BABY DAVID PARKER ENTERS SPIRIT WORLD
David, year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Parker of Ethete, passed away at Bishop Randall Hospital Saturday and was placed at rest on Mt. Hope Monday. The little fellow had been ill with an intestinal infection for almost a month and everything was done in an effort to save his life. The last week or so mothers at the hospital have been giving of mother's milk in an effort to find a food for the child that would bring him nourishment. It was a gift of these new mothers to another mother in a brave attempt to save her boy.
D. Barrett P Tyler of St. Michaels conducted the service at Trinity Church and brought much comfort to the family. Little David leaves, besides his mother and father, his brothers Leslie, Leonard and Glen, and his sister Elaine.
The sympathy of the whole community goes out to this family in the loss of their youngest son and brother.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker and family have asked the State Journal to express their thanks to the many who have helped them along this sorrowful road, and to those who were so kind to their little son.
