    • A Pioneer Preacher
      Rev. William Parker is dead.
      He was one of the best known Baptist preachers in Kansas.
      Coming to the state long years ago he gave his life to the upbuilding of the church of his choice.
      He was a missionary and founded many churches in the Ninnescah Valley [Kansas] and ministered to many of them.
      Rev. Parker died at his home in Valley Center Wednesday night and will be buried today at Clearwater. He was a man 83 years of age, but still active in the preaching of the gospel.
      A service was held at Valley Center and one will be held today at Clearwater.
      A good man has gone to a great reward and "his works do follow him."
