MRS. ALBERT M. PARKER
Mrs. Emma Blanche Parker, wife of A.M. Parker, died at her home, corner of Sherman and Main streets, Mapleton, at 6:15 o'clock, Tuesday evening, August 11, 1908, of dropsy, resulting from asthma and heart trouble.
Mrs. Parker was a daughter of the late William and Margaret Hines and was born at Allegheny Furnace, Blair County, April 26, 1850, being at the time of her death ages 58 years, 3 months and 15 days. In 1851 her parents moved to Bell's Furnace in Shirley township and about 1860 moved to the lock north of Mapleton where they subsequently died. November 22, 1866, she was united in marriage to Albert M. Parker and her married life has all been spent in Mapleton. To them were born three sons and two daughters all of whom survive. They are Mrs. John G. Gillam, of Huntingdon, WIlliam A. and Arthur F. of Juniata, L. Lloyd and Mrs. Alda Hohman, of Mapleton.
About thirty-six years ago Mrs. Parker became a subject of asthmatic troubles from which she has since been a constant sufferer. Heart trouble resulted and dropsy ensued. ABout three years ago she had nervous prostation and during the past two years has been unable to leave her home. At times her sufferings were intense but through it all she was more concerned about the welfare of others than for herself. She was a stranger to selfishness and when her strength was needed to sustain her she was spending it in planning for the welfare and comfort of those she deemed more unfortunate. It would be impossible to conceive a stronger devotion on the part of a wife and mother than was characteristic of Mrs. Parker and it gratifying to note that this attachment was an unselfishly reciprocated. Many friends who have been the objects of her solicitous benefactions now rise to call her blesses, and mingle their tears with those of her immediate family in mourning the death of this good woman.
The remains will be interred in Mountain View Cemetary to-morrow afternoon. Services conducted by Rev. T. H. McLeod, assisted by Rev. J.H. Ake will be held at her late home at two o'clock.
