WIN. HI. PARKER DEAD,
WeN-kn0wn CoiOred Man, Who Wa!
Born a Slave.

Well-kn0wn COiored Man, Who Was
Born a Slave.
William Henry Parker died at his home,
444 1st street southwest, Monday evening
last. He was one of the best known COL
ored men in this city, especially In the real
estate circles of the District of Columbia.
He owned considerable valuable property
in this city. He won for himself many
friends among all classes and was respect
ed by all who knew him. His character
was regarded as above reproach and his
integrity unquestioned.
Mr.. Parker was born a slave in Prince
William county, Va, in 1888, He was body
servant to his master, and by this means
learned to read. He loved the Bible and re-
Hgious books. and was for many years a
close reader of the daily papers. He was
always vigilant, and by this fact learned
on one occasion that a number of slaves
were to be deported to Cuba for safety dur
ing the progress of the rebellion. Accord
ingly, the night of February %, 1862, he.
with thirty-eight other slaves, including
women and children, escaped through the
rebel picket lines to the Union lines, which
were then on the plantation of the distin-
guished confederate Gen. Lee. now Arling-
ton national cemetery. He had previous to
this assisted many slaves to escape into
the Union lines.
He passed away surrounded by his eight
surviving children, five boys and three
girls. and other friends. His wife died sew
eral years ago. One of his daughters, Miss
Helen. is a teacher in the District public
schools.
The funeral will take place from Zion
Baptist Church, on F street southwest, to-
deliver the Grafton and will be assisted by
other divines.

Special to the Herald.
Nashville, June 25.-That there was
a woman in the Marks case appears
now to be certain; but even this does
not explain the disappearance of his
money. On the contrary, it is proba-
BILE that the woman was one OF the
victims of his transactions. 1t is
known that he tried to borrow money
from her, and it is supposed that she
let him have about $3, 900.
The woman is widow now living
in Atlanta. She formerly lived In
this city, and was accustomed to meet
Marks at houses of designation.
This furnishes another surprising
revelation as to Marks character. His
morals were supposed to be of the
highest order.
