T.H. Parke Dead. Pneumonia Claims Another Victim Among
Aged in this City
Thomas H. Parke, aged 76, died at his home, 407 West Boone
Street, at 8 o'clock Sunday night of pneumonia, following a long
period of ill health. Last April Mr. Parke suffered a stroke of
paralysis, and this was followed by another in October. The
effects of these, and arterial sclerosis and dropsy, with which
he suffered, made him easy prey for the disease that caused his
death, which developed about ten days ago.
Mr. Parke was a native of Maryland, where he was born April 26,
1839. He took as his wife, Miss Amy Stouffer fifty-two years ago,
and came to Iowa forty-five years ago. He moved to this city from
Ankeny six years ago last July. In addition to his widow Mr.
Parke is survived by four children -- Mrs. C. H. Winslow, of
Fertile, Minn.; Mrs. Allie Ellia, of Ames; Mrs. E. A. Wahl, of
Kingsley; and L. R. Parke, of this city. There also survive one
brother and five sisters. They are John Parke, of Webster City;
Mrs. Ellen Stouffer, of this city; Mrs. Kate Pillsbury, of Sioux
Falls, S.D.; Mrs. Emma Cowgill and Mrs. William Avey, of Albion;
and Mrs. Max Baumbarger, of Cedar Rapids. Funeral services will
be held from the residence Tuesday afternoon at 1
o'clock, burial following in the Albion cemetery.
