DEATH OF oRRIN H. PARKHURsT.
:" In the midst of life we are in death"
These words have been repeated time
without number, but never was their
truth brought home more forcibly than
during the past week. Thursday after
noon, June IS, Orrin H. Parkhurst was
taken from our midst, after an illness of
eleven days. He was strong, robust
young man; but all that skill or loving
hands could do could not avail Nature
failed, and it was sadly told that he had
gone. He was 80 years and days old.
He was son of the late Luther Park
hurst of North Hyde Park. March II,
1894, he married Katie N. Blake, only
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Charles w.
Blake of this town. Since then he has
resided most of the time here. Heleaves
wife and two little boys, six brothers
and four sisters-al1 of whom, except
two sisters, were present at the funeral,
which was held Saturday afternoon.
Other relatives and friends from out of
town were; Geo. Hogaboom and wife,
Mrs. Cora Hathaway, Vim. Hogaboom
and his sister from Enosburg, F. H.
Darling and Mrs. d. H. Honey from AL
bany, James c. Blake from Worcester,
Mass, N. D. Blake and wife from Bos-
ton, w. G. Bassett and wife from Hyde
Park, Frank Dodge and wife from John
son, and large number of friends from
No. Hyde Park. The floral decorations
were lovely and much taste was dis
played in the arrangement of potted
plants and cut flowers. Mrs. Parkhurst
is very grateful for these expressions of
respect and sympathy. She also ex-
presses her gratitude to the singers for
their sweet and appropriate music, and
many thanks to those who so kindly
aided her during those dark and trying
hours. Rev. E. G. French of Johnson
spoke words of comfort and instruction
in his interesting style. The funeral
was very largely attended. Many words
of sympathy were spoken to the sorrow
ing family and -tendexwords have come
through the mails, for all of which the
family are deeply grateful.
