1. Daniel Silliman.
Born about 1626 and died in 1690.
Married (by marriage contract July 1661) Peaceable, widow of John Eggleden, married (2) Hannic (also called Hannah), widow of Henry Hendricks.
"Inv. of Daniel Silliman, Sr., 2 Jan. 1690 [1690/1691]; widow Hannica (marriage contract referred to); adm'n granted to Daniel and Robert. Heirs named: Daniel, Thomas, Robert.
Daniel Silliman was involved in the Benfield case, 1666, and the testimony contains considerable information about him. Gold wrote of him that he had small property, did little labor, and traded with the Indians. George Squire, Jr., testified that, it having been reported that a fleet of Dutch and French was coming to New England, Silliman said he "hoped he should get his foot aboard a man of warre once more." This indicates that he served in the navy in his youth. Probably, he was a man of adventurous spirit, and a shrewd trader; but the ability that soon characterized the Silliman line seems to have derived largely from the excellent intermarriages with families of mental distinction, notably the Hull and Selleck alliances. [The compiler inclines to the view that he was of Dutch extraction. Not only did he marry a Dutch woman for his second wife, but he lived on "Holland Hill," and his bold remark about a man of war may imply that it was the Dutch navy in which he served.]" (Families of Old Fairfield)

Mrs. Martha Stever, of this place, died at the Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, Wednesday evening, November 30, 1892, at 8:15 o'clock.

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.

MRS. MARY BANKS COMSTOCK
Mrs. Mary Banks Comstock died Saturday morning at 4 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ray Gardner, 1902 First Avenue, after a short illness with heart trouble. She was born in Germany valley, Huntingdon county, April 21, 1851, the daughter of Robert and Mary Parker, both deceased. She was married in 1872 to David F. Banks, of Mapleton, who died in 1888. 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. There are three grandchildren. She was a faithful member of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church and of the Daughters of Rebekah. The funeral will be held on Monday at 2:30 o'clock, with services at the house. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery. | Parker, Mary (I1653)

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. | Parker, Angelina Robley (I1651)

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. | Himes, Emma B (I1833)

Harry Robley
Christmas was a sad day in the home of our friend Mr. John K. Robley. As stated in the Times of last week, on Wednesday, Dec. 23, his only child, Harry, had both legs cut off while attempting to board a westbound freight train near the railraod school house above town. The particulars of the sad accident are as follows: On the morning the accident occurred he in company with two or three companions of the same age went to visit the township school and at recess they started to return home. When a short distance below the school house Harry jokingly proposed to the boys that they get on a freight and and go to Bridgeport or Mill Creek. They objected, and just then a westward bound freight train approached and Harry said he was going to get on one of the stock cars. He apparently attempted to do so and he was jerked into the air and fell rolling under the wheels. His left limb was run over close to the hip and his right about 6 inches below the hip. His companions inform us that he was rolled over and over causing the suts and bruises about his face. This occurred about 10:30 o'clock and he was taken to his home where he lingered until 12:45 o'clock when death came to his relief.
Before dying he told his father he did not know what made him catch hold of the train as he didn't think of getting on. In reply to an inquiry of his father as to whether he was preapred to die he replied, "Yes, I am going to glory; you and mamma meet me in Heaven." He was conscious until until the time of his death. His remains were interred in the cemetary at this place on Christmas morning and his funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in this place. He was aged 14 years, 1 month and 13 days. Rev. Orner, of Altoona, preached the funeral sermon, speaking with much feeling from the following words found in Psalms 39.5; "Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth and mine age is as nothing before thee," and reading in connection the passage found in Job 5, 6-7; Jeremiah 31, 15; Zech. 1,5;Psalms 103, 15;James 4, 14; Job 30, 23; and Job 9, 25. Harry was a bright boy and a good boy, manly, polite and honest. He was a mother's joy and pride and hope of his father. He was a faithful and regular attendant at the U.B. Sunday School. In school he was an industrious pupil. No boy in the community would be more missed than Harry Robley. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community but they have a more substantial comfort as is evidenced by the father's anxious solicitude as to son's future welfare. They know that while a kind Father may afflict his grace is sufficient to uphold. Harry is happier now and we have the consolation that while he cannot return to us we may go to him. | Robley, Harry (I2010)

Henry Miller, one of the oldest residents of this section, died at his home in Union township, one mile west of Mapleton, at 11 o'clock a.m., December 26, 1908, of senile gangrene. The gangrene resulted from an injury received to the great toe of the right foot last winter by wearing a felt boot that was to short for this foot. In April last he began to suffer from pain in the toe and from that time until death he was confined to his home, most of the time being unable to walk.
Henry Miller was the son of the late Jacob and Rachel (Dell) Miller and was born on the Miller homestead (now the property of A.K. Miller heirs) July 9, 1834, being at death aged 74 years, 5 months and 17 days. He grew to manhood on the farm and March 24, 1858, was united in marriage to Mary Wilson, and all their married life was spent in this vicinity.
To them were born twelve children, nine of them whom survive, together with his widow. The surviving children are Miss Priscilla E. Miller, of Philadelphia; Miss Rachel, at home; Thompson Miller, of Blair County; Mrs. W. H. Barkley, of Union township; Mrs. Lewis C. Corbin, of Juniata township; Mrs. Belle Grant and Isaac Miller, of Altoona; Mrs. Harry Wagner, and Wesley Miller of Mapleton.
He is also survived by two brothers- George Miller, of Union township, David B. Miller, of Mapleton, one half-brother, Gideon C. Miller, of Mead, Nebraska, and one half-sister, Miss Mary J. Miller, of Mapleton.
While a young man Mr. Miller became converted and upwards of forty years had been a member of the Mapleton United Brethren Church. When able he was always present at the services of his church and every duty he earnestly performed. He will now be rewarded for his Christian life which he spent on the earth.
The funeral was held in the U.B. church yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. G.R. Alban, assisted by Rev. J.H. Ake, of the M.E. church. Interment was made in Mountain View Cemetery. | Miller, Henry (I1730)
