Parrett of Newberg, and W alter W. and Charles A. Parrett of Parrett mountain, passed away at the old homeeteud on Parrett mountain Wed nesday afternoon at 4:30, Mrs. Par rett had lived on this homestead since her marriage In 1867 and is well known throughout this entire section of the country. •Arrangements have been made to hold funeral services at the M. E. church In Newberg, Friday, Decem ber 2, at 1:00 p. m., and at her own request. Rev. Moffltt will officiate. The Interment will take place at the Pleasant Hill cemetery on Par rett mountain. Obituary Martha J. Ellison was born in Mercer county, Virginia, February 6, 1846, and passed away at her home on Parrett mountain east of New berg on November 30, 1921, aged 76 years, 9 months and 25 days. She moved from Virginia to Mis souri in 1855. In 1865 she, with her parents, crossed the great plains by ox teams, coming to' Oregon. She was married to Henry Par rett in Yamhill county near what is now the city of Newberg in 1867, and to this union four sons were born, three of whom are still living. Her husband preceded her to the great beyond on August 1, 1909. The four sons were John H. (deceased), Samuel L. of Newberg. and Walter W. and Charles A. both of Parrett mountain. S. L. Parrett is president of the United States National Bank of Newberg, while both Charles and Walter Parrett are living on the old Parrett homestead. One by one the old pioneers are passing out but they leave, as did Mrs. Parrett. a wonderful heritage in the form of stalwart sons or queenly daughters, to help make better the world to which they came. Through the years of their pio neering they endured great hard ships which in most cases butided strong characters. Their work of settlement and improvement of this pioneer western country should be and is remembered by the state and nation and there is a real feeling of sadness that their ranks are so fast thinning out. Mrs. Parrett was highly respected by all who knew her and was one of those high-type ladies, refined and cultured and a true mother. She will be sorely missed not only by the family, but by a host of friends. G raphic NEWBERG, YAM H ILL COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1, 1921 No. 9 S. P.
