OBITUARY
Mrs. Henrietta V. Parvis

After an illness Of few days Mrs.
Henietta V. Parvis, died at her home
on South Broad street, at five o'clock,
Thursday morning, aged "a years.
Mrs. ParvIs had been in failing health
for several years, and last week was
stricken with pneumonia, which re-
suited in her death.
In the death of Mrs. Parvis, her rela-
tives and friends fully and keenly real
ize their loss. She was true friend,
and her devotion to those she loved
would make bright chapter in any
life. Nothing but the thought of the
loving hand that has removed her can
reconcile her loved ones to her absence.
W hile she has gone from the scense,
the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures
of life, she will still live in the hearts
of those who knew her best. Her re-
firing nature led her to hide her best
qualities from public gaze, but they
were revealed in those who enjoyed
her acquaintance, yet it was in her
home that her true worth was most
conspicuous. She was kind, loving
mother, and her devotion to the family
circle had no limit. For many years
she had been consistent member of
Bethesda M. E Church, and attended
regularly as long as her health per-
mitted.
Deceased was the daughter of the
late Garrett Jefferson and Ann Zellah
Hart, and was born near Chestertown,
| Md. She was united in marriage to
the late DR.. John HI. Parvis, in 1870,
| and had been a resident of Middletown,
| for the past AZ years. She leaves to
mourn her death three daughters and
one son. They are : Mrs. Henry NJ.
Schroeder, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Ethel
Browne. of this town; Mrs Henry S.
Brady, of Mt. Pleasant; and Mr.. John
| II. Parvis, of Philadelphia; and two
brothers Senator Edward and Walter
| E. Hart, of Townsend.
| Funeral services held at her late home
this Saturday afternoon, at 2.3(
o clock, and interment will be private ir
Forest Cemetery.
