H.H. Parker

Mr. H.H. Parker, brother of A.M. Parker and Mrs. Annie Slates, of this place, died at his home in Altoona yesterday shortly after noon. Yesterday's Altoona Evening Mirror contained the following account of the deceased:
The many friends of former Common Councilman H.H. Parker will be shocked to learn that he passed away at his home 102 East Second avenue, at 12:45 today. While he had been quite ill for a week past, his death was entirely unexpected by his family and physicians, as he had rallied sufficiently to sit up in his room and expected to be about in a few days. He had been subject to attacks of hear trouble, caused by hardening arteries, for several years, and had not been very active in business for that time, but was feeling quite well in recent months and was taken sick while superintending a building operation near his home about one week ago, and was hauled home by a passing driver.
Mr. Parker was born in Huntingdon county, on September 18, 1848, and early in life learned the art of carpentering trade with his uncle, John Stonerod, of Birmingham. He came to this city about thirty-five years ago and entered into partnership with his brother, D.E. parker, and the late John G. Kline, later being senior member of the firm of Parker Brothers, contractors and builders, of Juniata.
For many years he was one of the most prominent building contractors of the city and created many of the fine structures and innumerable dwellings. While he was a shrewd and able businessman, no kindlier soul ever lived, and his perennial good humor was proverbial among his associates. He always found time for every social duty and his visit to a sick room was like a ray of sunshine. He never found time to complain of his own suffering, and though in recent years his frail body was racked with pain, he always had a smiling face for everyone with whom he came in contact. There is no man, woman or child with whom he ever associated who will not regret his loss, and his departure will be almost as deeply mourned by his neighbors as by his immediate family.
He was a Christian in whom there was no guile, and for many years he was one of the pillars of the First Church of God of this city, where his counsel will be missed and the loss of his genial presence keenly felt. He was always interested in good government, and though never an office seeker, his neighbors by common consent elected him to common council in 1900, where he served one term.
Thiry-seven years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Kate Hostler, who survives him, as do two sons, Harry, of this city and Jesse of Juniata. He is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: D.E. and Oliver of Juniata, Albert and Mrs. Annie Slates of Mapleton, Mrs. Mary Comstock and Mrs. Laura Smith of Altoona.

CAME TO JUNIATA CIRCA 1813. WORKED WITH HIS BROTHER, DAVID PARKER AT KLINE,
PARKER AND CO. CHURCHED AT FIRST CHURCH OF GOD.

Hiram married Hostler, Kate on 23 Dec 1873. Kate was born in Pennsylvania, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

ROBERT PARKER
Robert Parker, whose illness has been mentioned in these columns, died of heart trouble at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Annie Slates, in this place at 10 o'clock Tuesday evening, October 25, 1892. His remains were interred in Mountain View Cemetery, Thursday afternoon, services being conducted by Rev. A.W. Maxwell.
Mr. Parker was born in Centre county, November 16, 1813, hence was at the time of his death 78 years, 11 months, and 9 days. He was married to Miss Mary C. Robley, September 3, 1835.
They commenced housekeeping at Spruce Creek, lived some time in Mifflin county and in 1863 moved to Smith valley, where Mrs. Parker died August 20, 1880. In 1882 he broke up housekeeping and with his daughter Annie spent a year in the West. Two sisters- Mrs. Catharine Clark, of Bellwood, and Mrs. Reuben Dittsworth, of Neff's Mills--and eight of his children survive him. The children are William, of Iowa, Mrs. Annie Slates and Albert M., of Mapleton; Hiram, Mrs. Mary Comstock, Oliver, and David, of Altoona, and Mrs. Laura Smith, of Cass township.
Mr. Parker was a good citizen and a devout Christian man. When convinced that a thing was right nothing could swerve him. This is illustrated by his convictions on the prohibition question. He was opposed to the rum traffic and for years only one prohibition vote was polled at each election in Union township and everybody who knew him knew it was Robert Parker's vote. A few days before his death his pastor asked him, " Well, father, how is it now, down along the river?" His reply was,"Oh, that's all right; I fixed that matter many years ago." Such a man would naturally be greatly missed in any community. The friends, who are thankful for the kindness shown them during Mr. Parker's long illness, have the sympathy of the community.
