HAS A HISTORY.
A Remarkable Man Who Died ina
ana Humble Room.

For three years past Mr. II. B. Parker
had been in the employ of the Maysville
Cotton Mills, having previously been
known to Superintendent Scott.
He was taken ill few days ago, and
last evening he died in small lodging
where he lived alone, but there were
stranger.friends about his humble couch
when he passed away.
Mr.. Parker was far above the ordinary
in intelligence.
He was born in New Orleans of we'll
TODD parents SO years ago, his father
being, we believe, ship-owner and of
New England Puritan stock.
While quite young deceased went East,
and when the gold discoveries were made
in California he with a number Of other
adventurous spirits organized a party to
cross the plains and seek fortune in the
new Ell Dorado.
The party encountered and com.
passed many dangers, being once muir
dersusly attacked by an army of Nor.
mons, at whose hands it suffered great
loss. Finally Parker reached California,
where he settled down to business, was
happily married and had two children.
During a buiness trip East he had occa-
sion to wire his bank for $4,000; what
was his establishment when he learned
that his partner had sold out the entire
concern exhausted the bank account and
left for parts unknown; and to this day
Mr., Parker had never heard from him.
Closely following upon the heels of this
misfortune his wife and children died.
and SO far as known by his intimates the
man who now lies dead at the undertak
ing rooms of McIlvaine & Humphreys
leaves not relative on earth.
Burning under sutferings at the hands
of the Mormons in his early life, Mr.,
Parker travelled 5000 miles to witness the
shooting of Bishop Lee of that sect when
the latter was condemned to death fol
his murderous acts.
1t would be impossible within the scope
of a newspaper article to give even al
outline of this man remarkable life.
Mr. Parker was member of the Ma
sonic fraternity, and they have taken
charge Of the remains,
The funeral will occur tomorrow after
noon at 4 O. clock, and the interment viii
be in the Masonic lot at the MaYsvill'
Cemetery.

FINAL TRIBUTE.
Funeral at Aberdeen of the Late
James III. Cheesman.

Peculiarly sad was the death of Mr..
James Helm Cheesnan which occurred in
Cincinnati on Thursday last, mention Of
which was chronicled in The LEDGER at
the time. The sudden and sorrewful
news reached his family with such force
as to daze the mind and almost crush the
hearts of those of his household. His de-
voted mother sits shrouded in gloom. the
darkness Of which even loving sympathy
and thoughtful deeds of many, many true
friends cannot penetrate.
In the first flush of young and vigorous
manhood, a constitution apparently built
to weather all the storms OF mans allotted
years. he bid fair to live until the silver
age had frosted head and bowed the
frame of iron. But Gods ways are not
our ways, and so at 90 the handsome,
genial, cordial. mannered fellow is cut
down even when the wine OF life was
sweetest to his lips.
Mr.. Cheesman was for several years a
trusted employe of the L. and n. Railroad
in this city. Several months ago he
moved to Cincinnati, where he had charge
of the joint ticket Office of the c. and o.
and l.. and n. Railroads, Fourth and
John streets. Wherever known he num-
bered his acquaintance as friends, so
frank, cheerful and happy in nature and
disposition was he. Among the social set
of our city he was great favorite, and to
his friends and companions his death falls
as a sting most keenly felt and long re.
naming. To his good mother, sadly
bereaved brothers and sister we extend
the consolation which friendship pays to
those who are in trouble, May God pour
into their hearts, by the hand of faith,
the balm of His Holy Spirit. May His
love overshadow them, and may the sun
light of charmed remembrance so possess
their hearts and minds that no sad sting
of bereavement can linger round their
future walk in life,
This morning at 8 o'clock the funeral
rites were said, the office for the burial Of
the dead as set forth in Textbook of Com
mon Prayers being used. after which the
body of James Helm Cheesman was Low.

New Officers Chosen by the Union

The Union Republican Club held the mos:
exciting meeting in its history last night
and before adjournment was reached Presi-
dent Thomas ]. Lasier and Secretary
George S. Emery resigned; DR.. A. P. Far
don and Mr.. C.. D. Kreaner were elected
respectively, to succeed them. and COM
mittee was chosen to enter into consulta-
ton with the National Republican Club
which was recently formed by seeding
of consolidating the two organizations.
The meeting was presided over by Capt
Woolman Gibson. and the report Of the ex-
cursion committee, which stated that Sec
retary Emery had failed to make returns
for large number of tickets for the recent
excursion, was the inspiration of a number
of speeches not at all complimentary to the
secretary. 1t was claimed by the latter's
friends that he had distributed the tickets
among many persons to be sold, but had
been unable to get an account of them SC
made, but before 1t was acted upon the
secretary rendered his resignation and 1t
was accepted.
The report of the excursion committee
which had been adopted. was finally re-
scinded
DR.. Pardon chose Dr. c. B. Purvis and
Mr. r: NJ Elliott to act with himself as the
with the National Republican Club. At an
executive session held after the regular
meeting adjourned the club decided to
recommend to the national republican com.
mlttee the name Of DIR. A. P. Pardon as

charge of the arrangements. Rev. John
Roberts. who was Ford's spiritual adviser,
and Rev. w. ]. Howard were the officiat-

The services were brief, and consisted of
prayer, singing the hymn beginning with
the words, Show pity, Lord; Oh, Lord,

short address by Mr.. Roberts, who, in the
course of his remarks. referred to the
crime for which Ford died. and urged his

the building.

mark of the rope about the neck. which
was nearly concealed by the undertaken S
art, gave no eviderce of the mans terrible
taking off, and he seemed to be asleep. A
small bunch of flowers was placed on the
coffin, and on it was also placed a small
box, in which some contributions for the
Elurderers wife and child were dropped.
