Arrangements by Barker Funeral Home. “Charlie” was a familiar figure in Trenton as he always had time to stop and “josh” his friends a little, to leave them in laughter – a victim of the contagion of good cheer he spread among his friends. Even while seriously ill prior to his death, he enjoyed a story and a laugh, and he gleaned as much as the pleasant side of life as one possible could, displaying a youthful outlook at all time, in spite of the face he had been in failing health for several years. We know we’re going to miss him around this office, eh stopped in often to give us a little ‘devilin’ on his regular trips down town, and we know all his Trenton friend will miss him, too. Charles L.

In September 1904, he, with his family, moved to Arapahoe, Nebr., where they resided until 1923 at which time they moved to Trenton where they have made their home until this time. He leaves to mourn his passing, his loving wife, Catherine, four sons, Hugh W. of Chicago, Ill., Fred A. and Roy M. of Detroit, Michigan, and Ross of Trenton, three daughters, Mrs. Mae Sander of Spokane, Wash., Mrs. Vera Williams of Stratton, Mrs. Florence Smith of Detroit, Mich., two half sisters, Mrs. Ada Sullivan of Hillsdale, Kansas and Mrs. Estella Kershner of Wellsville, Kansas, 18 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, many relatives and a host of friends, Little Eva preceded her father in death at the age of five years.

| 2879 | Murder Victim. The daughter of prominent banker Perry Parker, loving father of twin daughters, his nightmare would begin on December 15, 1927, while he thought his twin girls were safely at school. Marion Parker was unwittingly handed over to her killer by the school registrar at Mt. Vernon Junior High School. Her abductor, William Edward Hickman, had come to the school that day and said that Perry Parker, the girl’s father, had been seriously injured in an automobile accident and was calling for his daughter. On the morning of December 17, 1927, Perry Parker received a telegram reiterating the earlier demand for $1500 in exchange for his daughter’s life. Perry agreed to do whatever he needed for the safe return of his daughter, he arrived at the drop alone with the ransom money. He handed over the money to a young man who was waiting for him in a parked car. When he gave the money to Hickman, he was able to see his daughter sitting in the passenger seat next to him. But, when Parker got to Marion and took her in his arms he saw that not only was she dead, but she had been savagely mutilated. LAPD, the LA County Sheriff, and the District Attorney’s office had put all available men into the search for Marion. At that time it was the largest single manhunt in the city’s history. Suspicion settled upon Hickman, a former employee of Parker. Several years before the abduction, Hickman had been arrested on a complaint made by Parker regarding stolen and forged checks. The towel that was on Marion's body was the break that sent the police in the direction of Hickman. A week after the murder, officers Tom Gurdane and Buck Lieuallen found Hickman in Echo, Oregon. On October 19, 1928, Hickman mounted the 13 steps to the top of the gallows. He never expressed any remorse for what he did. Artifacts from the Marion Parker case are on display at the L.A. Police Museum. | Parker, Marion (I1467)

| 2887 | Mysterious Murder A Farmer Killed In Iowa – Apparent Lack of Motive – A Mysterious Affair. [From the Burlington Hawkeye, December 17] The people of Morning Sun, a village about twenty-five miles north of this city, in Louisa County, have been greatly excited over a mysterious homicide that took place about four miles this side of that village, just within the limits of this county, on the night of Monday, the 10th Inst. We have been in possession of the main facts for some days, but preferred to await the result of the Coroner’s Inquest, which enables us to present the full particular as far as known. The Victim Of this premeditated murder was Robert Glasgow, a young man of about twenty years of age, who resided in Yellow Springs Township, with his mother, a widow in very limited circumstances. He passed his time doing chores at home, and working for farmers around, but was inclined to be wild and kept company with a class of disreputable young men who had been suspected of many petty robberies that have taken place lately in that village. Glasgow, however, was not charged with any of these villainies and was regarded as a very decent young man, expecting this waywardness. The Murderer Is David Mitchell McClure, about twenty years of age, who lives with his father on the Wapello road, in Yellow Springs Township, about a quarter of a mile north of the dwelling of the deceased. His father’s name is John McClure, and he, with several brothers and sisters, compose the family. The prisoner is rather slim, about five feet six inches in height, has a downward look, shows very little signs of hard work, and from his appearance has evidently loafed considerably, though it is difficult to imagine that one so stupid and so artless could be guilty of such a cold blooded murder. His reputation in the neighborhood has been positively bad, roving about with a band of worthless characters, who with him, have been suspected of stealing hogs, horses, wheat, &c. Since the murder a great many petty crimes, committed of late in the vicinity of the tragedy have been attributed to him, with what truth we are unable to learn. The Murder Was committed Monday night about ten o’clock in a field near McClure’s home about three hundred yards from the door. That morning the deceased, Robert Glasgow and Taylor Mickle had set out on a hunt in the vicinity of Morning Sun and returned in the evening to attend a panorama on exhibition at the village. At the close they visited Wright & Thompson’s drug store and purchased a bottle of Red Jacket Bitters. While there, they were joined by Robert Barr and Cass Williams, young men and chums of the prisoner. On leaving for home Barr and Williams started on ahead leaving the prisoner, McClure, and the deceased, Glasgow, to come on together, as they were neighbors. The journey was made very pleasantly and when the Wapello road was reached, McClure succeeded in inducing his comrade to accompany him up the lane to his (McC’s) house rather than take the direct route for home. On coming opposite the house they crossed the field in which it is situated, passing a couple of stacks near the fence and taking a roundabout way to three other stacks that were about three hundred yards from the door. There Robert Glasgow ended his life. As soon as the fatal deep was done McClure started to the house and aroused his brother Thomas, stating that Robert Glasgow had suddenly fallen dead in a fit and asking his assistance to take the body to his mother’s. While yet warm the corpse was taken into McClure’s house, the prisoner making the strongest assertions that the deceased died in a fit. The body did exhibit any signs of violence and the neighbors readily assented to this explanation. Before the funeral , however, on Wednesday afternoon, a little suspicion began to arise that all was not right, some contending that Glasgow had been poisoned and that the poison was administered in the Red Jacket Bitters purchased that Monday evening at the drug store. The doctors of the village were requested to make a post moriam examination of the body but they refused till an inquest could be regularly held. The corpse was then buried and notice given to Coroner Wilder of the suspicious circumstances that attended the case. The jury having duly heard the evidence and examined the body of the deceased, returned the following verdict: “That the deceased, Robert Glasgow, came to his death on the night of the 10th of December 1866, supposed to be by the hand of David Mitchell McClure, by means of some round or blunt weapon by a blow, fracturing the skull.” The prisoner, who to the conclusion of the testimony had been regarded as an innocent man, finding that circumstances pointed very strongly against him, slipped away, and evaded the officers. Search was immediately instituted by Coroner Welder, and over fifty men who had anxiously listened to the proceedings, engaged in the pursuit, which occupied the whole of Saturday night. He was finally secured, and brought in irons to the city Sunday evening. Yesterday he was taken before Squire Wil___- counsel, B.J. Hill, Esq., waived an examination and he was formally committed to away his trail at the next term of the District Court, which sits on the 7th proximo. Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois.
