Rev. C. A. Parson
The death occurred yesterday afternoon, at his residence, 279 Darling Street [Brantford, Ontario], of Rev. C.A. Parson, a retired minister of the Baptist church. Deceased, who was in his 79th year, was a native of Otterville, and entered the ministry as a young man under the auspices of the Home Mission Board. His initial efforts consisted of colporteur work in the Algoma and Muskoka districts, mainly among the lumber camps. After laborious exertions in this regard he next went to Quebec and had charge of churches at Papineauville, St. Emedie and North Nation Mills. Returning to Ontario he had charges in Oil Springs, Watford, Marshville, Decewsville, Marchmont, Lobo, Onondaga and Alvinston. He was a man who labored most conscientiously in the vineyard of the Master, and he was much beloved by all with whom he came in contact. He retired some 14 years ago to enjoy a well-earned rest and had since lived in this city. To mourn his loss he leaves a sorrowing widow, five daughters and two sons, Mrs. D. Pettit [i.e. Ethel Bell Parson], Brantford; Mrs. W.E. Mino [i.e. Mary Anne Parson], Brantford; Mrs. J.F. Zimmerman [i.e. Alma May Parson], Collingwood; Mrs. W. Blackwell [i.e. Nora Skillings Parson], London; and Mrs. C.N. Clark [i.e. Nina Barbara Parson], Orillia; Walter, Windsor; Clarence, Petrolia. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon, to Otterville.
