MRS. JERUSHA PARKS

  After a three weeks' illness of complication of ailments, Mrs.

yesterday at 9 p.m.
  Mrs. Parks was born in Huntingdon county, June 22, 1847, and was the 
widow of W. A. Parks, who died December 19, 1906.

grandson, there will be a brief funeral service held on the porch of 
the home, Monday at 10 a.m., with Rev. W. W. Banks, pastor of the First 
Methodist church, of Juniata, officiating. After the services the body 
will be taken overland to Newton Hamilton where interment will be made 
in the cemetery at that place.
