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.
