HARRY PARROTT DEAD
Kind and Useful Citizen Passes TO His
Reward, Late Saturday Afternoon,
After a Short Illness.

The sad intelligence of the death of
Harry PARROT came as a distinct sur
prise to the people of this city, late
Saturday afternoon. Only a short
time ago he was at his work, though
suffering from some ailment, which
prevented him from doing his usual
daily work.
Just three weeks before, his sister,
Mrs. Geo. McNary, died very suddenly
and he went to her home to be of as
much service as possible. He lived
in Audubon many years and was well
known to great many of the readers
of this paper.
Harrison PARROT was born in Du-
baape County, Iowa, June "a, 1851. and
departed 4this life in peace at his late
home in audubon. Iowa. March Z, 1914,
at the age of So years, 8 months and
13 days. In 1876, he, with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jonathan PARROT, moved
to Audubon. County, Iowa, where he
has lived ever since as one of the
county's most honored and peace
loving citizens. On March 10, 1886,
he was united in marriage with Annie
Lovelace, to which union were born
! two children, Lewis Elder PARROT,
| who preceded the father to the Great
Beyond, when only six years old; and
Mrs. Ethel Jones, of Audubon, Iowa. .
In 1887, he was converted and unit
ed with the Methodist Episcopal
church and later on united with the
Evangelical church of this city and
remained a faithful member Of the
same until translated to the home
above. Brother Parrot was a kind
father, a loving husband and a most
helpful and sympathetic neighbor to
all who were in need. He was al
ways ready to sacrifice, in order that
he might help others who were sick
and afflicted The last few weeks OF
his life, he took tender care of sick
and afflicted neighbor, which FASTENED
the end of his own life. Can we be-
lieve that the Master said to him, 81
was sick and We visited me, and in as
much as We did unto one of these the
least of my children, ye did it unto
me-. Mr.. Parrot was man among
men, and a brother greatly beloved by
all who knew him. He was faithful
member of Aretas Lodge, No. 1896; o..
o. F. and of the M. w. A. of this place,
filling the highest offices in these or
ders in past years. A sorrowing com
panion, one daughter, two brothers,
w. e. PARROT of Birmingham, Iowa;
L. NJ. Parrot of Brayton, Iowa; two
sisters, Mrs. Nora Cousins of Brayton,
Iowa, and Mrs. Carrie Schwenniker of
Anita, Iowa; three grandchildren, be-
sides a number of other relatives and
friends who mourn the going from this
world of a true and devoted brother
and friend. Brother PARROT was sick
only a few days and among his last
words are these: Its all right. Let

and the large audience gave him
strict attention from the time he up
set the coffee pot at the age of four
years to the time he made his visit to

was full of good things and all who
heard it were unanimously of the opin-
ion that the best of the course had
been saved for the last The course
will not pay out. There will be de-
felt of something like seventy-five dol
