In the later 1800s, when Clearwater was a young community, some people saw the need for a Baptist Church. Moses Parker and his brother Wililam Parker were contacted in Illinois and asked to come to Clearwater and help start a Baptist Church. They came and the church was organized on 9 September 1876. There were 18 members.

From the Fraternal Order Death Index, 1873-1969. Moses Parker was a member of 100F Lodge No.265.

Parker and notices the fact that eh started two cars loaded with find cattle and sheep, fruit trees and implements for Wichita, and speaks with regret of the loss to the schools of Miss Nettie, his daughter.

Uncle Moses Parker was county Pioneer. Sixty years he served as a minister of the Baptist church. With the death of "Uncle Moses" Parker of Clearwater recently, there passed away one of the oldest and best known pioneers of Sedgwick County. He was 91 years old and for 60 years was a Baptist minister. Most of those 60 years were spent in the vicinity of Clearwater, as he came to Kansas in 1876 and settled close to that place soon after.
He had a prominent part in the development of Southern Kansas. He was born in Ireland and was an Odd Fellow. Altho in later years a minister, he was one of the "49ers".

Notes:

Robert Parker. Oldest Member of the Odd Fellow Lodge, dies at age of 89 years.
At his home in Cadott, Wis, at about 4 o’clock yesterday morning occurred the death of Robert Parker at the advanced age of 89, after an illness that has lasted considerable time. Mr. Parker will be well remembered here by old timers. For four years he has lived at Cadott with his good wife who survives him. They moved there from Brackett when they sold their farm at the latter place. Mr. parker was born on May 11, 1833 at Janesville, O., and came to Eau Claire about 1861, living here for many years and until he moved to Brackett. Besides his widow he leaves an older sister, who resides in Washington, Iowa. A sister of Mrs. Parker is Mrs. J.H. Goodwin, who lives on Fourth avenue, this city. The deceased was recognized as the oldest member, in years and in membership of Eau Claire Lodge No.140, I.O.O.F. and he may have been the oldest Oddfellow in the entire Chippewa valley. On Tuesday a delegation of his brother Oddfellows carried greetings to him. He was cheerful but very weak, but none supposed his death so near. Again on yesterday they visited the home, this time to complete arrangements for his funeral, which will be held on Saturday. After the funeral at Cadott the remains will be brought to Eau Claire and at 3 in the afternoon will be buried in Lake View cemetery with the Oddfellow ritualistic services, the lodge he was so long a member of being in charge.
The regular meeting of Frieden Lodge will be held this evening and officers of Eau Claire lodge will be present to announce details. All brother Oddfellows of city and vicinity are requested to attend the funeral Saturday afternoon.

M. PARKER McKEOWN. M. Parker McKeown, a well known farmer of Cedar township, where he has made his home for more than twenty years, was born in Des Moines county, Iowa, December 1, 1852.

He is a son of John and Annie (PARKER) McKeown, who came with their parents from Ireland to America in their childhood, living first in Ohio and later in Iowa. They were married in Des Moines county and there continued until their deaths. The father at one time was the owner of one hundred and eighty acres of land, all of which he divided among his children except forty acres that he owned at the time of his death. He was a man of many fine qualities and a great lover of his family. Of the eleven children comprising the home circle two died in infancy, the others being : Sarah, now of Mediapolis, Iowa ; James, who lives near Morning Sun, Iowa ; Mary, now deceased ; M. Parker, our subject ; John, who lives near Prairie City, Oklahoma ; Samantha, of Mediapolis ; Emma, of Burlington, Iowa ; Ira, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin ; and Albert, of St. Joseph, Missouri.

Reared on the home farm, M. Parker McKeown early became familiar with the labors of the field. He was educated in the country schools, gaining the foundation upon which he has been enabled to build successfully until he is now a man of good general information. He continued at home until twenty-one years of age and then worked for wages for a short time, after which he came to Conesville, Muscatine county, and purchased one hundred and eighty acres of land. There he lived until 1888, when he sold out and removed to Cedar township, acquiring fifty-seven acres, the nucleus of the well improved farm of two hundred and seventeen acres which he now owns. He is also the owner of property on East Hill, Muscatine, and his wife owns one hundred and sixty acres of good farming land in Orono township. By close attention to his business Mr. McKeown has attained a gratifying measure of success.

On the 12th of January, 1881, Mr. McKeown was united in marriage to Miss RHODA E. LORD, who was born in Muscatine county, May 7, 1851. She is a daughter of Richard and JANE SMALLEY Lord, the mother having been born in Ohio, October 27, 1822, and the father in Connecticut, January 10, 1809.
They were married in Iowa in 1840 and settled on a farm in Muscatine county, where Mr. Lord made his home for about forty years. He was called from earthly scenes in 1886, while his wife died in 1857. Of the nine children in their family, three are now living : Katie, of Conesville ; Rhoda E., now Mrs. McKeown ; and Richard J., of Nichols, Iowa . Those deceased are: Andrew, Albert, Edward, Byron, Manza, and Herman.

Two children came to brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. McKeown :
ADA R., born October 14, 1883 ; and
ALBERT G., April 8, 1886.

Politically Mr. McKeown adheres to the republican party and heartily supports its principles. He has served with general acceptance as justice of the peace. He and his wife are affiliated with the United brethren church, being active workers in its behalf and also in worthy causes for the welfare of others. Mrs. McKeown is a graduate of the Muscatine high school and for nine years before her marriage taught school, becoming recognized as one of the thoroughly capable teachers of the county. She is a woman of many attractive qualities of mind and heart.

Frederick Dalton Parker Leaves $15,000 Estate
Frederick Dalton Parker, who died December 12, leaving an estate valued at $15,000, and whose will was filed in the superior curt yesterday for probate, devised $30 a month to every child who may be born to either of his two brothers, Erol and William R. Parker.
The remainder of the estate was given away in small monthly allowances to various relatives. The will was made the day of Parker’s death, when he apparently was too weak to sign his name and so made his mark.

Anti-Race Suicide Gifts
Frederick D. Parker, who died in this city, the 12th inst., aged 35, was evidently a believer in the Rooseveltian theory that it is the duty of married folks to multiply and replenish the earth, to judge by his will filed for probate yesterday. The instrument was executed the same day that he died.
The chief asset of the Parker estate is stock of the Hawthorne Water Company, valued at $39,700, and this is left in trust for the benefit of the relatives of the testator, with Oscar J. Drum and Edward M. Lyon, as trustees, who are to hold the property for twenty-five years, and then turn over the stock or its equivalent in money to the two brothers of Parker.
A number of his relatives are remembered with gifts of from $25 to $30 a month during the life of the trust. Orrel Parker, a brother, of New York, is to be given $20 a month, and to his wife $30 a month is bequeathed for each child that is born to the couple. He also provides that another brother, William R. Parker of this city, be given $30 a month and, if he marries, that much additional is to be paid to each child born of the union. It is further provided that $100 shall be paid to Charles B. Boutwell, secretary of the class of 1886 of Princeton University, for the benefit of the organization.

Notes:

The Emporia Gazette, 15 Dec 1918, Monday

DR. CLYDE CULTER DEAD

Dr. Robert Clyde Culter, of the Christian Church Hospital in Kansas City, died this morning at 2:30, of double pneumonia following influenza. Two weeks ago Doctor Culter filled the vacancy of the physician at Lee's Summit and he gave all his strength and energy to alleviate the sufferings of the influenza patients there. A week ago today Doctor Culter was taken sick with influenza, and in a conversation over the phone to Emporia friends, said he was "all right." Pneumonia developed Wednesday night and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Culter, were called to Kansas City Thursday. Dr. Culter rallied somewhat and Mr. Culter returned home. Miss Ruth Jeremy went to Kansas City Friday and Mrs. Culter was again called on Saturday.

Doctor Culter was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Culter. He was born December 12, 1893, in Norton, Kan. Eleven years ago the Culter family moved to Emporia and Mr. Culter has been at the head of the Rural School department, of the Normal, since that time. Doctor Culter was graduated from the Emporia High School in 1911. He entered into athletics while in high school and the two years that he attended the Normal he was center on the football team. From the Normal he went to the University of Kansas to take up the study of medicine, and received his M. D. last spring.

Doctor Culter had tried three times to enlist in the United States Navy, and each time he was refused entrance because of physical disabilities. Last spring he underwent an operation in order to pass the examination, and was again refused, but he was kept on the medical reserve of the navy. After receiving his M. D. Doctor Culter practiced at the General Hospital in Kansas City, where he had worked while going to school. In September he went to the Christian Church Hospital as assistant surgeon to Doctor Jackson, who is in charge. Doctor Culter was a member of the Baptist Church and belonged to the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity of the normal and the Phi Beta Pi at the Kansas University.

He was a young man of much ability and of strong Christian character, and was universally loved and admired. He was thoroughly unselfish, always putting the comfort and happiness of other before that of himself. He was making good rapidly in his profession, for which he seemed especially fitted. He was to have been married during the holidays to Miss Ruth Jeremy, of Emporia. To Miss Jeremy, and to his parents and brothers, the town extends its sincerest sympathy.

Doctor Culter leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Culter, and four brothers: Carl Judson Culter, New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada; P. A. Culter and Raymond Culter, of Emporia, and Harold Culter, of the Great Lakes Training Station.

Funeral arrangements have not been made, pending the arrival of relatives.

(contributed)
Clara Nighswonger was born at Viola, Kansas, Oct. 18, 1889, and died at Blackfoot Jan. 10, 1917, aged 17 years 2 months, 22 days. She was united to Troy Cox in this city, Nov. 23, 1916.

At an early age she was converted and united with the Baptist church in Kansas. She lived a beautiful Christian life until her death is the testimony of those who knew her well. She leaves to mourn her death, a husband, father and mother, six brothers and four sisters and many friends here and elsewhere.
The funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Roy Cox were held at the M.E. Church last Sunday afternoon, in the presence of a large congregation of mourning friends. Rev. C.P. Johnson conducted the services and there was special music by a quartette. – Gooding Idaho News.

CONESVILLE MAYOR HELD FOR MURDER Accused of Shooting Dr. A. R. McKeown MUSCATINE, George Brown, 78, Conesville mayor, was charged with first degree murder Tuesday afternoon in the death of Dr. A. R. McKeown, 63, farm operator near Conesville. Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace said McKeown told him in a statement before the retired physician was taken to a hospital that Brown had shot him. The information charging the mayor with murder was signed by Deputy Sheriff L. G. Pace. Brought before Justice of the Peace L. A. Crull, Brown waived preliminary hearing and was committed to the county jail without bond. A short time earlier Sheriff Fred B. Nesper said he and an agent of the Iowa bureau of in investigation were questioning Brown in connection with the death of the one-time Seattle Wash., physician whose brother served a term in the penitentiary for killing their mother.

Wounds Prove Fatal. Dr. McKeown died Tuesday morning in an Iowa City hospital of gunshot wounds in the back. The sheriff said the mayor admitted seeing the farm operator Monday, but denied any part in the incident. Following the death, State Agent Dwight Bender came here to assist in the investigation which the sheriff said was intensified immediately. Dr. McKeown was shot in the back Monday, apparently by a shotgun, as he was rounding up cattle on his farm, about 18 miles west of Muscatine. The horse he was riding brought him to his home. Mrs. Stuart Conklin, a neighbor, noticed the horse and rider and called other neighbors who notified the sheriff's office. The doctor was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, after giving Deputy Sheriff Pace a statement. Sheriff Nesper said Brown owns a farm near the McKeown place.

Leaves Practice For Farm. Dr. McKeown attended the University of Iowa medical college three years and finished his studies in Denver in 1910, members of the family said. He served as a major in the medical corps in World War I. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Priscilla of Mt Pleasant; his father, M. P. McKeown of Conesville, and a brother, Albert, of Muscatine County. A son, Lovelll, was killed in World War II. His wife and mother are dead. The- doctor's mother, Mrs. Rhoda Emma McKeown, then 82, was killed at Seattle in March, 1932, while on a visit at the home of another son, Dr. Albert G. McKeown, then 45, and a Seattle dentist. Her body was found in the basement of Albert's home. The dentist was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 12 to 25 years in prison. On the completion of his term he returned to Muscatine County, where his physician-brother already was residing. Since then both professional men have operated farms near each other in the Conesville vicinity. Council Bluffs (Iowa) Nonpareil - Wednesday, October 30, 1946

Ady McKeown roomed at Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter - shot at midnight -he will recover. Ady McKeown, who roomed at the Y.M.C.A. building and taught school south of this city last winter, was shot in the left leg between the knee and hip Monday near midnight at the St. Louis world's fair ticket gate. Mr. McKeown was ticket man and refused to let two men in on one pass. This made one of the ruffians so furious that after a wrangle he shot Mr. McKeown. The couple immediately fled after the shooting. Mr. McKeown was taken to the Emergency hospital within the fair grounds and later by his request to the Sanitarium in St. Louis where the bullet was extracted. Mrs. S. A. McKeown, his aunt, who is a trained nurse in Burlington, (Ia.) was telegraphed and arrived at his bedside as soon as a St. Louis bound train could take her there. News of the shooting was received Thursday by the wounded man's brother, Albert McKeown, who rooms at the Y.M.C.A. building and is employed by the Batterson Stores. His brother Albert says from the latest reports that he has received his condition was somewhat better and probably would recover. The two ruffians are not know or as yet report to have been caught.

Artillerymen were responsible for the shooting of Ady McKeown, a former Muscatine boy in St. Louis October 10, according to a letter received this morning. The account of the shooting was given in the Journal recently in which it was stated that Mr. McKeown was shot by robbers. Later advices indicate that abusive artillerymen who were determined to enter the world's fair grounds, where Mr. McKeown was a gate keeper, were responsible for his injury. The victim is recovering nicely.

Dentist confesses killing of aged mother.
Argument over money leads to brutal murder.
Reputed confession of son withheld while probe continues. By the Associated Press. Seattle, Wash. March 3.
Police announced late today that Dr. Albert G. McKeown had confessed he killed his 81-year-old mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown of Muscatine, Ia., with bare hands in a dispute over money.
Dentist Admits Crime.
After two days of questioning, following discovery of the body of Mrs. McKeown in the basement of his home, the doctor broke down this morning, police said. He had been confronted with extensive evidence. “I killed her,” Sheriff Claude G. Bannick quoted him as saying after he had become quieted. Word of the reputed confession of the dentist was withheld by the prosecutor’s office while details of the case were investigated.
Detective Found Will.
Detectives said they had found a will Mrs. McKeown had made three days before her death. In it, they added, she had revoked a previous will which left the bulk of her estate to Dr. McKeown and provided that he share it equally with an old brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, also of Seattle.
They added they learned the elderly woman had drafted new notes to make a $10,700 loan to Dr. Albert McKeown payable to her estate, instead of being cancelled, if she died. The new notes were unsigned.
After McKeown’s confession, Sheriff Bannick said he was allowed to go to bed and was wakened late today.The confession was not announced earlier, the sheriff added, to permit more evidence to be assembled.
McKeown Makes Confession
Sheriff Bannick said Dr. McKeown “went to pieces, blew up and confessed.” In addition to the matters of the new will and the notes on his mother’s loan, cuts and abrasions on his left hand were evidence the officers queried him about, they said. The doctor had contended they were not cuts
(continued on page twelve)
but merely burns accidently received from a flat iron.
During the early investigation of the death, the doctor’s wife was questioned and released after spending a night in jail and the elder brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, also was brought into the case.
Affairs Readied Crisis
He had told Deputy Prosecutor Lenhan, the prosecutor said, of his irritation over the over the way in which his younger brother had obtained money from his mother and had said that affairs had reached a crisis between them on the day of her death. A portion of a blood-soaked piece of canvas and a piece of charred note was taken from the furnace of the dentist’s home after the mother was found dead. After explaining he had found her body in the basement, the dentist said he had covered her with the canvas and then threw it into the furnace, and substituted a blanket. His story to authorities was that he believed a marauder had slain her in the basement seeking $5,000 in bonds which he said she was accustomed to carry in her clothing.
Mrs. McKeown came west last December with her younger son from her home in Iowa.
Note: This front page story shared the page with news of the kidnapping of the Lindberg baby.

Jury excused as state argues with defense over testimony about victim.
By the Associated Press.
Seattle, Wash. April 27.
The jury in the Dr. Albert G. McKeown murder trial was excused today when the state began a fight against defense efforts to show his mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown, 81, was mentally unbalanced. McKeown is charged with second degree murder as a result of a fatal beating given her in the cellar of his home here March 1.
Mrs. Martin Jacobson, a neighbor of the McKeowns, was testifying regarding the dead woman’s talk and actions when Prosecutor Robert M. Berrander interrupted with the statement “The first thing we know the defense will be striving to show the old lady deserved to die.”
“That is not true,” retorted Defense Attorney Henry Clay Agnew. Mrs. Jacobson quoted Mrs. McKeown as saying her sons were going to take her into a dark place to murder her. It developed, the witness said, they were taking their mother into a motion picture theater.
The jury was locked up when both sides began an argument on the admissibility of the testimony. The defense effort for force admission of the state’s copy of the dentist’s confession to the beating failed when the court ruled the state need not produce it.

Dentist Takes Witness Stand.
Prosecution Confronts Defendant With Sheaf of Letters Written to Mother.
By The Associated Press, Seattle, Wash, May 2.
After being subjected to cross-examination throughout the day, Dr. Albert G. McKeown, Seattle dentist charged with second degree murder for the slaying of his mother, Mrs. Rhoda McKeown of Muscatine, Ia., late today was confronted with a sheaf of letters, he had written to his mother.
Altho the dentist had testified his mother begged him to bring her to Seattle so his brother, Dr. A. Royal McKeown, Seattle physician, could not have her committed to an insane asylum, he admitted authorship of letters, begging the woman to come here.
The dentist when questioned as to why he had attempted to implicate his brother in the killing said the brother “tried to implicate my dear wife.”
Dr. McKeown explained that when he sent for his physician brother after the tragedy he had expected solace and consolation.
Prosecutor Robert M. Burgunder replied with a letter which the dentist admitted writing to his mother in which he referred to the physician as a “thief, a murderer, and libertine.”
