A.H. Parmelee, 65 years old, principal of Capitol Hill senior high school, collapsed in a Capitol Hill drugstore Friday night and was pronounced dead upon arrival at Samaritan hospital. Death was attributed to heart disease.
A drug store employee said Parmelee can into the store, bought a package of gum and a newspaper and went back outside. A few minutes later, Mrs. Lillian Forrester, 34 ½ Southeast Thirty-fifth street, ran in and asked how to get a doctor that “there is something wrong with Mr. Parmelee.” When none could be obtained a policeman standing near told Mrs. Forrester to take him to the hospital, which she did.
Parmelee began teaching at the age of 18. He was principle of the Capitol Hill school before that section was brought into the city. He then was made principal of Lee School at Southwest Twenty-Ninth Street and Walker Avenue.
When Capitol Hill junior high school was built in 1921, he became principal and served until 1925. Since that time he has been principal of the senior high school there.
Parmelee was born in Alexandria, Neb., Feb. 14, 1885, and had lived in Oklahoma City 31 years.
He was the first president of the Capitol Hill Kiwanis club, was a member of the Commerce club there, president of Capitol Hill junior college and was one of the civic leaders of that community.
Parmelee was largely responsible for the success of the Mexico City-Capitol Hill game Thursday night.
