BRANCH OF HIS SON PETER. 22 1
m., Oct. ii, 1854, William Richard Parker. She d. Oct. 21, 1890, in
Columbia, S. C.
Mr. Parker resides in Columbia. Mrs. Parker, though of a retiring
disposition, was a woman of rare social qualities, enjoying at all
times and in a marked degree, the society of her friends. Naturally
ardent in her affections, she lavished upon her family and kindred
the unalloyed love of her heart. Of a self-sacrificing disposition her
thoughtful kindness to her friends, and those in need, was a conspic-
uous characteristic in her outer life. Her piety was of a type too
seldom seen among the professed followers of our Lord. Though
for some time prevented by failing health from regular attendance
upon public worship, she enjoyed private communion with her Saviour
and realized an ever increasing appreciation of her Bible as the "man
of her counsel." She united with the Methodist church in early life
and continued in its communion until translated to the church
triumphant in Heaven. " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
