PARCELLS, BENJAMIN C.
A Former Wichitan Dead - Benjamin C. Parcells, formerly a resident of Wichita, died last week at his home in Lakin, Kansas, in his thirty-ninth year. The Lakin Pioneer gives an extended sketch of his life in connection with the resolutions of the Masonic lodge. The Pioneer says:
Mr. Parcells was highly respected by all who knew him. He was honest and upright in all his dealings and numbered all among his friends. He was a member of the M. E. Church and it was through his endeavors that the M. E. Church was organized as early as it was in Lakin.
He was a member of Lakin Post No. 364, G. A. R. and was its first post commander.
Brother Parcells was made a Mason in Wichita Lodge No. 99, A. F. & M., at Wichita, Kansas and demitted from his mother lodge to become a charter member in Emerald Lodge, No. 289 when it was instituted, March 18, 1887 at Lakin, and served the lodge as its secretary while the lodge was working under dispensation.
