Mrs. Hannah Parker Dies at Louisville Buried At Macedonia

Mrs. Hannah Parker, one of the Webster county's oldest citizen and one of the 
community's most highly esteemed Christian ladies, passed away Monday in the 
hospital at Louisville following a short illness, and funeral services were 
held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Nellie Alston and C. W. 
Stapleton, the old home place in Webster county.  The Reverends J. W. Ham, of 
Parrott, and M. F. Reeves of Americus, were the ministers in charge.  Mrs. S. 
W. Adams, soloist, sang "Beautiful Isle" and "Land Where We'll Never Grow Old," 
with Mrs. C. E. Bryson as pianist.  Burial was in the Macedonia church cemetery.
Pall bearers were Albert Stapleton, Gilbert Hughes, Ben Fussell, June Hearon, 
Kenyon Gunnels, and Merritt Harmon.
"Aunt Hanner," as she was affectionately known throughout the years, would have 
been 96 years of age this month.  She was born in Alabama February 21, 1854, 
moving to Georgia after her mother's death in early childhood.  Her father was 
the late Sidney Stapleton who died while in service during the War Between the 
States.
She married Daniel Davis, of Preston, sheriff of Webster County, and father of 
Mrs. Jesse Drew, of Preston.  After his death she later was married to R. H. 
Parker who preceded her to the grave 25 years ago.
She made her home with her brother, the late Charlie Stapleton, for a number of 
years, later moving with her niece, Mrs. W. O. Fussell in the Center Point 
community.  Some two years ago she was removed to a convalescent home at 
Keesville, Georgia.
"Aunt Hannah's life was a long and interesting, and she was greatly loved and 
esteemed by a large host of friends.  She was a member of the Macedonia Baptist 
church.
Survivors include a large number of nieces and nephews.  Mrs. Jesse Drew, of 
Preston, is a step-daughter, and Benion F. Parker, Richland, is a step-son.
