohio, Oct. 1 1830 and died at his home in Paulding county March 17, 1902 aged 72 years 3 months and 16 days. The subject of this sketch was the son of JOhn and Sarah Parrish. He went with his parents to Putnam county, Ohio in the year 1836 when that county was a dense forest., they settled down on 160 acres in a log cabin to hugh out a home quite a few miles from any other white family.
The deceased was united in marriage to Lucritia Comer in Putnam county in July 1858, to this union was born three sons and three daughters one of which preceded him to the better land. The wife died in 1870 leaving him with five children. In 1872 he moved to Paulding county and purchased the present home which was then in its wild state. On Nov. 29th 1873 he was united in marriage with Mellisa Shisler and to this union were born three sons and one daughter all of whom are still living. He leaves a wife, five sons, four daughters, two brothers and one sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
He united with the U.B. church during the winter of 1877 under the administration of Rev. R. Gear and has always remained an active worker and a true christian. He was baptized in the summer of 1896 in the Auglaize river at Charloe. We believe that he had complied with the word of God as to the conditions of salvation, he was conscious all through his sickness and knew the time was nearing for him to die, he called the family that was present ot his bed and said he was sorry to leave them but he was going home to rest and bid them all a last farewell. The remains were laid to rest in the Boholtz cemetery March 17, funeral services were held at Blue Creek Sunday morning May 18th 1902 by Rev. H.P. Bucher of Van Wert, Ohio.
Farewell husband, father dear, they loss to us is great but in heaven we hope to meet you when partings are no more.
