w. K. PARKINSON---DEAD.

The late hour at which we received the news
of the death of State Controller Parkinson Of Ne
vada, and the crowded state of our columns, pre-
vented US from noticing. appropriately, in our
last issue, the decease of an early ana esteemed
citizen and business man OF Auburn. W. Par
kinson came to Auburn in the Summer of 1852,
his father being inthc mercantile business here.
His father soon after returned to Illinois leaving
William in charge of the business, of which he
became proprietor and sole conductor. Some
year two after Parkinson closed o't his bust
ness here and went back to Illinois. Subse-
quently he returned to Auburn and engaged in
the Dry Goods business During the mining cX-
ctcmcnt in Washoe he closed out his business
here, and went to Humboldt county, Nevada,
where he served as Deputy Sheriff for time and
then WAS elected State Controller. which posi-
tion he held at his death. AS friend, nei ighbor
and companion w. X. Parkinson was esteemed
and respected by all bis acquIintances. He was
long standing, true and highly prized friend Of
ours and we deeply reg ct TO record his death.
In this connection we copy the following from
the GOid HU .NtuS edited by p. Lynch an old
Placer county citizen:
1T is with feelings Of profound regret that we
are called upon to-day 10 announce in the News

Parkinson was yet quite a young man, whose
age we should judge. did not exceed thirty two
or three years, and was universally beloved by
all who knew him. Honest, kind and bcnevo-

was that kind and style of man whom men of
sense love to admire and associate with. We

relations have been quite intimate and friendly.
