Rev. Brass officiated at requiem mass celebrated at S.S. Peter and Paul's church where the deceased has been a communicant for many years, a staunch and faithful member, and the large congregation in attendance by their presence testified to the high esteem to which the lady was held. At the conclusion of the services her mortal remains were laid to rest by the side of her daughter in the Roman Catholic cemetery east of town. Her death marks the passing of another of the pioneers of this section of the state. Mrs. Parr, whose maiden name was Magdelena Lorenz, was born in Germany on the twenty-seventh day of October, 1829, and the Heavenly Father granted her the three score years and ten allotted to mortal and then an additional ten years, although the last ten of her stay on earth were filled with much pain and illness, incident to the ravages of Father Time. For the past few years rheumatism made her dependent upon those about her, and despite the fact that helplessness was so foreign to her nature that it was a source of continual effort for her to bear her infirmities, yet she bore the trial with Christian fortitude and patience. She had always been a lady of fine physique and excellent faculties-a lady of much force of character. After her marriage, in Germany, to John Parr, they came to America fifty five years ago and located in Missouri. After residing there for thirteen years, they came to southern Cuming county in 1868 and made their home on a farm near Olean. She did her share of the hard work and the trials that await those who help in building up new settlements. In those early days she lent a helping hand to many a neighbor in need of a friend. With kind deeds, words of encouragement and a bit of cheer now and then she heartened many a toiler like herself who were undergoing the privations of the pioneers and inspired many who were discouraged with renewed determination to make the best of circumstances and infused them with hope and faith. Eighteen years ago, she and her husband left the old farm and took up their residence in Howells, possessed of a competency that meant rest from manual labor in their declining years. During the years it has been our pleasure to know her, we have ever enjoyed her friendship. She was a student of nature and a quaint philosopher, and activity and simplicity are the two qualities to which we may credit to a large extent, the old age that she acquired. Mrs. Parr reared a family of eight children, of whom there are six sons to mourn with their aged father, the loss that has come to them. Adam and August of Olean, Jacob of Omaha, and William, Bernard and Henry of Dodge. One son John, died in boyhood, and their only daughter, Mary, who was the wife of Frank Cejda, died eighteen years ago. To the mourning family is extended the heartfelt sympathy to all.
