Fortunately four brothers and the father witnessed the accident and immediately rendered first aid. It was at once observed that the accident was a serious one, and they promptly took him to his home and summoned Dr. Hall, who at once ordered his immediate removal to the hospital at Kingston. A hurried consultation with Dr. Mundell resulted in an operation which was skillfully performed, but in spite of the best medical skill and unstinted nursing, care and kindness, Ralph passed into the Great Beyond early in the morning of the 23rd of February. Rapidly as the news of his accident spread, still more so did the news of his death when a whole community for many miles distant were plunged into deep mourning for one they knew and loved so much. Yes! It was Ralph Parks, a boy from one of the best homes in the country. A boy who reflected those pious principles and all those strong and yet gentle features of noble manhood which were so faithfully inculcated by loving christian parents into his growing and expanding nature, that made him of more than ordinary value as a man among men. Ralph was not rash in his decisions nor unduly speculative in his undertakings for he possessed the rare ability of a calm and calculative meditation which saved him from many cares and sorrows so common to others. In no instance is this more plainly seen than in relation to his marriage. It was on the 7th April, 1920, when 32 years of age, he married Laura, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Mellow, of Gretna. While this was not everybody's business, yet everybody rejoiced over this happy union. It was felt by all that a more beautiful and ideal example of conjugal relationship could not be witnessed and on that ever memorable day this happy couple were united in wedlock in the presence of a host of admiring friends at the bride's home. It was immediately following this that Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Parks commenced to make their home on their new farm at Hawley. It is not possible in this brief sketch to express the wholesome devotion of these young people to the task of their life, starting out as they had done on a new farm with everything to make for the present and future too. One thing, however, must be said to their credit, and that is they did not either neglect or forget their obligation to the church, as should always be the case. They in the fear of God put first things first. Laura was organist at Hawley Church, a post which she faithfully and lovingly filled. Ralph was a member of the Official Board, was Secretary of the Trustee Board and Secretary of the Sunday School, and all of these duties were faithfully performed, the value of which will never be forgotten. The funeral service was held at the home of the deceased's parents, where the body was brought, and notwithstanding the bitter cold weather, hundreds of people gathered to pay their last respects. Pastor Hoffman conduced the service, assisted by the Rev. W.H. Truscott, and so there closed one of the saddest chapters in the history of South Fredericksburgh. There is an unending expression of sympathy for the young widow by everybody; also for Mr. and Mrs. Archie Parks, the parents, together with the five brothers and two sisters.
