JENNIE HAMMERS-PARKER
Jennie Hammers-Parker passed away at her home in Clearwater, June 10, 1952. She was 85 years of age.
She was born June 2, 1867 on a farm near Butler, Missouri. Her parents were Samuel and Melissa Hammers. Shortly before her birth the family had moved from Woodford County, Illinois.
In March of 1884 she came with her parents to a farm near Clearwater. She was an accomplished musician and gave piano lessons over the south part of the County for nearly 45 years. She used to tell of riding a pony over the country giving lessons in the various homes. Sometimes the sudden storms would flood the creeks, forcing her to ride to the heads of the streams in order to cross.
She was married to John William Parker, September 1, 1898 and to this union were born seven children who survive her. They are Wayne V. Parker, 630 S. Lorraine Ave., Wichita; Alice M. Parker of the home; Mrs. Catherine Kikendall of Golden, Colorado; Mrs. Melissa Thompson of Denver, Colorado; Moses C., Brown Y., and Willard A. Parker of Clearwater. There are also thirteen grandchildren.
She was a member of the Clearwater Baptist Church and the Eunice Sterling Chapter of the D. A. R.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, June 12 today at 10:00 A.M. at the Clearwater Baptist Church. Rev. James Bearden will conduct the services. Interment will be in the Clearwater Cemetery. Webb Mortuary of Clearwater is in charge of the arrangements.
