In the fall of 1870, she came to Kansas with her parents, locating near Neodosha. She was married at her home on December 25 1881, to George F. Parks. To this union nine children were born. Her husband preceded her in death on March 3, 1929. Five of her children also preceded her in death; two in infancy. Floy Connett on December 26, 1916, Pearl Emaline Akin on December 18, 1938, and Percy on June 24, 1939. Surviving children are Wayne of the home, Norma Barnhardt of Chicago, Illinois, Hazel Williams of Cedar Vale, and Hugh of Chautauqua. She also leaves 17 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Parks was the last survivor of the ten children of the pioneer Polson family. She was a true and earnest Christian. For nearly 50 years she continued a faithful member of the Methodist church at Hewins into which fellowship she was received August 28, 1903, by the pastor U. S. Villers."
