Jennie O Parker

Carrizozo Outlook
July 2 1908

On Sunday, between the hours of four and six, the gentle spirit of Mrs Marshall Parker winged its flight to the Great Beyond.

She had been gradually failing, the weight of years was beginning to tell, yet even her family was hardly prepared for such a sudden dissolution.

Mrs Parker had just had her residence moved from White Oaks to Carrizozo, had it repaired and neatly furnished and Mrs. Winfield was living with her. About three o’clock on the morning of her death, Mrs Parker seemed to be resting well, but when Mrs Wingfield approached the bed at six, she discovered the aged lady apparently sleeping but it was the sleep that knows no waking.

Mrs. Parker was born in Orange, Massachusetts, almost eighty years ago, was married to Marshall W Parker and one son Sidney M now a resident of Alamogordo was born to the union.

The Parkers came west and arrived in White Oaks June 14 1882. Later they moved to the Bonito and there the husband died in February 1890 and was buried at White Oaks. Since that time Mrs Parker had continuously resided in White Oaks until just recently she came to Carrizozo.
