Tues. Nov. 23, 1819   Edenton Gazette
   DIED, at Plymouth, on Sunday, the 14th inst., DR. JOHN E. PARKER.
   DR. PARKER was a native of the State of Pennsylvanie, but for several years 
before his death, had been a resident of North Carolina, in many parts of 
which he has left an impression highly honorable to his talents and 
requirements. His literary career, in this State, we believe, was commenced in 
Plymouth, where without an auxiliary, he superintended and directed the 
studies of an Academy for three or four years with acknowledged skill and 
ability.
   In a similar and much superior institution at Vine Hill, he occupied a 
distinguished station; and supported, for more than two years, amongst men of 
great attainments and undoubted abilities, the character of an able and 
accomplished Teacher. In the profession, to which he last devoted himself, 
that of medicine, considering the opportunities he had enjoyed, he had made a 
rapid and unexampled progress; and we hesitate not to say, that had his life 
been spared and his talents and attention continued steadily and undividedly 
directed to its duties and objects, he would have stood in an exalted and 
enviable rank among the members of the Healing Art.
