DEATH SUMMONS CAME SUDDENLY TO CHAUTAUQUA VISITOR,
The death summons suddenly came to Mr. Thompson Marcus Parrish of Midway at the Rogers House in this city, at seven o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Parrish was a well-known citizen of Kentucky and was the picture of health when he came to Lexington Thursday night to attend the Chautauqua. He and his brother-in-law, Capt. Charles Rogers, attended the Chautauqua together. They returned to the Rogers House and the rest of the members of the family left Mr. Parrish reading a paper. Mrs. Rogers heard him fall about an hour later. Dr. Wiley was summoned and pronounced his attack apoplexy. Two physicians worked with him during the night. His three sons from Midway were notified by wire and arrived at his bedside at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Parrish died at seven o'clock.
Mr. Parrish was born in Midway in 1837 and had lived there all his life. His father was James W. Parrish, one of the founders of the Kentucky Female Orphan School. Mr. Parrish himself had been a trustee of the school for quarter of a century.
His children are Dr. Ben Parrish, Messrs. James and Isaac Parrish of Midway. A daughter Mrs. Ben Roach, of Harrodsburg, died a few years ago.

PARRISH
Mr. Thomas M. Parrish, of Midway, father-in-law of Judge B. F. Roach, died of apoplexy Friday morning at the Rogers House, Lexington. He had gone to that city the evening before and went out to the Chautauqua to enjoy the exercises. A little before midnight some one was heard to fall in the hall on the second floor. Mr. Rogers rushed out and found Mr. Parrish lying in the hall unconscious. Dr. Wiley was summoned, but medical aid was in vain. Mr. Parrish had been apparently in better health than ever in his life and had spent the Saturday and Sunday before with Judge Roach at this place. He had been active in business and had accumulated a large estate. His devotion to his children and grand-children was intense and they justly mourn him as one of the best of parents.
