FUNERAL OF MRS. PARROTT
Pioneer Woman Laid to Rest in Lone Fir Cemetery.
The funeral of Mrs. Ann Eliza Parrott, a well-known pioneer woman, was held from her recent home, 604 East Couch street, yesterday afternoon and was attended by many pioneers and friends of the family. Rev. W. H. Heppe, D. D., pastor of Centenary Methodist Church conducted services at the house. Simple and beautiful floral tributes were placed on the casket. Dr. Heppe, in the course of his discourse, mentioned Mrs. Parrott as one of the pioneer women of Oregon, whose life had been an unselfish one, and one who had lived mainly for others.
W. B. Hall, Joseph Shade, A. A. Kaderly, John L. Wells, Rudolph Schmeer and George Sick were the pallbearers. Interment was in Lone Fir Cemetery, by the grave of her husband, Thomas Parrott, who died eight years ago.
Mrs. Parrott was born in Illinois in 1846, and came to Oregon with her parents when she was but two and one-half years old. The family first setted on French Prairie. All save one of her surviving children were present at the funeral. These are Mrs. A. S. Greene, Armond [sic: Armand] G. Parrott, Archie I [*], Samuel H., George C., Richard L. and Henry Parrott. Thomas W. Parrott, the absent son, lives in Galveston, Tex.
