Mr. Parker was a home lover and hospitable to a marked degree. Mr. and Mrs. Parker were married 65 years ago and resided at the home of his birth until six years ago. Rev. Joseph Herold conducted the service and Mrs. Lewis Mendall, Mrs. Frank Tuck and Mr. Walter Mower sang Rock of Ages and Nearer My God to Thee in fine voice. These two hymns were great favorites of Mr. Parker and were sung by the members of his fathers large family, the various parts being well rendered as every member of the family were singers.
