Alonzo Parker, age 80 year, 2 months and 3 days died at his home in Monrovia, Tuesday morning. April 22, from a trouble of fourteen years duration. Mr. Parker was born in Mobile, Alabama. He came to Atchison, sixty years ago, nine years later moving to Monrovia which has since been his home. Mr. Parker was the village blacksmith, and the one that stood under the spreading chesnut tree was no more popular than he. Many a time “his brow was wet with honest sweat, for he owed not any man.” In 1863, he was married to Miss Anna Brown in Atchison. His widow and their four children, all a credit to their parents survive him. The son Frank, lives in Atchison, the daughters Florence, Altha and Laura are at home. The Parker girls make shopping trips often to Effingham and everybody knows them. Their friendly modest and refined manners are often the comment of their friends. Funeral Services for the deceased were held Wednesday afternoon at 2’oclock at the home. Rev. Knepp, of Effingham, had charge of the services and interment was made in the Monrovia cemetery.
