DEATH OF HENRY V. PARSELL.
a Holder of Large Local Interests
Expires in New York

Word was received in this city at an
early hour last night of the sudden death
at his home in New York City of Henry
" Parseil. prominent member of the
Norris Peters Lithographing Company of
this city
When reporter called at the home in
this city of Mrs. Eugene Peters, GA East
Capitol Street, last night, in order to
confirm the report. he was told by a mem
Der of the family that Mrs. Peters had
left the city quite suddenly few days
ago. None Of the family, ne said, had
been Informed of Mr. ParseT's death, al
though the news given them by the re-
porter did not come in the form of a
surprise, owing to the fact that Mr. Par
sell had been in I'll health for some time
Mr.. Parsell was a brother-in-law of the
late Norris Peters, the head of the firm,
the former having married Hannah Pet
ers, sister of the deceased. Upon the
latter's death, twelve years ago, Mrs
Parsell was bequeathed quite a large in
terest in the firm. This she at once
turned over to the management of her
husband, but he, owing to his in health
had been unable to take an active part
in the affairs OF the company.
Mr.. Parsell did not move to this city,
but made monthly trips throughout the
winter TO look over the affairs Of the es-
tate here. The active management of the
company consequently fell upon the shouI-
derS OF Daniel Fraser, who acted as gen.
eral manager, as Mr.. Eugene Peters. a
nephew of the late Norris Peters and the
only other member of the firm, had been
committed to st. Elizabeths Asylum for
the Insane several months ago, owing to
his mind becoming affected by a pro-
tracted spell of sickness.
What effect. therefore, the death of Mr..
Parsell will have upon the mana cement
of the company in which he was inter
ested is not yet known.
Mr.. Parsell was a native of New York,
and he was about sixty years of age.
He paid his last visit to this city several
weeks ago, when he was taken seriously
Ill, and upon his departure for his home
in New York had to be carried in an in
valid chair. He was considered a very
wealthy man and was the possessor of
a beautiful summer residence at Lake
Schroom, in the State OF New York
where he spent nearly all of his time
every summer. He leaves a widow, Mrs
Hannah Parsell, and a young son.
