"CHAS. PARKER PASSES AWAY"
"Charles William Parker, a native of New Orleans and resident of Biloxi for the past twelve years, died in New Orleans this morning at 10:30 o'clock, following an illness lasting for the past five months, during which Mr. Parker made a gallant fight for life, but succumbed after suffering patiently during the time he had been confined to his bed at his home in this city and in New Orleans. Biloxians in general will regret the death of Mr. Parker and although he was known to be in a serious condition, his demise will cause a shock to his many friends. Mr. Parker came to first as an employee of the American Railway Express Company, of which he was agent at Biloxi for some time. Upon tendering his resignation with the express company he became affliated with the W. V. Joyce Company as bookkeeper, later holding interest in the corporation, of which he was elected secretary. He was a thoroughly competent business man, who was not only competent in his work but who was a man of pleasing personaligy who made friends readily and held them continously thereafter. Mr. Parker was a member of Biloxi Lodge of Elks, in which he was active at all times and his absence(sic) will be greatly missed by his brother members. He was also affliated with the Mississippi Hook & Ladder Fire Company and the Biloxi Kiwanis Club. Deceased is survived by a wife, who before her marriage was Miss Myrtle Haller, who has been at his bedside during his long illness. Three children also survive him, two boys and a girl. Besides these he has three sisters, Mrs. Laura Price, Misses Jennie and Katie Parker, and one brother, Harry Parker, all residents of New Orleans. The remains will be brought to Biloxi, arriving here tonight at 7:14. They will be met at the train by a delegation from Biloxi Lodge of Elks and taken to the Parker home, 122 Main street, from which the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. Services will be conducted under the auspices of the Church of the Nativity, of which deceased was a member, with interment in the Biloxi cemetery."
