PIONEER OF 1866 PASSES FRIDAY IN CRESCO TOWNSHIP
Irvington, Sept. 8--Mrs. M. de L. Parsons, 71, pioneer, died at her home at 4:30 Friday morning. Mrs. Parsons had been suffering for several days with a carbuncle in her nose, and supposing it to be an ordinary boil had neglected going to a physician till after the infection had spread through her system.
The boil was lanced three times in an effort to find relief. Mrs. Parsons had not been in perfect health for a number of years, but the blood poisoning from the carbuncle was the immediate cause of death, settling in the brain.
Ella A. Baker was born in Steuben county, New York, in 1861. She came to Iowa with her widowed mother in 1866. The family settled on a homestead in Cresco township and lived there until 1874, when they moved to Missouri, but after six years returned to the old home here.
Mr. and Mrs. Parsons were married September 11, 1881. Nine children were born, two boys dying in infancy. Seven children and a step-daughter, Mrs. Mart Jones, Algona, survive, and all attended the funeral. The children are G. S. Parsons, Choklo, Minn.; Mrs. Mabel Brandow, Fairmont, Minn.; Mrs. Mabel Gress, Hamar, N. D.; Mrs. Edna Harr, Irvington; Mrs. Florence Frambach, Whittemore; Sumner Parsons, Irvington; and Mrs. Vergie Smith, Burt. There are 29 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the Rev. A. H Wood, of Good Hope, officiating, assisted by the Rev. A. English, Algona. Burial was made at Irvington.
Mr. and Mrs. Parsons were one of the pioneer couples of this vicinity, having lived on their farm northwest of Irvington since their marriage. The first few years they lived with Mr. Parsons' parents, but later a new house was built and other improvements made. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last September.
