Died at St Vincent's Hospital
in Sioux City on Sunday Night.
J. C. Parks, a worthy young farmer, of Ashton township, died on Monday morning May 13, 1907 in the St. Vincent hospital in Sioux City, after an illness of seven weeks. He was taken severely sick seven weeks ago with pneumonia and two weeks ago was taken to Sioux City where he was operated on but the efforts of his physician were unable to stay the disease, and he gradually grew weaker until the end.
He was born in Douglass county, Illinois, December 25, 1874 [1872], and came with his parents , Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Parks to this county twenty seven years ago. About six years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Myra Jones, of Onawa, who now with two children, together with his father and mother, eight brothers and one sister, survive him.
He was a young man of good character and devoted to his family and was highly respected in the community in which he had spent almost his whole life. The funeral was conducted Tuesday afternoon from the Onawa Congregational church conducted by Rev. Zickefoose.
