Knoxville, Tenn.—April 8, 1950 —
“A Florida salesman was found dead in his hotel room Saturday. His neck was clamped in a suit case, his head inside.

Knox County coroner Sydney Wulfenbarger said he believed Bert Parks about 70, of Lakeland, Florida, died of a heart attack. He had been treated by a doctor Friday night.”

“The coroner theorized Parks had the seizure while sitting in a chair, then fell, striking the suit case and jarring the lid so it closed on his head”

In memory of the late Chas. F. Parr, who passed away 2 years ago, May 6th.

In every life are certain days
That press the aching heart.
The anniversary of the day
Some loved one did depart.

Tho time may heal the bitter grief
Assuage the mourner's woe,
Deep in the heart the ache remains
We'd rather have it so.

Obituary.
On the 28th of Feb. the infant son of Mrs. John Parr fell asleep to awake in Heaven. The Master who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" has again called unto Himself one of his little ones. Thus while there is sorrow because of the parting, yet the bereaved ones know that.

"God has taken him away
From our midst unto His throne;
Surely what He wills is best
Happy in His will well rest."
