Death OF Roe Parker.

RIHwooD, Aug. II, '84.
Roe Parker, tie old popular trapper
and hunter, who for many years lived in
the town of Shields on the borders of
Mud Lake, was MN over and killed by
the cars Wednesday night last. Al
though he was in the habit or drinking
occasionally, such was not the cause of
his death, as he left Redwood in sober
state, though complaining of having
been sick for i couple days and bought
medicine on leaving the village. It is
said he was at times subject to cramps
and was perhaps attacked by one of
these when overtaken by the cars. His
remains wee inferred in Oak HILL Gene
terry, Wate:town on Thursday. Many
friends will miss Parker who was always
genial, god fellow and especially is
this true of those who are fond of hunt
ing and fishing to whom he always ex-
tended the hand of friendship and hos.
pitality. His staying by the borders of
Mud Lake fer a space of nearly twenty
years and living alone in camp has been
a mystery to many curious people.
However, hefeared nobody, dealt square
ly aud gentl,manly toward all, kept his
own counsel, paid all his bills, minded
his own business and died as he had
lived, mystery. He had frequently
spoken of friends in Oneida county,
New York, where it is supposed he was
born in 1889, and has one brother living.
