Lulu Mae PARRISH, daughter of Dan and Villa CANNY, was born June 19, 1899, in Ringgold County, Iowa.

On April 11, 1927 she was united in marriage with Samuel PARRISH at Clearfield, Iowa, and of this union one daughter, Louise, was born.

They lived on a farm near Clearfield for several years. In 1943 they moved to Clearfield and in 1954 she and Louise moved to Bedford, soon acquiring her present home.

She was a member of the Methodist Church in Clearfield, later transferring her membership to the Bedford Methodist Church.

She was a loyal and conscientious mother and grandmother, helping her daughter in the care of her granddaughters at all times.

Those who survive include her daughter, Louise PENNINGTON; three granddaughters, Linda, Sherry and Roberta, of Bedford; a step-son, Robert PARRISH, of Clearfield; and one sister, Lena FITCH of Clarinda, Ia.; two cousins, Tom CANNY and Mary VANDERPLUYM of Diagonal.
