The Banner, Friday morning, July 7, 1916 



Parr, G. D. 

Mr. G. D. Parr 

Well known citizen passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon 

From Tuesday’s Banner 

Mr. G. D. Parr died suddenly Sunday afternoon at 1:10 o’clock at his home, 1098 
South Lumpkin Street.  The news of his death was a shock to his host of friends 
throughout the city.  Though Mr. Parr had been in declining health for some 
time it was thought Saturday evening and Sunday morning that his condition was 
much improved.  Indeed, only a few moments before stricken, he walked out into 
the yard and back into the house. 

Mr. Parr was 61 years of age, and has lived in Athens all his life.  He was at 
one time a member of the Parr Bros., painters, but of late years devoted his 
talents to the mercantile business. 

Mr. Parr was a good citizen a member of the First United Methodist Church, and 
his genial companship will be missed by his many friends.  A good man has gone 
from among us and his memory will be cherished by those who knew and loved him 
best. 

Mr. Parr is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ophelia Blair Parr, four sons, Messrs. 
Emory D., Charlie W., Frank H., and Early Parr; two daughters, Misses Viola and 
Mabel Parr; four brothers, Messrs, V. J., M. H., B. H. and Alonzo Parr; two 
sisters, Mrs. W. M. Pittman and Mrs. Calvin Malcolm. 

The funeral services were conducted at the residence yesterday afternoon at 
4:30 o’clock by Dr. James C. Morris, assisted by Rev. Geo E. Stone.  The 
remarks of Dr. Morris were peculiarly appropriate and were comforting to the 
bereaved ones.  The interment was at Princeton.  Six Nephews of the deceased 
were the pall-bearers:  Messrs. Cliff, Harry, Edward, Lamar and Henry Parr and 
Mr. Cleveland Nichols.
