James Henderson Cooper Parker, for many years a resident of Kidder and vicinity, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Tom Dixon, near Polo, at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning of heart desease. He has been ill only a few days.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church in Kidder at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, conducted by Dr. Wilson of Kansas City, Kansas, a friend of Mr. Parker's son. Burial was made in the Kidder cemetery.
Cooper was an uncle of H. J. Knock. Mrs. C. E. Helflin, and Charles, Lake and Harrison Jones. With the exception of a few years spent in Cameron as a harness maker, Cooper had spent his life in and near Kidder.
Henderson Cooper Park, son of Captain Harry and Martha Brown Parker of Kentucky was born Feb. 25, 1857 at the old Parker homestead six miles southeast of Kidder, Mo., where he spent his entire life within one-half mile of where he was born. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Eliza Cooper Parker Dixon near Polo, Missouri, September 14, 1935, at 9:30 a.m., at the age of 78 years, 6 months and 20 days, after a brief illness.
He was united in marriage to Harriet Angeline Williams in 1882. To this union twelve children were born, four sons and one daughter having died in infancy. His wife preceded him in death on May 3, 1924.
Cooper Parker and son, Frank kept their home on the farm until a few months ago when Frank moved to Kidder to assume the duties of post-master.
He is survived by seven children; Fred of Seattle, Wash; Basil, of Brownell, Kan.; Mrs. Arthur Hudson, of Winston, Mo,; Eliza Cooper Parker Dixon of Polo, Mo.; Richard, of Kansas City, Kan,; Rudolph, of Kansas; and Frank, of Kidder, Mo.; and five grandchildren; two brothers, Thaddeus Parker of Kansas City, Mo., and Theodore Parker of Ogden, Utah. The children were all present at the funeral, except Fred.
Cooper Parker stood for the high ideals of life and was a loving father and neighbor. They were a very devoted family and he was never happier that when in a family gathering with his children.
What a beautiful monument he has left. A structure of his own hand. The heritage of a good and and upright life. The marble shaft erected over the grave by family and friends may crumble to earth and be forgotten, but the influence of his good deeds will continue like the waves of the mighty ocean rolling on on until they break upon the farther shore. His influence will tend to strengthen and encourage long after the body has turned
