"Newsy Notes From Whigham"
Mr. Fred Parker, age about 20 years, died at the home of his brother, Mr. Will 
Parker, Thursday evening the 27th, at 6 o'clock, after an illness of about 27 
days.  The best medical attention and a trained nurse, besides all that other 
loved ones did for the young man, was of no avail.  Fred was converted and 
joined the Methodist church during the Revival at Whigham a month ago and his 
pall-bearers were six other young men who were also converts at the same time.  
These were Col. Sam Cain, Paul Chestnut, J. J. Kimball, O. C. Spence, Clifford 
Reynolds and Byron Harrison.  The funeral took place at the Methodist church 
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. H. P. Stubbs, interment immediately at 
the Whigham cemetery.  The casket was covered with floral designs by many 
friends and loved ones.  Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the father and 
brother, who were called from Charleston to his bedside some ten days before 
Fred's spirit took its flight to the bright beyond.
