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.

Notes:

William W. Parker, son of the late Robert Parker, of this place, died at his home in Toledo, Iowa, Friday, February 26, 1897. The Tama County (Iowa) Democrat contains the following obituary:
"The community was shocked last Friday afternoon to learn that Wm. Parker had suddenly died. Mr. parker had not been feeling well at the noon hour, and while his wife observed that he did not look well, he thought that he was able to go down town as usual and said he would call on the doctor. He went directly from his home to the doctor's office where medical attendance as adminsitered and there he remained. He seemed tor evive for a short time, but about 2:30 o'clock suddenly had a relapse and died almost instantly in the presence of attendants. His death is attributed to neuralgia of the heart. While Mr. Parker's death came with such suddenness and is a severe blow to his family, it did not come without some warnings to his faithful wife who had closely observed his physical condition for some time and who knew that he occassionaly suffered from heart difficulty.
Wm. M. Parker was born at Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania, July 9, 1840. His boyhood days were spent in the community of his birth. During the Civil War he served faithfully as a member of the 16th M. Cavalry of Pennsylvania. On September 17, 1872, he was married to Miss Allie Conroy, his surviving wife. Three daughters Maude, Blanche and Bertha, survive the father as a comfort to the mother. About sixteen years ago the family moved from Pennsylvania to Lisbon, Iowa and two and a half years later came to Toledo where they have since resided. Mr. Parker was a tailor by trade and a ,an who stood high among his fellowman in the community. He was a member of the G.A.R. Post, the A.O.U.W., in which he carried a $2,000 life insurance, and of the Toledo Lodge, No. 118, A.F. & A.M.
Religiously he was a member of the Baptist church, having united with that organization in his young manhood in Altoona, Pa., and at the time of his death he was a faithful and consistent member of the church in this city. He had served as a member of the scholl board of Toledo for six years and the high esteem in which he was held by the members of the board is shown by the testimony which they have borne of his life and character in the minutes of their meeting. In every relation of life Wm. Parker sustained a high type of manhood. He was kind and faithful in his family relations and had the uppermost thought of his life seemed to be the welfare of those dependent on him. For this he planned, for this he labored unceasingly. In his death the world loses * of tits best men - best and bravest, * the fact that he was * and unobtrusive upon the world. Funeral services were conducted* last Sabbath afternoon at *. Rev. Amos Weaver of the * officiating. The text * The Baptist * appropriate music. The * Woodlawn Cemetary.

MRS. BENJAMIN SLATES

Mrs. Annie R. Slates, wife of B. F. Slates, died at her home on Spring street, Paleton at 11:40 o'clock Satruday night, January 18, 1918, of neuralgia of the heart after an illness of but a few hours duration.
Angelina Robley Slates was a daughter of the late Robert S. and Mary Robley Parker of Union township, and was born in Sinking Valley, Blair County, being at the time of her death, aged 70 years, 1 month, and 12 days. Most of her life was spent with her parents for whom she tenderly cared during their declining years. September 12, 1885, she was united in marriage to Benjamin F. Slates since which time she has lived in Mapleton.
She is survived by her husband, three step-sons, John Slates, of Conemaugh, William Slates, of Altoona, Charles Slates, of Mapleton, and also by three brothers and two sisters; D.E. and Oliver Parker, of Juniata, Mrs. Mary Comstock and Mrs. Laura M. Smith, of Altoona, and A. M. Parker, of Mapleton. She became a member of Mapleton Grange No. 1134, P. of H., at the time of it's institution and for many years has been a treasurer of the organization.
Over fifty years ago, Mrs. Slates, then Miss Parker, united with the United Brethren Class at Mapleton as on of its charter members. Since that time she has been one of the church's most steadfast and tireless workers in all parts of it's activity, especially in the Sunday School in which she has long been the teacher of the primary or beginner's class.
At the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Convention held at Philadelphia last October Mrs. Slates was among those awarded a medal for fifty-years service as an officer or teacher in the Sabbath school, and upon none was it more worthily bestowed. Her place in church and Sunday school was never vacant without good cause and she had a passion for sonls. She felt her responsibility for those about her and used her influence to win them for her Christ. Not only to win was her aim but she was as diligent to hold. Many persons to-day are active in church work who owe their place to her interest in them. She was an effective and intelligent worker who knew when and where to administer reproof or counsel and her consecrated efforts were rewarded with results. In her death the home, the church, and the community have lost a valuable assistant to the circle in which she moved.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon. Services were conducted in the U.B. church by her pastor, Rev. H.B. Ritter assisted by Rev. M.C. Piper. Interment was made in Mountain View.

Angelina married Slates, Benjamin F on 12 Sep 1885. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

SUDDEN DEATH OF A.M. PARKER
Prominent Citizen and Merchant Drops Dead in His Store

This community was subjected to another shock last Friday morning (March 2, 1917) when it became a noised upon the streets that Albert M. Parker had suddenly expired in his place of business. Mr. Parker had for some days been having some heart trouble which had been diagnosed as angina pectoris (pain of the heart) but had continued to do his work at the store. Friday morning he got up early as was his custom and started in to the day's work. About 7:40 o'clock he went out of the store and shortly after returned by the rear entrance. He leaned over the counter, placing his elbows theron and buried his face in his hands. His son and partner, Arthur F. Parker, noticing him in this position inquired if he were sick. He made no reply but nodded affirmatively. He then raised up and staggered to a stool on the opposite side of the room. Arthur, fearing he would fall, called to his wife who was also in the room, to catch him. They both hurried to his side to support him but the vital spark was extinguished just as he sat down on the stool, the time being about eight o'clock. He was carried into the house which was part of the building and laid upon a couch.
Mr. Parker was the son of Robert and Mary Robley Parker and was born in Germany Valley, Huntingdon county, July 3, 1845. At the time of his death having attained the age of 71 years, 7 months and 29 days. During the early boyhood of Albert Parker his parent's moved to Greenbriar Valley, near Atkinson's Mills in Wayne township, Mifflin county. While he was but a lad, his uncle, the late Elliot Robley, had bought and moved to the Vandevander farm north of Mapleton, and put up a crude sand crushing plant. The youth found employment with his uncle when unemployed on his father's farm. June 29, 1863, when the invasion of Pennsylvania by the confederates had begun he enlisted in Company F, 46th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia. He was then under eighteen years of age. This regiment was discharged by order of Governor Curtin, August 18, 1863. Mr. Parker returned home and September 1, 1864, re-enlisted as a private in Co. K, 9th Regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry, and participated in the "March to the Sea," and in the Grand Review at Washington. In May, 1865, he received his discharge and soon afterward resumed employment with his uncle who in the meantime had added a brick yard to the industries on the Vandevander farm. Mr. Parker assisted in making the brick for the Robley house on the farm and for the house belonging to the A.W. Swope Estate situate just across Sherman street from where he died.
November 22, 1860, Mr. Parker was united in marriage to Miss Emma B. Himes, daughter of the late William Himes, who lived at the lock north of Mapleton. They commenced housekeeping and continued to reside there for a couple years when they moved to Mapleton. Five children were born to them all of whom are living. They are: William, a foreman in the Juniata shops; Effie, wife of John G. Gillam, Huntingdon, L. Lloyd, publisher of the Mapleton Item; Arthur F., partner of his father in the mercantile business, Mapleton, and Alda, wife of Charles Moore. Mrs. Parker died [ ].
[ ] Arthur. He is survived besides his children by two brothers and one sister: David E. Parker, president of the First National Bank, of Juniata; Oliver Parker, of Cresson, and Mrs. Laura Smith, of Erie.
Mr. Parker continued in Mr. Robley's employ for some time after moving to Mapleton and then accepted a position in the Mapleton tannery, which at that time was not the large industry it became in later years but as it grew his advancement was rapid and he soon came into full charge of the rolling room which position he held until about 1880 when he was chosen as a clerk in the W. H. Rex's store. He later clerked for Phillips and Son and following his employment with this firm was employed in the store of J.G. Gillam. When Mr. Gillam moved to Huntingdon in 1905 Mr. Parker purchased the store and in 1908 associated his son, Arthur, in the business with him, which partnership continued until his death.
Mr. Parker took a keen interest in civic affairs, and particularly in school affairs. He served as a school director for about thirty-six years and for at least twenty-five years prior to 1907 was secretary of the board. In 1908 he was chosen president of the board in which position he was continued until 1915. In November, 1916, he was elected to the borough council of which body he was a member at the time of his death.
About forty-five years ago while employed at the tannery, Mr. Parker was impressed with the enkindlings of Infinite Love. For some years prior that he had been active in church and Sunday School work but was not satisfied that he was a Christian. He decided to fully accept Christ as his savior and he dedicated his life to Christ and joined the United Brethren church. He has ever since been active, in the fullest sense, in the church and Sunday school. For thirty-five years past he has been a teacher of the young men's Bible class and has won many to his savior. Nowhere will he be more missed than in the active and official affairs of the church and Sunday school.
In October 1912, he was awarded a medal by the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association for fifty years of service in the Sabbath School work.
May 20, 1913, Mr. Parker had an attack of vertigo or a slight stroke of paralysis but this caused but a temporary cessation in his activities and he rapidly recovered therefrom. He was a man of marvelous memory and cherished associations with veterans of the Civil War. In August 1914, he and his comrades, B.F. Isenberg and John McCahan, of Huntingdon, were taken by F.M. Bollinger of Huntingdon in an automobile to the southland and over the scenes where they had participated in the Civil War. He also had enjoyed the previous year the great reunion of the Blue and Grey at Gettysburg. He was always very actively interested in a proper observance of Memorial Day and in seeing that the graves of his fallen comrades were strewn with the choicest flowers.
Mr. Parker was a charter member of Mapleton Lodge, No. 468, I.O.O.F.; of Washington Camp, No. 69 P.O. S. of A.; Maple Glen Rebekah Lodge No 392, I.O.O.F.; Mapleton Camp No. 171, P.O. of A.; and the Grand Army of the Republic, and was treasurer of Washington Camp and of Maple Glen Lodge at the time of his death. He was also a past officer in the first two named organizations.
Mr. Parker was one of Mapleton's foremost citizens and it falls to few men to be as great an influence in the uplift of humanity as was he. He was decidedly a practical man, a man of almost enerring judgement and of quick perception. Having discerned a cause or an issue his mind was settled and nothing could swerve him from what he believed to be just. He was of a calm and cool-headed demeanor and discountenanted strife.
[ ] Sunday morning at 10 o'clock a memorial service was held in the United Brethren church and was largely attended. Appropriate remarks, eulogistic of the deceased were made by Rev. Ritter, Rev. Covert, Rev. Boardman, Rev G.A. Sparks, a former pastor, and by B.F. Godard, long a friend, neighbor and business associate. At four o'clock Sunday afternoon the lodge of Odd Fellows and camp of the Sons of America assembled at the home and read, the last sad rites of these orders over the body of their departed brother.
There were many beautiful floral offerings, presented by his church and Sunday School Class, the Lodges to which he belonged, Mercantile Firms, from Smith Shop No. 2 of Juniata, wherein his eldest son is employed, and from numerous friends.
Public funeral services were held at the home at 2:15 o'clock Monday afternoon. The services were conducted by his pastor Rev. H.B. Ritter, assisted by Rev. H.T. Covert, of the M.E. church and Rev. W.P. Boardman, of the Presbyterian church. The body was then conveyed to Mountain View Cemetery where it interred in the family burial plot.
The sons and daughters of A.M. Parker in this manner desire to thank all the neighbors and friends whose sympathy and help were so loyal offered them at the death and burial of their father.

Albert married Himes, Emma B on 22 Nov 1866. Emma was born on 26 Apr 1850 in Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania, USA; died on 11 Aug 1908 in Mapleton, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried . [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

She was married a second time on January 30, 1891 to Francis Comstock. She is survived by three children to her first husband-Robert S. Banks and Mrs. R.C. Gardner, of Altoona, and Mrs. J.A. Maderia, of Pittsburgh-and by one daughter to the second marriage, Mrs. Chester Bowles, of this city. She is also survived by three brothers and one sister, as follows: Albert Parker, of Mapleton; Oliver, of Newton Hamilton; D.E. Parker, of Juniata, and Mrs. Laura Smith, of Erie.

BOROUGH LOSES PIONEER RESIDENT

Mr. and Mrs. D.E. Parker to Remove to Huntingdon County

Ending a sojourn of over a third of a century in Juniata, Mr. and Mrs. D.E. Parker propose to remove their household to Alexandria, in Huntingdon county and their residence at 703 Sixth avenue, has been leased to Dr. William R. Brewer, of Tyrone, who will locate here to practice medicine. Just when the removal will occur is not definite, but Mr. Parker is contemplating the purchase of a home in Alexandria and the change will likely occur before October 15-the date that Mr. Brewer takes possession of the commodious dwelling in which the well-known Juniatian has resided during the past eighteen years.
Mr. Parker has had a personal part in every step of Juniata's development since his removal here from Altoona on August 12, 1890 with his wife and two little daughters, occupying a home that he had built on Third Avenue near Ninth street in the thinly settled village. His interest in the hamlet about which the name Bellview still lingered began, however, two years earlier, in 1888, when he became a member of the firm of Kline, Parker and company, that erected and operated a planing mill that was for three years located near the present site of WU office in the P.R.R. classification yard.
