When he was fifteen years old his father died, soon after which he came with his widowed mother and three sisters to Canada where he farmed in Manitoba with his elder borther for several years. His mother died in 1902 at Carberry, Man. In 1910 he absorbed the pioneer spirit and moved to Alberta with typical ox-team, two pals, a train load of provisions and homesteaded in what is now known as the Youngstown district. There he married Mrs. Orpha Marsh. Later he and his wife came in 1933 to Irma which has since been their home. For some time he followed the vocation of cooking and lecturing on Dietetrics and was local policeman of the village for a few years and always, for about half a century, a working Honorary member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Following many months of intense suffering he succumbed at last, May 12, of current year, in Royal Alexandra hospital, Edmonton. His remains were brought to Irma for interment and the funeral was held May 16 in the United Church. The beautiful Anglican service being conducted by Rev. Malters of Wainwright. Rev. Warnock, pastor of the local Gospel Mission, paid tribute to the character of Mr. Parke as a citizen, always actively interested in public welfare, as a friend and neighbor ever ready to render service, as a devout Christian and a devoted husband. Besides his wife he is survived by one brother who served in World War I and is now in a Veterans' hospital in Vancouver, one sister in B.C. and two in England. Beautiful flowers, messages of consolation and many other tributes from near and far testified to the esteem in which he was held. Mrs. W.R. Short, W.C.T.U. president of north half of Alberta, came down from Edmonton to attend the funeral, bringing tribute to the practical work Mr. Parke had done in the Temperance field and proffering to his bereaved wife such consolation as could be extended by the whole provincial organization. By special arrangement while his remains still rested in the family home, ("Ivy Cottage") just before removal to the church, these verses were read: BUILDING We are building our home on eternity's shore While we dwell in our structure of clay; We are shipping material onward before With the close of each hastening day; We are sending the thought That our spirit has wrought In the wonderful glow of the brain And the timber is grown From the seed we have sown Neath the shadow of sorrow and pain We are building our home on eternity's street While we dwell in the byway of fears And the roses that bloom there so pure And so sweet Must be watered and nourished by tears. Every thought leaves its trace On that wonderful place-- Every deed be it evil or fair-- And the structure will show All the life lived below-- All the sinning and sorrow and care. We are building our home. May the Angels of light Bring us wisdom whereever we stray That the mansion eternal be fashioned aright And the sunlight of Truth be its day. May the rainbow of love Form the arches above And the river of peace murmur by, And our spirits be blest. From The Irma Times, April 27, 1949, page 11 ***** Son of Rev. Edward Parke (1819-1893) and Margaret Corlet Lamothe (abt 1841-1902)
