Death of Mr. J.L. Parker
Mr. John L. Parker, one of the best citizens of Talbot
county, died at his home at Box Springs on Tuesday
morning the 18th, inst, after a short illness Mr.
Parker was 74 years of age. He was generally known
throughout Taylor and Talbot counties and was held in
the highest esteem as a Christian gentleman. He was a
useful member of the Methodist church and died with the
knowledge of a life well spent in the service of his
Master. He was quiet and unassuming in his manners, but
as a husband, father, brother, citizen and neighbor,
his qualities could not have been surpassed. His wife
preceded him to the skies only a few months ago, which
was a sad affliction to him. He was the father of Mr.
J.W. Parker, of Columbus, who died recently, Mr. Walker
Parker of Harris county, Mr. Arthur Parker of Box
Springs, Mrs. A. J. McGee and Mrs. Leila Allison of
Butler, who have much sympathy from their friends in
this community. His remains were buried near the old
homestead at Box Springs on Wednesday.
