OBITUARY

1t does not seem fitting that a useful
life of more than four score years spent
practically in one community, should
come to an end and receive only casual
mention in the local papers.
The life of Mrs. Martha Parkill which
reached its earthly close on the thr
teenth day of July had touched the lives
of many in this vicinity and there are
not wanting those who would gladly pay
a tribute to her memory Mrs Parkill,
whose maiden name was Martha Smith,
grew up in the austere environment and
intensely religious atmosphere of an old
time Methodist preachers home, her
foster father having been the late Rev
Grand Ward Billiard. sub surround
ngs, however, did not mean a dull or
unhappy life. She was married while
still in her teens to Nathan K. Parkill,
man well remembered for sterling up
RICHNESS and integrity. Before the age
of twenty one she had become the
mother of the two children who We're
born to her, Charles, who is still living
in the state Of Montana and Florence,
who became the wife of Daniel Twichell
of New Haven, and who died four years
ago. Mr. and Mrs. Parkill belonged to
tho generation now almost extinct in
whose lives the church was the social as
well as the religious center and to whom
the Sabbath meant church attendance
almost invariably. They were to be
found in their places in the Weybrdge
Methodist Church regardless of the con
dition of roads or weather and could be
relied upon to support financially as well
as by their presence, their musical abil-
itv and the labor of their hands all its
services and enterprises. Each summer
found them spending week of the busy
season at Spring Grove camp meeting,
joining in the services conducted there
by those who knew God and in whose
lives religion was a real factor There
are still living those who remember Mrs.
Parkill as a kind, helpful neighbor and
she was frequently found in homes
where circumstances of birth or death
demanded the offices of capable
woman. She ministered most tenderly
for many years to her husband who was
totally deaf and nearly blind for some
years before his death. She was much
loved by the children and young people
of the rural community where she made
her home, because of her cherry opti-
mism and her happy, light hearted dis
position which kept her always young.
She is survived by the son previously
mentioned, by three grand children,
Clearance Parkill of Montana, Bernice
Twitchell of New York, and Mrs. George
B. Thompson of Kansas City, by two
great grandchildren, the little daughters
of Mrs. Thompson and by one sister,
Mrs, Addie Sayles of Rutland. Her
funeral was held from the Weybridge
M. f. Church, on Sunday, July sixteen,
the Rev. f. M. Hagadorn of Bristol,
former pastor, officiating. Mrs. B. o.
Wales sang feelingly Jesus Lover of
My Soul" and Nearer My God to
Thee" and Mr.. Hagadorn spoke briefly
but fttingly from the text 'To me
to live is Christ and to. die is gain. "
Interment was made by the side of her
husband in the New Haven West Gem
etery.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her
own works praise her in the gates
