MRS. PARKER DEAD 

Mrs. George Parker Died Suddenly Last Night of Heart Disease 

Elizabeth, wife of the late George Parker, died suddenly at her home on Eighth 
avenue last night about 11 o’clock. She has been troubled for several years 
with her heart, lately much more than usual, though not confined to her bed. 
Yesterday she visited a friend some blocks away and up to 9:00 p.m. she and her 
daughter, Nellie, were planning to go to the World’s Fair next year and of 
visiting Kansas City soon for medical treatment, never dreaming how near was 
death.

Miss Nellie had been ministering to her mother and she was feeling better after 
a season of suffering and at her mother’s request she left the room partly 
closing the door. After some minutes she called to her mother and receiving no 
reply investigated and found that the spirit of her mother had left its 
tenement of clay.

Mrs. Parker was about 70 years of age and came with her husband to butler 
county many years ago, purchasing the Loy farm on the Walnut 5 miles northeast 
of El Dorado where they lived many years.

She was devotedly attached to her daughter, Nellie, and her affection was in 
remarkable degree reciprocated – the to mere “chummy.” Miss Nellie is 
prostrated, overwhelmed with grief at her great loss.

Mrs. Parker was born May 30, 1836. She was married to George Parker at 
Jerseyville, Illinois, October 20, 1865. 

Her children surviving her are: Silas Parker, Medora, Ills.; Andrew Parker, of 
Glencoe township, Isaac parker, Carmen, Oklahoma; Emma Parker, Augusta, 
Oklahoma; Mrs. Sylvester Marshall, Kingman, Kansas, Mrs. Smith Bailey and Miss 
Nellie Parker of El Dorado. All expect to be present at the funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Parker occurred this from her late home 
yesterday, attended by many sorrowing relatives and friends. Her body was 
buried in Belle Vista cemetery; and later her husband’s body will be 
disineterred in the Parker cemetery and laid beside hers.

The relatives and friends of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Parker desire that the 
Times express their gratitude for sympathy and help in their bereavement and 
sorrow. In such a trial such ministrations as have been bestowed are doubly 
appreciated and valuable.
