New Lexington Herald, 16 Dec 1875
Another Early Settler of Ohio Passed Away. Died on Nov 25, 1875 at the residence of her son-in-law, James S. Brown, Esq., Mrs. Mary Iden Parker, in the 93rd year of her Christian course. Mother Parker was born in Loudon Co, Va in 1783. Her maiden name was Mary Iden. She was married to Joseph Parker in the 18th year of her age, and emigrated from VA to Deavertown, Morgan Co, Ohio in 1816, and settled there upon a farm. She and her husband, both at the same time in 1825, united with the Baptist Church -- over 50 years ago. She was the mother of 12 children, 7 sons and 5 daughters. Her husband died in 1834, leaving her to care for and raise the children, which she did. Two of her sons, John and Joseph, became ministers in the Baptist Church, but the career of Joseph as a minister was short. Soon the Master said to him, "It is enough. Come up hither and behold my glory." Her son, the Rev. John Parker, 3 other sons and 2 daughters yet survive. Mother Parker made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Eliza P. Brown, near Oakfield, during the last years of her declining life. On Nov. 28, 1875 her remains were conveyed by her four sons, 2 daughters, her son-in-law, James S. Brown, and their families, to the cemetery at Deavertown in sight of her old homestead and there deposited in the grave beside the dust of her husband.
Her mother has not been identified.
