MRS. P.A. WALLING DIES LAST FRIDAY
Resident here since 1882 Passes Away at Age of 79 years
Mrs. P. A. Walling, one of the last of the earliest settlers of Park Rapids and the Shell Prairies, died at her home here last Friday evening at about eight o'clock. She had been unconsious for two days following an illness which lasted for several months. She was 79 years of age.
Mrs. Walling came to Park Rapids with her husband, Dr. P. A. Walling, who survives her, on May 29, 1882. Within three weeks they were settled in their new home, which the Doctor built largely with his own hands, and in which they lived thereafter for 39 years. The house stood at the corner of what is now Park Avenue and First Street at the site of the present dwelling which was built in 1921.
Rosaline Kennedy was born August 21, 1850, in Wayne Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. Her father's name was DeWitt Clinton Kennedy. On August 11, 1875 she was married to P.A. Walling, at her home in Erie county. The young couple made their home at Clymer, N.Y. for three and a half years then moving to Columbus, Pennsylvania, where they resided for two and a half years. In 1882 they came west deciding upon the settled Shell Prairies as the location of their future home. They were among the first inhabitants of the village of Park Rapids.
Three children were born to them, being Mrs. L. J. Vacek (Iva Ellen) of Park Rapids, Jason Marion, lieutenant-colonel in the US Army, stationed at Toledo, Ohio and Ivan Elmer of Cleveland, Ohio. Besides these three children Mrs. Walling is survived by five grandchildren.
For many years Mrs. Walling was active in the social life of the village and was a member of the Baptist Church. She was a loving mother and a good homemaker, and will be sadly missed by her faithful companion of more than fifty years.
