This is another of the families that arrived from Audincourt, France. Unlike the others though, this one is not known to have any living male descendants who bear the Parrott surname.

There are other families that also came from Audincourt, as did this family: see families 14, 18, and 93. At this point, it is not possible to tell based on the paper record alone if these families are related. Therefore, a Y-DNA test from each would be the best way to tell.

.Notes: .HEARD FROM,
But Again Disappears.
-------
Miss Parrott Is Seen in Indianapolis.
-------
But All Trace of Her Is Again Lost-- The Mystery Deepens.

Muncie, Ind., October 12.-The citizens of Muncie are still in a fever of excitement over the mysterious disappearance of Miss Adele Parrott, the young school teacher. A person would think she is the daughter of every parent in the city, from the amount of interest that is being taken. All day prominent citizens have eagerly watched the bulletins, hoping to hear some news as to her whereabouts. Following the postal card received from her at Indianapolis, last evening, came a telephone message this morning from Miss Anna Guenther, who is bookkeeper at Lefler's art storage, on Meridien street, which stated that Miss Parrott called her on Thursday morning and returned again Thursday evening and borrowed $3, stating that she was going to return to Muncie, but this she has not done, and the mystery is deeper than ever. Miss Guenther and Miss Parrott were intimate friends.
Telegrams from Franklin, where she lived four years, state she has not been there, and a message from her father at Linn Grove says he has not heard of her. It is not very probable that she is still in Indianapolis, as the police and detectives have a description of her and would have her located.
Her sister, Miss Julia Parrott, arrived last night from Bluffton and is distracted over the disappearance of her sister. She says that at times her sister is very melancholy, which is the only cause she can give, thinking that she probably wandered off while suffering with one of those melancholy stupors.
Her father is an aged farmer and very wealthy, and she could live a quiet country life and have everything she wanted, but her ambition is to be foreign missionary worker, and she decided to teach school and support herself until she could gain her point. Becoming despondent, she wandered off in a temporary demented condition. If this is not the case she has been kidnapped and the postals that are being received are sent as decoys.
The excitement does not decrease, and it seems the citizens will not be satisfied till she is again safe among friends.

VISITED A FRIEND
Miss Adele Parrott Was Seen in Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, October 12.-The Indianapolis detective force spent the day in looking for Miss Adele Parrott, of Muncie, the teacher who disappeared so mysteriously from the city some days ago, but failed to find any clew (sic) of her since 9 o'clock yesterday morning. At that hour she appeared at the picture store of H. Lieber and had a conversation with Miss Guenther, a former friend who is employed at the store. Miss Parrott said she had come here to buy a cloak, and talked on various subjects, recalling the days of their friendship and appearing to be at ease. She spoke of her work in the schools and did not intimate that anything unusual had happened.
When Miss Guenther was seen to-day she said that she did not notice anything peculiar in Miss Parrott's action at the time of her visit to the store, but since hearing of her strange disappearance she recalled the fact that there was an unsteady light in her friend's eyes and nervous twitching of the muscles which appear now to be peculiar. Two of the professors in Franklin College, where Miss Parrott graduated, called the police headquarters at roll-call to-night, and gave the police a minute description of the missing teacher.

WELL KNOWN AT FRANKLIN
Franklin, October 12.- Miss Adele Parrott, the teacher who is missing from Muncie schools, is well known in this city, where she lived for several years past. She graduated with the class of last year in Franklin College, and stood well in college. While she never showed any symptoms of insanity here her friends incline to the belief that such is now the case. Two of the students have gone to Muncie to aid in the search. She has correspondents in this city, but hey have not heard from her since she began teaching in Muncie.

===========================

THE END
Of the Adel Parrott is Reached at Last
The School Ma'am Returns to Muncie and explains.
She Seems to Be Slightly Deranged Mentally.
The Interview With Her in Yesterday's News Told the Story - What Was Done Yesterday - Miss Parrott Leaves Muncie.
Miss Adele Parrott, the school teacher who disappeared Wednesday and caused the last week's sensation, arrived in Muncie on the 9:45 o'clock L.E.& W. train yesterday morning from Bluffton. She was accompanied by Rev. Hicks, of that city. They were met at the train by Rev. Clarke and Miss Julia Parrott. The party took a cab and were driven to the residence of Rev. Clarke, where Miss Parrott was called on by Superintendent Snyder and the representatives of the newspapers.
At 7:35 o'clock last evening Miss Parrot and her sister and Rev. Hicks returned to Bluffton. Miss Adele will stay there today, and will go to her home in Linn Grove tomorrow.
Miss Parrott did not seem greatly affected by the sensation which her disappearance has caused. She asked that the public be thanked through the News for the generous interest taken in her, however.
At 5 o 'clock last evening Miss Adele, accompanied by her sister Julia, met the members of the board of school trustees, and gave them a statement of her actions and the motives which impelled her to do as she has. This, with the particulars given below, concluded the doings of the day and ended the matter. Miss Adele will not return to Muncie. She will go to her home and take a long rest, which is thought to be the best thing for her at present, as he unmistakably is a very weak condition physically, and rather affected mentally.
SHE TELLS HER STORY.
Miss Parrott was found at the residence of Rev. Clark by a News reporter yesterday afternoon. She was asked to give her story, from the time she left the school house Wednesday up to yesterday afternoon. She was willing to do so, and told her story as follows:
"Last Saturday I received a letter from my sister, Mrs. Helen P. Walker, of Brant, Florida, saying that she was very ill, and asking me to come to her. This worried me a great deal, and then I had a little trouble with some of my scholars and this combined with the news from my sister, weighed on my mind to great extent. Wednesday morning I concluded to go to the postoffice and see if there was another letter for me from my sister. On the way down town I changed my mind and concluded to go to my sister. I took the Lake Erie and Western train for Indianapolis, by way of Tipton. I met a friend of mine, Mrs. Elgin, of Indianapolis, arriving there at 6:30 in the evening. I expected to take the early train from Indianapolis to Franklin, and sat in the union depot that night. But I changed my mind and thought I would do some shopping in Indianapolis. Then I thought of the reports that might come out because of my sudden departure from Muncie, and decided that I had better go to my home in Linn Grove and s e (sic) if any sensational report had gotten out. Before I left Indianapolis I called on a friend, Miss Guenther. Not finding her in I went away, but called again at 9 o'clock. Then I returned to the union station and took the Pan Handle train for Richmond at 11:50 o'clock. I arrived there at 2 p.m. and left at 7:35 that evening - Thursday - for Geneva. I arrived in Geneva at 9:30 that evening and stayed all night with a friend, Mrs. Carey. Yesterday morning Mrs. Carey showed me a Ft. Wayne Journal containing an account of my disappearance. Then I left for Linn Grove, walking there, a distance of six miles. Then my sister drove with me to Bluffton. I stayed at Rev. Hicks' while there and came to Muncie with him this morning."
Miss Parrott could not say just what her intentions as to the future are.
SHE'S NOT THE WOMAN.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Parrott went to the Davis house, accompanied by several of her friends and Chief of Police Miller, and the result of her visit was to completely set at rest all suspicions that may have arisen because of the story of a strangely acting couple staying there Wednesday night. Both Landlord Fordyce and his wife said that she was not that woman, and they also gave out the following signed statement for publication:
After seeing Miss Adele Parrott, who has just been here with the police and her friends, we make this statement: Miss Adele Parrott is not the woman who lodged here on Wednesday nigh and left on the 9:50 a.m. train on the Big Four Thursday morning. Furthermore, we never saw her before to our knowledge. John R. Fordyce, Mrs. P.L. Fordyce.
A letter from Miss Guenther, of Indianapolis, given the particulars of Miss Parrott's call on her Thursday morning, and a telegram from Mrs. Cary, of Geneva, saying that Adele stayed at her house Thursday night, are further evidences in substantiation of Miss Parrott's story of her actions since last Wednesday noon.
THINK SHE'S DERANGED.
It is almost the unanimous opinion of those who say and talked with Miss Adele Parrott, yesterday, that she is deranged mentally, at least to a small degree. She did not act like a sane person when she saw Superintendent Snyder. It would naturally be supposed that she would have shown some embarrassment and agitation, but instead she was cool as could be imagined and greeted him as if she had not been away at all. She has a rather dazed expression in her eyes, and stares vacantly into space until spoken to, when she will answer as calmly as if she were talking about the weather.
It is very apparent that she does not realize what she has done. She seems to be suffering from melancholia to marked degree. She has a preoccupied, mournful expression, and talks in a tired sort of voice. She tells the story of her wanderings without the slightest trace of feeling, or in fact, seeming to take any interest in the matter. Her smile is a childish one which marks those whose minds are deranged.
Her friends in Muncie are very glad that she has been able to straighten out the mystery of her disappearance, but they fear that she will not be in healthy mental condition for some time to come.

GRADUATE HERE WITH CLASS OF 1894 DIES
Mrs. Adele Schroeder, Retired South Dakota Teacher, is Buried on Monday

Franklin college lost another of its loya alumnae last week with the passing of Mrs. Adele Parrott Schroeder, for many years a teacher at White River, South Dakota.

Mrs. Schroeder, who died at the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis last week, was buried Monday at her former home, Linn Grove, near Bluffton, Ind.

She began teaching in the White River schools in 1912, retiring only recently, after almost tweny years of continuous service. She had written much poetry since her graduation from the local institution with the class of 1894, and her plans to have the poetry published will not be halted by her death, it is understood.

She was a teacher at only a small salary, but she lived frugally and saved from her slender earnings. Two years ago, at more than seventy years of age, she took the year off and attended the South Dakota State university.

During the past twelve years she has paid over to Franklin college, her Alma Mater, piecemeal, enough to endow four scholaships. Not one of those bears her name, but the funds will go on working throughout the years to help needy students in college.

"The total amount of principal represented by these scholarships is about $15,000," said William A. Burton, college treasurer, "yet at her death her sister said this benefactor had not a dress that was good enough to wear in her casket. She saved and economized that she might help others."

.Notes: .HOME FOR HOOSIER GIRL IN FAR-AWAY COUNTRY'
Indiana Baptist Women Will Provide for Miss Parrott.
RAISING A FUND OF $3,500

When the women's missionary jubilee was held in Indianapolis, some weeks ago, the women of the Baptist church held a rally and pledged themselves to raise a fnd of $3,500 with which to build a home for Miss Julia E. Parrott, their missionary in Burma. The fund was started at the rally with contibutions amounting to $800, the subscription list being headed by Mrs. Arthur Jordan, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. G.G. Mnnning, of Anderson.

Since the rally the Baptist women have been developing plans for obtaining the remaining $2,700, and the campaign to this end will be pushed during January. The campaign will be carried on by an organization made up of one member from each of the thirty Baptist missionary associations in Indiana. Their efforts will be under the direction of a central committee, mad up of one representativ woman from each of the Indianapolis Baptist churches and of the churches in Franklin, Greenwood and some other adjoining towns. Mrs. Roscoe O. Hawkins, of Indianapolis, is chairman of the central committee, and Mrs. Hugh S. Byrkit is secretary. Mrs. E.C. Atkins, vice president of the state missionary organization, and Miss Della Dearborn, secretary of the Indiana association, are other members of the central committee.

Steadfast to Her Purpose.
This Baptist fund is to go to providing a home for one of the most remarkable missionaries this church has sent from Indiana into the foreign fields. Miss Parrott was born and educated in Indiana, her being at Bluffton. She attended public school thre, was a normal student and then attended Franklin college. During her college years she taught school to earn money that she might continue with her higher education. When nineteen years old she began to correspond with the Baptist Woman's Board of Foreign Missions relative to work that she might do among the heathen, and during the years, she was educating herself, and keeping herself free from ties that might draw her from her purpose. After leaving Franklin college, she taught school for a year to obtain money to dismiss some debts that she had accumulated.

In September, 1895, Miss Parrott received the long coveted appoinment as a missionary, and was assigned to Burma. A teacher of hers, who had known of her purpose and persistency, said if Miss Parrott could not go into the foreign field any other way, she "would wak to the Atlantic coast and row herself across the ocean." She saild in October, that year, and her work abroad has sustained her persistency and devotion to a purpose.

First Years in Burma.
Her four years's service for the Paku-Karens were busy, fruitful years. She established a temperance society for the boys, saw the woman's foreign missionary society expand, nurtured the prayer meetings, watched the Sunday schools and rejoiced in the spiritual development of the native Christians. She spent much time with the jungle schools and churches, going to them during her vacations, visiting fifty different villages in on year.

All of this took physical as well as mental effort, and the endurance of the Hoosier girl was tested to the degree that she went to France in December, 1899, to recuperate, but failing there, he came to to the United States in May of the following year.

Miss Parrott began her second term of missionary service in the fall of 1903. She then entered a new field, worked for a new people, the Burmans, and studied a new language. The Mandalay school needed her help and she went there, succeeding Mrs. Cora May Spear Packer, formerly of Franklin, in the Sarah Osgood Howe Memorial home, where Miss Parrott has followed ou the plans of the school by training natives for little missionaries.

One Poor Room Her Home.
Miss Parrott is now doing evangelistic work. During the bubonic plague she went on with the king of effort and spirit that marks the faithful missioanary, while the Buddist priests fled from the victims of he scourge. During these years Miss Parrott has been practically without a home. She has lived in one room, low and uncomfortable, and so near the ground that it is an unsafe habitation in the damp Burma climate. And now the Indiana Baptist women, who have stood by her financially and have applauded her and encouraged her in her work, will build one of the most comfortable homes to be found in the Burma field, where Miss Parrott may live in a much better environment than she has known heretofore. Some of the most diligent women of the Baptist church have enrolled as workersin the campaign, and it is expected that the full sum desired will soon be raised.
