JOHN S. PARKER

Niagara Falls

[People’s Press, 16 February 1904]

The death of John S. Parker which occurred on Friday afternoon at two o’clock was a very sad event. Mr. Parker had been ill but a few days and was not thought to be so dangerously ill till a short time before the end. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Deceased was born in Stamford thirty-two years ago. For a number of years he was employed on the N.F.P. & R. railway, but left the road last fall and started a flour and feed business at No. 33 Erie avenue. He is survived by the sorrow stricken widow (nee Alice Dawson, of St. Catharines), one son, Joseph aged fourteen months, and his aged mother. To these the hearty sympathy of the community is extended. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at two o’clock from his late residence, Hutton ave., to the Presbyterian cemetery in Stamford village. Rev. Mr. Smith conducted services.
