Mrs. D. T. Parker, of Anniston, died Sunday morning, the 21st inst of pneumonia, the same disease which had, but a short while before carried off an idolized son. Following the death of her son came the critical illness of one of her daughters over whom she watched until she was out of danger. These constant and anxious vigils weakened her powers of resistance and when the fell disease struck her, she became an easy prey. She was a most estimable, christian lady and was greatly beloved in Anniston, where she was known for her unobtrusive charities and kindness of heart. The husband and father has the heartfelt sympathy of friends throughout the State in his deep affliction.
