PARKER.
In his whole career, he was nobly seconded by his wife, Mrs. Mary Parker, whom to know was to love. She was strong-minded, had good common sense, and an unusual amount of executive ability. At the age of fifty-eight years Dr. Parker lost his wife, and soon after his own health gave way. During the last ten years of his life he was a great sufferer. The hardships of early life now told upon him. As he neared the close of life he gave evidence of that faith in Christ which supports in the darkest hour, and peacefully went to his rest. He died in 1856, aged seventy-two years. His children were, I., Milton, early designed for his father's profession, he added to it surgery. He enjoyed all the facilities his country affords for a complete education. He spent double the usual amount of time in prepar- ing for his profession, and year after year found him at lectures in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. His object accomplished, and his health requiring a more genial clime, he went South and settled in Charlestown, Va. Here he was warmly received, and entered at once upon a large and lucrative prac- tice in both branches of his profession. As a surgeon he obtained a wide celebrity and cases were brought to him from all the country round about. Day after day, and year after year, amid a throng of suffering humanity, he is perfectly at home. The first glimpse of his cheerful sanguine countenance inspires a new confidence, and as he proceeds, his quiek perception and ready adaptation to circumstances, is, to a looker-on, surprising. In 1859 his health made a change desirable, and he removed to Chicago, his present residence, not intending to engage in practice to any extent. His reputation however followed him, and the force of habit drew him into a large practice, and he ranks high among the medical men of that city. He m. Harriet, eldest daughter of Colonel Train of Washington, N. H. II., Laura, the eldest daughter of Dr. Parker, inherited the talents of the family. She however was quiet and unobtrusive in her ways, rejoicing rather in the praise and successes of her brothers and sisters than in seeking a high place for herself. She was domestic in her habits, and was assiduous in her atten- tion to the wants of her parents and friends, studying to make all around her comfortable and happy. She was also publie-spirited, taking great interest in the Sabbath-school and in all the missionary and benevolent enterprises of her native village. She was the last of the family to leave Aeworth, having seen her father, mother and sister laid in the silent grave, and her brothers settled in their professions. She died in South Carolina where she had gone for health. III., Mary, d. young. IV., Julia pos- sessed uncommon traits; she had a cheerful and happy temper, ready wit, and good conversational powers. She thirsted for knowledge, and read everything that came in her way, from the Bridgewater treatises to works of light literature. She readily acquired the languages, and besides Latin, was acquainted with French, Spanish and Italian. Before her death she had developed quite a talent for writing, had tried her hand upon essays, criti- cisms, tales and sketches with much success, writing both in prose and verse.
