Her remains are laid to rest in that beautiful place, Woodland Cemetery. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss. Thus one by one the old settler are passing away....J. J. Parker and daughter, Mrs. S. L. Daniels, of Burlington, are visiting with Wm. White, having been called to attend the funeral of his sister, Ann K. White....

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: J. J. Parker is the brother of the deceased, John Jarvis Parker. His daughter was Augusta P. Parker, wife of Samuel L. Daniels.
