The workmanship is excellent, and the new piece of furniture would he an ornament to any church. Ev- erything is hand made, even to the moulding, and with the mahogany panels neatly set in, is one of the finest samples of carpenter’s handi- work that we have seen in a long time. Besides the pulpit, Mr. Mofl'at also donated the collection plates and hymn boards, -‘ _â€" AA Next Sunday evening is commun- ion Sunday with the Presbyterian congregation here, with preparatory services tomorrow evening in the town hall.

Worry, ex- citement and great exertion in try- ing to erect a new dwelling house and barns told on his constitution. He did not. completely recover his health. Last winter he took ser. iously ill but partially recovered, only to again become ill, and al- though death was not expected it came suddenly Sunday morning, he pass1ng_ peacefully away. “In religious matters, he took a prominent part and was Superin- tendent of the Methodist Sunday School and later of the United church Sunday school. holding this position from the beginning of the Sunday School until his death. Last winter. Sunday school was held in his own home. “MrCParker was an ehthusiast in trying to make known the capabil- ities of agricultural Temisakming, “New Liskeard’s first. band had Mr. Parker for its leader, and he and members of his family have been associated with this band ever since. Even during 1924. Mr. Par- ker was the leader, but he was an all round bandsman and would take any part which was considered the best. for the band. Before coming to New Liskeard, he had been leader of the 33rd Battalion Band at God- nrich and later on moving to Dur- ham, became leader of the 3lst Bat- talion Band of Durham.

The July 9 issue of the New Liskearl‘l Speaker to hand was the. first intimation we had of the sail event. and as The Speaker covers the life history of the de- ceased more fully than we are able to, we. give it in full below: “ In the death of Richard Parker, which oerurre.-] early Sunday morn- ing at his home in line Park, it. may truly be said that a man of person- ality. a prominent. citizen and one most highly thought. of in Temis- kaming District, has passed away. “Mr. Parker. with Mrs. Parker and children. came to Temiskaming from the Town of Durham. County of Grey, in 1897, hence they were pioneers. Mr. Parker bought a section on the town line of Dymond and Harley bordering on the \Vabis River. and on the Dymond side of the line. At that time, the Parker family were the only persons living so far north in 'l‘emiskaming, and their first. winter was spent. in the dense forest. But soon a clearing was made. and a comfortable dwell' ing built. Mr. Parker was a mu- sician and a famous Bandmaster. Mrs. Parker and family also being musical and literary. a much hap- pier time than might have been imagined was spent. However, ere long they had many neighbm's. and when .it was discovered that the spot selected for a home was likely to become a nice Village, one of the sons, Arthur. suggested the name "lino Park.” FORMER RESIDENT DIED IN NORTH Mr. Richard Parker, a Former Well' Known Resident of Durham Thirty Years Ago, Answered Last Call Sunday, July 5, at His Home at Uno Park, Near New Liskeard.
