Onnie Parker

Born March 5, 1878; died June 26, 1896 of typhoid fever. He was a son of Jerry and Mrs. Parker of Mt. Vernon, Ark. He was a faithful member of the Baptist church, with his parents; a diligent Sunday school worker, and an ornament to society; the joy of his father and mother. His sister and brother will greatly miss his companionship and counsel.  We thank God for the days and months of companionship with such a character. "The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taketh away." faith in heaven's greetings enable us to accept the conclusion. J. C. Clark
