The Alvin Sun   December 12, 1941

Herbert Parker, Jr., 29, a Houston bus driver, drowned Saturday afternoon in
Chocolate Bay near the intracoastal canal. Mr. Parker was fishing with his
brother-in-law, J.B. Junell, and S.C. Cottle, both employees of the Houston
Bus company. The fishing boat capsized, and the man clung to it for about
three hours. After becoming exhausted, Mr. Parker lost his hold. His
companions soon rescued him, but Mr. Parker never revived. The party was
rescued after it managed to reach a shell reef. An inquest verdict of
accidental drowning was returned by Justice of the Peace William Burhart, of
Alvin (Texas).

Mr. Parker is survived by his widow, Mrs. Bessie Mae Parker, and a son,
Richard, of Houston; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Parker of Pittsburg,
Texas; four brothers, Hooper, Thurman and Beryl of Pittsburg and Orville
Parker of Gladewater.

Funeral services were held in Pittsburg (Texas) Sunday.
