PARKER-In this city Oh Sunday, De-
j cember 18th. 1896, Charles Eugene
i Parker, aged 33 years:
Like fatal flash Of lightning from E
clear sky the announcement Of the
death of Chas. E. Parker Tell upon the
ears OF this startled community. So
brief had been his illness, SO recently. had
he been in and out among us in the full
vigor OF splendid health, that his death
could not be realized. On Thursday he
i was about his usual business, being
manager OF the Monarch Elevator in
Ashley, only troublesome tooth claim
ing his attention. On Friday morning
he was suffering terribly from what
seemed to De nothing more serious than
an liberated tooth; but he failed to get
relief, and with awful rapidity the infa-
nation involved the glands of the jaws
and throat, blood poisoning ensued. 1t
r.n wonderfully rapid course, and
notwithstanding all the medical skill
that could be brought to bear, he died
on Sunday evening.
Mr.. Parker was born at Batavia, ILL.,,
on August 7th, 1868, and two years
later, with his parents, removed to
Iowa, thence to Sauk Centre in 1882.
On April 9th. 1891, he was married to
Miss Jennie E., daughter OF Robert Nc
Cracker oiSauk Ccnere,
From his carly youth Mr.. Parker has
been held in the highest esteem by all
the people of this city and vicinity. He
was at one time eemployed in his fathers
store, and came i'll contact with han
dreds of people who were impressed
with his afhability. He was ct a peculiar
ly sunny disposition, and not only won
warm friendships, bnt thev were endur-
ing ones. His great manly vigor gave
one the impression of vast physical force
held in restraint by kind heart and
sympathetic disposition.
He was a member of the Ancient Ord
er OF United Workmen, having just been
elected master workman of the lodge,
and at his funeral on Tuesday, which
was one of the largest ever held in the
city, the Workmen attended in body,
