For the same episode that back
in 1921 brought out his qualities Of

death of his wife, and Parker is
inconsolable
Between them the couple saved
the life of a fireman and their
three children from their blazing
home, December 81. 1921. Parker
dragged an overcome truckman to
safety, and Mrs. Parker. the mother
instinct raised to a pitch that.
steeled her against any danger,
made three trips into the holocaust
To do II, she was forced to crawl,
clad only in her night-Eown. from
the window Of an adjoining house
upon the icy cornices of her own.
After the excitement was over.
came the reaction of long exposure
to mid-winter~ chill. Mrs. Parker
had been of robust health before,
but she contracted q heavy cold,
which finally lapsed into tubercu-
iosis.
The family's troubles came In
plurality. Mrs. Parker, q native Of
Comton, Nd, had ben well@to-do.-
Bad investments, however. swept
away her competence. and, she was
forced to seek treatment in the Dis
trict tuberculosis Hospital.
There the end came yesterday.
For his act, in rescuing q fire
man, Parker probaly will gain a
medal which is said not to have
been given to any one in the Dis
trict for fourteen years But his
wife is the one who earned it, he
searfully declares.
The three children, Teresa. eight;
Mary Virginia, six, and Catherine,
three. who owe their lives twice
over to their mother, cling to their
father. They know only that she
has gone away" There is a.
fourth little one, Fred C. Parker,
ir., born three months after the
IRE.
Funeral services for Mrs. Parker
will be arranged today. Interment
will be in Glenwood Cemetery.
