Joseph S. Parrott Died Saturday at the Age of 86 Years
Jos. S. Parrott, 86, a resident of Novesta Township for 45 years and of Cass City for the past eight years, died Saturday night [October 5, 1946] in Pleasant Home Hospital where he had been a patient since Thursday evening. Mr. Parrott suffered injuries in an auto accident September 3 and after seemingly having recovered from his injuries, developed a heart condition which grew worse.
A prayer service was held in his home at 11 a.m. Tuesday and funeral services at 2 p.m. from the Little Funeral Home. Rev. G.C. Guilliat, pastor of the Mennonite Churches, officiated and burial was in Elkland Cemetery.
He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Parrott and was born May 25, 1860, in Essex County, Canada. At the age of 21 he accompanied his parents to the Shabbona community. In July, 1887, at Cass City he married Arta Keyworth. Following their marriage, they lived at Shabbona and Holbrook for six years and in 1893 bought a farm in Novesta Township, southwest of town. Mr. Parrott operated saw mills for many years and devoted the later years to farming from which he retired eight years ago. For many years he attended both Mennonite and Methodist churches.
Surviving are his widow; one daughter, Mrs. Harry Talmadge of Sandusky; three sons, William of Cass City, Rev. Earl Parrott of Belleville, and Kent of Port Huron; eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Dunlap of Shabbona, and Mrs. Leroy Ormsby of Tower; and a brother, Abraham Parrott of Alpena.
A son, Glen, died in 1914 at the age of 14 years.
