OSCAR EUGENE PARKER 

   Funeral services for Oscar E. Parker, formerly of Sebrell, were held at the 
grave in the Sebrell cemetery Wednesday afternoon, August 26, at 3 o'clock. 
The pallbearers were: W.B. Forbes, J.C. Britt, I.B. Parker, J.B. Gatlin, 
Thomas Whitmore, Willie Simmons, G.W. Reese and T.O. Simmons.

   Mr. Parker died August 25 at the U.S. Marine Hospital, Portsmouth in his 
38th year after a long illness.  He was for a number of years a resident of 
Sebrell but had made his home in Ahoskie, N.C., for the past few years.  He 
was a World War veteran with an honorable record.

   The Rev. Oscar Creech of the Ahoskie Baptist Church of which Mr. Parker was 
a member, conducted the services.  In no more eloquent way could his friends 
and loved ones have shown their love and esteem for him than by the beautiful 
floral tributes that covered the grave, and by the large crowd of relatives 
and friends who stood to pay their last tribute of respect.

   He is survived by his widow, who was before the marriage, Miss Irma Reese 
of this county, by three children, Oscar, Jr., Dorothy Reese and Irma May; his 
mother, Mrs. Mary O. Parker of Ahoskie, and three brothers, J.E. and D.C. 
Parker of Ahoskie and Rufus Parker of Norfolk.
