Death of Mrs. George Parker
Mrs. Ann S. Parker, widow of the late George Parker, died quite suddenly at the family residence last evening. Her husband, it will be remembered, died suddenly a little over two months ago. Mrs. Parker has been much prostrated since the death of her husband, and yesterday, in the hope that a good rest would improve her health she remained in bed. Dr. Walsh, as was his custom, called in during the evening and prescribed for her and left her in the expectation of finding her better this morning. A short time after he left she turned in her bed and died in about five minutes, the cause of death being paralysis of the heart.
Mrs. Parker was the daughter of the late Mr. Cover, a leading tanner of the District, and was born in Georgetown. Six children survive her -- Mrs. Lavey, (widow of Hon. Mr. Bouligny of La.,) who was married but a few weeks since and is now enroute, with her husband, to Australia; Mrs. Colonel Norton; Mrs. Maury, widow of the late Dr. Thomas Maury, and three sons, George, Samuel and Frank. She was a consistent member of the Episcopal church, and was noted for her thoughtful charities. The poor will miss her, as well as hosts of friends throughout the country.
First marriage to James C Walker B. 1813 D. 1832 They had one son together James C Walker Jr B. 1831 D. 1870.
