He died suddenly at his home four miles out of Cedar Vale, Kansas on March 3, 1929 at the age of seventy-five years and twenty-six days. His youth was spent at the parental home in Virginia amid the hardships incident to a southern home during and just after the Civil War. At the age of twenty-three, he set out for the west, locating at Neodosha, Kansas. Here he was united in marriage with Emma A. Polson on December 25, 1881. To this union were born nine children, two of whom died in infancy and another, Floy, who departed from this life in 1916 at the age of 28 years. In 1894 he moved with his family to the farm at Hart's Mill, two miles east of Hewins, Kansas. In 1902 he bought an adjoining farm and moved to it, where most of the children grew to maturity. In 1917, thinking to retire, he sold the farm and moved to Cedar Vale, but the call of the farm was too great and he purchased the present home and took possession early in the spring of 1918. In his early youth, while still in Virginia, he joined the Methodist church and afterwards united with the church of the same faith at Hewins, Kansas. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Emma A. Parks; three daughters, Mrs. R. W. Akin of Hewins, Kansas, Mrs. Kale Williams of Elgin, Kansas, and Norma Parks Starkey of the home; three sons, Wayne of the home, Hugh of Chautauqua, Kansas and Percy of Kansas City, Kansas; three sisters, Mrs. Martha Phillips and Mrs. Barbara Cox of Galax, Virginia; and Mrs. Letitia Collins of South Dakota; one brother, Floyd Parks of Grayson County, Virginia; eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
