Notes: Died on Friday November 19th, at Columbia, Brown co., South Dakota, of malarial fever. William Parrott aged 21 years.
The body was brought to La Grace where the funeral was held yesterday. The deceased came to this county, in the spring of 1884, with his four brothers and his widowed mother settled about 5 miles from La Grace. He has since made it his home here until this fall when the failure of our crops compelled him to go into the older county for employment. His death was very sudden. He was sick but 12 days, and his brothers and mother were unaware of his illness.
He was well and most favorably known here as a pleasant and thoroughly reliable young man and in his death our little community feels that it has sustained a loss. His brothers and especially his mother have the hearty sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

Notes: Margaret Estelle "Peg" Parrott
Peg, 97, was born November 19, 1923 to Rev. Herbert Irving and Bessie Emeline (Fowler) Parrott in Springfield IL and died July 30, 2021 in Kalamazoo MI.
She moved to Ludington, MI in 1924 when her father was called to join the Presbyterian and Congregational churches into one church, the Community Church of Ludington. He died in 1926 when Peg was just two and half years old. Peg and her two older siblings were raised by their mother, who took a job as an elementary teacher to support the family. Peg graduated from Ludington High School as Salutatorian of the class of 1941. Ludington remained Peg's favorite place for her entire life. For many adult years, her little cottage, Peg's Playhouse, on a bluff on Lake Michigan near Buttersville, was enjoyed by her nieces and nephews and many friends. She graduated from Western Michigan College of Education (now University) in 1945 and took a job as a K-12 physical education teacher in St. Clair, MI for two years. She then taught physical education in Niles, MI from 1947 \endash 1980 with a one semester break while she earned her Master's degree from the University of Michigan. As a teacher, among other things, she sponsored the cheerleaders, the Girls Athletic Association and the Ushers Club. In 2014 she was one of the first honored as a Viking Legend educator by the Niles Education Foundation.
Peg was preceded in death by her parents, sister Mary Elizabeth and James Reynolds, brother Herbert Irving (Irv) and Faith (Brabbs) Parrott, niece Sarah (Reynolds) and Robert Carter, niece Jean Reynolds, and grandnephew Eric Wiseman.
She is survived by nieces Mary Joanne Parrott, Nancy (Jerry) Hampton and Katherine (Michael) Foley, and nephews Robert (Linda) Reynolds, James (Beth) Reynolds, Timothy (Judy) Parrott and Scott (Sandy) Parrott. The nieces and nephews were very important to her, as were the following next generations: grandnieces and nephews, Kim (Rick), Mandi (Ryan), Brandon (Kim), Rebecca (Anthony), Brent, Nathan, Cooper, Candy (Matt), Tim (Maritza), Wendy (David), Heidi, Julia (Elliot), Ryan, Bryce (Katie): great-grands, Kenny (Jessica), Kevin (Chloe), Alex, Courtney, Hailey, Lucas, Bella, Lili, Kyra, Nick, Max, Delaney, Michael, Erik, David (Megan), Chandler, Maddison, and Greyson: great-great-grands, Lukas, Kora, and Easton. Each one received a small gift of money on every birthday (to get some ice cream) and anniversary. It is impossible to relate exactly how much Peg loved all of her family. She is also survived by her former student, friend, and eventual caregiver, Jean Hollar.
After retirement from teaching Peg was deeply involved in her churches, visiting the homebound and becoming involved in and leading various church activities. She was a Deacon and Elder in the Presbyterian Church in Niles, was currently a member of the Community Church in Ludington and previously a member of Oshtemo United Methodist Church. She enjoyed two years as part of the GOAL (Gift of a Lifetime) program, working with older adults at the Presbyterian Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts. During her time there, she made many friends and happy memories, particularly buying her "Primitive" cabin in New Hampshire in the foothills of the White Mountains which she named Teddy Bear Hollow. She returned to that cabin most summers until 1996, when she sold it. Many good times were enjoyed there with the host of family and friends who visited over the years. She especially liked camping at Dolly Copp and the one time five hour climb up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire at the age of 71.
Peg enjoyed all sports, especially volleyball, softball and women's basketball at Western Michigan, loved to camp whenever and wherever she could, and was physically active until her last couple of years, walking daily. She was a role model for her students, several of whom became physical education teachers and who were her "kids".
In 2012 Peg was an Honor Academy inductee in recognition of her outstanding professional accomplishments, contributions and service to physical education by the Department of Human Performance and Health Education, formerly the physical education department at WMU. She kept in close contact with many former students, friends, and family and always sent cards for every special occasion and holiday. She was loved and admired by many and will be missed.
In honoring Peg's wishes, cremation has taken place with burial in Lakeview Cemetery in Ludington, MI on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 2:00 PM. Memorial contributions may be directed to The Community Church Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 369, Ludington, MI 49431 or to the First Presbyterian Church Foundation, 13 N. Fourth St., Niles MI B49120.
