Parker died at her home in Wray last Monday morning from the effects of a paralytic stroke. She was stricken about six weeks ago and her relatives and friends had little hopes of her recovery. She grew gradually weaker and weaker until her vitality was exhausted, and then quietly passed away. The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church Tuesday afternoon, and were conducted by the pastor, F. VV, Irnboden, assisted by Rev. C. L. Harrington of Vernon. The pastor used as his text 2 Timothy 4: 6 to 8 and spoke briefly of a victorious Christian life. The congregation joined with the choir in singing some of the old church hymns; Faith of Our Fathers, How Firm A Foundation and Sweet By and By. As a special selection, Mrs. E. M. Hedrick and Mrs. T. B. Groves sang "Saved By Grace." After the services the funeral procession made its way to the Grand View Cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. Sallie E. Wade was born in Adams County, Illinois, April 6, 1834. At thy age of about sixteen She was beref t of her parents and then went to Kentucky and made her home with an uncle. In her Kentucky home, on April 22, 1857 she. was married to L. R. Parker who preceded her to the better land in July, 1906. To this union were born 9 children, five of whom are living, as follows: Samuel and John L. Parker of California, Mrs. Mary Jones, Miss Crittie Parker and Alvin Parker of this community. After her marriage to Mr. Parker the family lived for a few yours in Adams County, Illinois; then nwred to Kentucky and Missouri. In 1886 the family came to Yuma County, Colo. and settled in Wray and the neighboring vicinity. Since the death of her husband she, with her daughter, Crittie, has been living in the home place in Wray. Mother Parker has been in poor health for several years past, and about seven weeks ago was stricken with paralysis from which she did not rally but failed slowly in health until Mondav morning at seven o'clock when she peacefully and quietly passed to her eternal rest, at the age of 78 years, 6 mo., 22 days. All of the children, with the exception of John, have been attending faithfully the bedside of their mother and giving unto her their loving ministries during her last days. Mother Parker was converted !n her girlhood days, united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, became the wife of a Methodist preacher and for over 62 years has been a faithfu! and true disciple of her Lord. She loved her church as her chief joy, to do her heavenly Father's will was her pleasure, and to attend the worship and service of God in the sanctuary was her great delight. She was indeed a Mother in Israel. "Servant of God, well done; Thy glorious warfare's past; The battle's fought, the race is run And thou artl crowned at last. Card of Thanks We wish in this way to express to our many friends our deep appreciation of their many loving ministries so kindly tendered to us and our dear mother, during the days of her last illness. Your services of love will always be remembered with feelings of sincere gratitude and thankfulness. THE PARKER FAMILY. I suspect she is buried near L.R. but, I do not have the plot number for her burial site.
