Mrs. Lucy Parker, relict of the Rev. John Parker, of the Genesee Annual Conference, was born in Livonia, New York, August 10th, 1804, and died at Hemlock Lake, New York, August 7th, 1880, aged 76 years. The early life of Sister Parker was spent in Livonia, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Blake, with the exception of the time when she was a student respectively at Geneva, Middlebury Academy, and Cazeovia Seminary. At the age of fifteen she was converted, and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was an active and zealous member to the day of her death. On January the 19th, 1827, in her twenty-third year, she was united in holy matrimony with the Rev. John Parker, who was at that time stationed at Norton Falls, now Honeoye Falls, New York. She now fully gives her life to the Church of her choice; and for a period of forty-five years, and on thirty-four charges, shares with her companion the trials and triumphs of an itinerant minister's life. Sister Parker was an active and judicious laborer for the cause she so highly esteemed. Since the death of her husband, which occurred March 17th 1878, she resided in Rochester, New York, until May 1879, when she came to live the remainder of her days with Mrs. J. O. Nickerson, an adopted daughter, at Hemlock Lake, New York. Sister Parker gradually failed in health since the death of her companion, and particularly so during the past year. During her last illness she manifested great patience and was grateful for the least attention. Even a drink of cold water was thankfully received. To the latest hour of consciousness she gave blessed testimony for, and evinced an unshaken trust in her Savior. The close of her life was like the setting of the sun, when his golden rays drape the sky and lingering clouds of the horizon with tints of beauty.
