The family legend is that Catherine Stuart Parrott died and that James Parrott married again. Apparently none of the children approved of the new wife. She is the reason given for William Stuart's decision to join the U. S. Army and she is also given as the reason for John's decision to join his brother, William Stuart, in Mexico as soon as he was old enough to
leave home.

"William Stuart enlisted in the war of 1812 in November of 1814. He was discharged after having received a wound in the Battle of New Orleans, which caused him to limp for the rest of his life."

"Left home permanently in 1816. His actual movements are difficult to trace, but between 1816 and 1822 he lived part of the time in Cuba and he undoubtedly learned Spanish and studied dentistry in this time. In 1822 Dr. W. S. Parrott, dentist, went to Mexico. By the time he returned to the United States in August of 1826, he acquired a wife by the name of Adele Parrott. A family story says the first wife of William Stuart Parrott (ie, Adele) died and was buried at sea. This story may or may not be true. We do know that William Stuart Parrott's wife, Adele, sailed from Vera Cruz to Philadelphia on 19 August 1826."

1845 - Sent to Mexico by President James K. Polk as his confidential agent to ascertain "the temper of the present Mexican Government towards the United States . . . to restore friendly relations between the two republics."
1848 - 1852 Returned to the United States. This was the end of his foreign service for the U.S. Government.
1851 - Awarded $71,000.00 plus interest on his claim vs. Mexican Government. The U.S. Government paid this claim under the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
(This is about 10 cents on the dollar as the original claim was for about $710,000.00).

Notes: San Mateo's John Parrott family
By Darold Fredricks Mar 16, 2009 Updated Jul 12, 2017

Born in 1811 in Virginia, John Parrott had it all when he purchased the 260-acre Captain Macondray estate west of Ed Taylor's San Mateo House site on El Camino Real for $30,000.

Macondray called his place Brookside, but Parrott changed it to Bayside. The San Mateo Creek, with numerous Bay trees alongside it, formed the northern boundary of the property. John immediately began remodeling the old Macondray house that was on the property and, by 1868, he had created a Second Empire-style house that he and wife Abby could enjoy in the summer when they ventured down from San Francisco.

John Parrott had been the U.S. Consul at Mazatlan, Mexico at the height of the Mexican American War in the 1840s. In this role, he corresponded with important national leaders such as James Buchanan and Daniel Webster, as well as California leaders such as Thomas Larkin.

These contacts proved valuable later when Parrott moved to San Francisco and started a financial and shipping empire that made him very rich. Commerce and banking became Parrott's life. He built a legendary "fire proof" business building at Montgomery and California streets out of granite imported from China. In 1853, he married Abby Eastman Maher in Mobile, Ala. and settled at their home on Rincon Hill in San Francisco.

In the summers, the Parrotts attended the Catholic Church in San Mateo. They were very conservative people, not the typical big party givers that one associates with the wealthy people on the Peninsula. When in residence there, Parrott often commuted to and from San Francisco by train. The arrival of the train often became a big event in the lives of the locals who would gather on Main Street to observe the comings and goings of the well-to-do.

Parrott's family grew to include six daughters and one son. The eldest daughter, Mary Katherine Parrott was married in 1879 to an aristocratic young Frenchman Christian de Guigne. De Guigne was an agent for a French banking firm. After their marriage, they bought the property fronting Third Avenue and El Camino Real that the Husing family had used for their first general store. The Husing store now sat on the corner of B Street and Third Avenue.

The Ben Franklin Hotel was built on this site in 1927. The de Guignes named the property "Minne-haha" after Katherine's nickname "Minnie." De Guigne was the co-founder of the Stauffer Chemical Company and served as president. He also was a partner with C. E. Whitney, John Stauffer, and August H. Schilling when the Leslie Salt Company was formed. After the 1906 earthquake damaged their Catholic Church, the members met in the large stable that the de Guignes had on their property.

Daughter Abby Josephine ("Daisy") married Captain A. H. Payson in 1884. Payson became director of the Spring Valley Water Company (now the San Francisco Water Department) after a distinguished career in the Army.

He had been an Army engineer and taught at West Point for a few years until 1877 when he was transferred to San Francisco. His work included overseeing construction of lighthouses while with the Lighthouse, Rivers and Harbors Department.

He bought the property in San Mateo south of the de Guignes, facing Fifth Avenue and El Camino Real.

Baywood proper became the residence of son John Jr. who married Mary E. Donohoe. Daughter Grace married attorney Robert Young Hayne in 1881.

The Haynes lived on today's West Fifth Avenue.

John Parrott Sr. died in 1884 at age 74. His wife Abby died in 1917 at age 89. They are buried at St. John's Cemetery.

"Although John Parrott joined William Stuart Parrott in Mexico in 1829, the earliest passport for John was 1711 issued on 5 July 1832. He is described as 22 years of age, Stature 6 feet, Eyes hazel, Nose pug, Mouth large, Chin broad, Hair dark, Complexion fair, and Face round. After working with William Stuart in Mexico City, John started working as a clerk in the mercantile business that William Stuart Parrott and Samuel Talbot established in Mazatlan. Some years later in 1837 John applied to the U.S. Government to be U.S. Consul in Mazatlan. A series of letters in the National Archives, Department of State, Consul Dispatches Mazatlan, 1828-1906 lists the recommendations, qualifications, etc., that John had for the job. It was on 30 December 1837 that John Forsyth wrote John Parrott of his appointment as U.S. Consul in Mazatlan.

"Besides his consular duties, he also had his mercantile business. In 1838 William Talbot left the firm of Parrott, Talbot and Co. The firm dissolved and John Parrott organized a new mercantile house called Parrott and Co.

"During the two-year Mexican-American war period John went from Mexico City to Vera Cruz to New Orleans to Havana to Washington, D.C. He was not reappointed to U.S. Consul to Mazatlan until mid-1848.

"John's resignation as U.S. Consul in Mazatlan was submitted to the department of State on 9 April 1850 and later that same month he left for San Francisco. In the next two years, John bounced back and forth between San Francisco and Guadalajara and paid two visits to Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, in 1851 a fire leveled three of the buildings that he owned in San Francisco; consequently, he decided to build a fireproof granite building."

San Francisco Bulletin dated 31 March 1884 (obituary)
"The Banker [Mr. Parrott] for a long time had disappeared from Montgomery Street, where his face was once so familiar. His declining years have been spent in the quiet of domestic life. Mr. Parrott was a pioneer of pioneers. He was one of the few Argonauts who brought money with him . . . His bank was one of the strongest institutions in San Francisco. It is withstood all the storms unshaken.

"Mr. Parrott belonged to a class of conservative bankers. He preferred that his money should remain in his vaults to be loaned out on weak security. There was no amount of interest that could tempt him. Only one case of a loan on doubtful collateral was quoted, and that was on a lot of hams which subsequently spoiled. 'No more hams' was the usual rejoiner when paper not gilt-edged was ever afterwards presented to the veteran financier . . ."

----
"In 1845 Captain Andre Castillero formed the New Almaden Company and John Parrott bought on Barra, 1/24th ownership in the mine. By the end of 1861 he had acquired another Barra from James Alexander Forbes. This gave Parrott 1/12th of the ownership, the additional Barra cost Parrott some $34,000. Parrott must have been very proud of the mine as he gave one of his children the middle name of Almaden (Grace Almaden Parrott 1860-1945)."

From The Nob Hill Gazette, May 1982, by J. Roger Jobson.

John Parrott: Portrait of a Pioneer

Baywood was the name John Parrott chose for his 450-acre San Mateo estate. Amid rolling hills, native oak and bay trees, this wealthy financier and shipping magnate built in 1868 a home for his wife, nine children, as staff of 10, plus gardeners and a dozen or more Chinese laborers.

The vast reaches of Baywood were once included in the great Rancho de las Pulgas, a Spanish grant to that distinguished branch of the Arguello family which gave two governors to California 'before the Gringo came.'

The house was a modified Queen Anne Victorian design with finials rising from a balustrade that swept along the length of the second floor. Th unusually symmetrical architecture and the elegant but restrained interior furnishings made an impression as dignified as was the owner himself.

Although the family also had an impressive residence in the city, it was at Baywood amid landscaped gardens and surrounded by his children that Parrott, then aged 57, lived out the active and well-ordered routine of his life. This gracious existence was the culmination of 40 years of adventure, work and shrewd investment.

Tennessee born, John Parrott at age 18 joined his brother's mercantile and importing business at Mexico City. His passport at that time describes him as 'six feet tall, hazel eyes, large mouth, round face and fair of complexion.' The business was successful and flourished. He was appointed United States Consul at Mazatlan from 1837 to 1846 and reappointed in 1848 until his resignation and move to San Francisco in 1850.

After leaving Mexico, but before settling permanently in San Francisco, 42-year-old Parrott traveled to Mobile, Alabama. There he met and married 24-year-old Abby Meaher. Miss Meaher was reluctant to marry at first and so Parrott, reminiscent of his years in Mexico, engaged musicians to serenade her in front of the hotel where she and her family were staying.

It is true that many of the pioneers to California were men of restricted means and education. Some came to seek their fortune, others to make a fresh start, or in some cases to escape capture and punishment by the law of the land. None of this can be said of Parrott, however, who by 1849 with his California interests well-established from previous visits, arrived in San Francisco with a fortune. He had already proven to be a man of learning and astute business accumen.

Within a few years, Parrott established a banking exchange to purchase gold dust and bullion that adventurous men were digging from the hills and panning from the Sierra streams. A partner in this adventure was W.B. Comstock, the man whose name lives in the annals of the West as the famed Comstock Lode.

The mid-nineteenth century on the Pacific Coast was a period of expanding commerce. California, no longer restricted by Spanish and Mexican jurisdictions, began to attract the shipping attention of the world. A notable characteristic of Parrott was his ability to foresee and adapt to the times. Soon sailing vessels owned or chartered by the Parrott Company sailed the trade routes: quicksilver to Hong Kong, wheat to Liverpool, rice and spices from the Orient and coffee from Central and South America.

Meanwhile, John and Abby Parrott's nine children grew, attended school'96 here, in England and in France'96 traveled abroad, married, participated in the social and cultural life of the city, continued their father's business interests and had children of their own.

Today's descendants of the private and conservative Parrotts continue to be a force in the Bay Area where their lives thread through and contribute richly to the tapestry of the city, giving it continuity, color and durability.

William G. Parrott heads the Parrott Estate Company and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Parrott Ranch Company. William and his poised and stately wife Mary have three sons who represent the fifth generation.

A sampling of other fifth generation Parrott descendants are: Joseph A. Donahoe, V, an active and urbane member of the city's cultural and social life, a graduate student in viticulture at the University of California, Davis, and a member of the governing body of the University of San Francisco's annual symposium; Marc de Tristan, Jr., a graduate of Harvard's School of Business, charity fund-raiser and treasurer of the Nob Hill Association; Richard Thieriot, Editor and Publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle, and his brother Christopher, Vice-President of Western Communication, Inc.; Christian de Guigne, IV, a partner with his brother Charles in the Chateau Senejac Vineyards at Haut Medoc in France, part owner of the New York based travel firm, Ports of Call, and a leading authority in antique arms.

In her definitive biography of her illustrious ancestor, Barbara Donohoe Jostes tells of the death in 1884 at the age of 73 of John Parrott. 'His had been an active life, spanning the years of early trade on the West Coast of Mexico and the Gold Rush. His was the age of sail, the Pony Express, the Overland Mail, the Telegraph, the first steam ships and the building of the Transcontinental Railroad.

'He experienced the devastating fires in the early years of San Francisco, the violent days that brought into being the Vigilantes, and survived the panics in the banking world. Friend of many, exacting himself and others, John Parrott contributed to the advancement of the state and to the city by choice.'

============
John lived in Mexico for a number of years before settling in CA.

John had 2 illigimate children while living in Mexico, who he later brought to the US. He and Abigal had 8 children.

John was a US Consul in Mexico. He became a millionaire, was president of a bank and owned a lot of land. There is a picture of him on the San Francisco Public Library website as well as pictures of his San Mateo mansion.

=================
< >
The Parrott family of San Francisco are perhaps the most exclusive people in that city. Mr. John Parrott, the head of the house, who has been dead for several years, was a very wealthy banker and lived, during his early life, in Mexico. There he married a beautiful Mexican girl, but in later years, after a family had come to them, it was whispered that there was some flaw in the ceremony which them one. Mr. Parrott was devotedly found, however, of his children and adopted them legally. The daughter of this marriage married a Scotch physician and had three children, two sons and a daughter. When Mr. Parrott married his second wife those children very very fond of calling her grandmamma, but the lady, with a stern determination that they should understand exactly the relationship they occupied toward her, was prone to resent the endearment.

Entered English language school in Massachusetts when he was ten years of age.

Then was educated in Paris. Tiburcio came to San Francisco at age twenty-two to live with his father and stepmother.

The St. Helena Star on 15 May 1885 reports: "Tiburcio Parrott and Fritz Beringer left Friday morning behind a handsome four-in-hand driven by Judge Elgin for a trip to the Sulphur Bank Mine in which property Mr. Parrott is largely interested . . ."

Due to the increasing cost of operation and the declining price of quicksilver, the Sulphur Bank Mine declared bankruptcy in 1883. The final footnote of the operation by Tiburcio Parrott is found in an item in the Napa Register of 7 September 1883: "On the 17th inst. A sale of delinquent stock in Sulphur Bank quicksilver mine of Lake County, will take place in San Francisco at the assessment being twenty-five cents per share. D.O. Mills holds about $4,000 and John Parrott $3,500 worth of the delinquent stock, but the bulk of the stock belongs to Tiburcio Parrott."

Built Miravalle (used as the setting for Falcon Crest TV series) in 1885.

the St. Helena Star sate 4 September 1885 describes the house in construction and the property at that time:
Something less than a year ago, the well-known Forbes place, situated on Spring Mountain, south of the reservoir of the St. Helena Water Works, was purchased by Tiburcio Parrott, a prominent banker of San Francisco, and with the transfer of title commence a system of improvements on this property which has in a few short months changed it almost beyond recognition. Nearly two weeks ago we drove over this fine estate in company with Mr. Parrott, and on every hand our eyes rested on evidences of the wonderful changes accomplished by the well-directed expenditure of abundant means.

===
In 1885, its very first year, the parrot Winery produced some 8,300 gallons of wine according to "Vintage of 1885" report published in the St. Helena Star on 20 November 1885. This was quite a respectable beginning for the winery which was to produce some very fine and famous wines. Leon D. Adams writes in The Wines of America, "A duplicate of the Rhine House was built by their uphill neighbor, Tiburcio Parrott. Parrott grew grapes for the Beringers on his great estate, which he called 'Miravalle' for it view of the [Napa] valley. He also made his own wines, and the late Almond R. Morrow once told me that a Miravalle claret called 'Margaux' was the greatest California wine produced before Prohibition."

Obituary: 9 November 1894 the St. Helena Star:

"T. PARROTT DEAD. ST. HELENA MOURNS THE LOSS OF HER GREATEST FRIEND. His death was unexpected. He entertained with a lavish hand, visitor from California, from all nations and was the friend of the rich and the poor. The people of St. Helena were shocking Monday morning upon hearing that Tiburcio Parrott had passed away.

Although Mr. Parrott had been in ill health for several months, and for the past two years had been troubled at times with pains in the pit of his stomach, no one dreamed of his being in any immediate danger of death. Sunday night he was taken for worse and rapidly failed, dying at 7:05 the next morning [5 November 1894], the cause being cancer of the stomach. . . Since his marriage Villa Parrott was been open to all comers. The Rothschilds and the men of wealth, influence, and notoriety from all over the world have enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Parrott. The people of St. Helena have been just as welcome and no one ever felt otherwise than at home when under their roof . . . He leaves a widow among other relatives to mourn his loss. The remains were placed in the family vault [on St. John's Cemetery, San Mateo, California]."

======================
REST CAME SOON.
Tiburcio Parrott Passes Away Suddenly
IN HIS ST. HELENA HOME.
A Prince of Good Fellows Is No More.
GENEROUS EVEN TO A FAULT.
Death Visits When Least Expected at the Chateau de Mira-Valle in Napa County.

Tiburcio Parrott died rather suddenly yesterday morning at the Chateau de Mira-Valle, his country home near St. Helena. The news of his death was conveyed to his family in this city by telegraph, which simply stated that he died.

About a month ago Mr. Parrott began to complain of pains and trouble in his digestive organs, but as no alarming symptoms showed themselves little attention was given the disorder. "It is only an attack of indigestion," he would say, and then relying on a splendid constitution to carry him through he neglected to undergo treatment. Shortly before midnight Sunday he was taken suddenly with pains in the stomach. The pain grew into agony with great rapidity, and very soon the sick man was completely prostrated. He lived but a few hours, as the end came early in the morning.

Mrs. Parrott was at his bedside at the time. Mrs. A.M. Parrott, stepmother of the deceased, went to St. Helena on the first train yesterday, before the dispatch announcing Mr. Parrott.s unexpected taking off was received in this city.

Mr. Parrott was about 54 years of age. He was the son of the late John Parrott, the pioneer banker, who for many years was a leading man in the mercantile community. Tiburcio was born in Mexico, and when of an age to leave home he went to school at Jamaica Plains, near Boston. In later years he finished his education in Europe, where he acquired knowledge of French and Italian in addition to Spanish and English, in which he was already well read.

Returning to America, he was placed in a position in the firm of William T. Coleman & Co. in New York. This was in 1860. Young Parrott did not make much of a success as a sedate clerk, being of a restless dispostion and rather inclined to enjoying the good things of life. So he was brought by his father in 1862 to San Francisco.

Immediately on his arrival here went into his father's banking-house, then conducted as Parrott & Co.

Later on he withdrew from that firm and formed the house of Alson & Co., together with the late William F. Babcock, about 1864. For six years he was a member of the Alsop & Co., but in December, 1869, the firm merged its business into that of Parrott & Co., which is still in existence, although Tiburcio Parrott had no interest in it for ten years past.

Shortly after the death of his father, John Parrott, Tiburcio withdrew from city life and took up his residence at Chateu de Mira-Valle in Napa County. And for a decade now the bons vivants missed his genial company. Meanwhile he was engrossed in producing high-grade wine which became a fad of his. He studied works on wine-making and improved his knowledge and skill in the alluring industry, so that it is said of him he could indentify wine from from almost every vineyard in California by smell or taste.

Abour five years ago Mr. Parrott married Miss Tuffy of Carson City, Nev., whose father has been a prominent man in Nevada. There was no issue of this union.

In his younger days Tiburcio Parrott was noted for his profuse liberality and generosity. To a fault, his friends declare, he was generous. And though he retired to his ranch for a quiet life none of this characteristic forsook him, for the Parrott house was widely known though its princely host. This is brought out very vividly in the deciatory verse of a book by Adolphe Flamant to Mr. Parrott as follows:

Un bon garçon permi les princes,
Et le prince des bons garçons.

A good fellow among princes, and a prince of good fellows.

Indeed it is said of him that he spnt over a million in the very abandon of hospitality and pleasures with his friends.

Truly he lost fortunes in mining speculations. The Herman mine cost him an immense sum of money, and he also lost on his Guerneville quicksilver mines. These reverses, with extravagance in entertaining Bohemian friends and in social channels, reduced his wealth given him by his father to a comparatively nominal amount.

To his liberal patronage Tojetil, the painter, was deeply indebted. Mr. Parrott was a patron of art, as local artists attest. It was he who sent Toby Rosenthall to Munich, there to be educated in painting. While Rosenthal was in Munich Parrott ordered him to paint Elaine, a picture which has since become famous. The artist produced the picture, but Mrs. Johnson saw it in Munich and became its owner. It would have been Parrott's, only the painter raised the price over that already accepted, and his patron was so annoyed he fell out with Rosenthal. Tavernier and others of the old-time San Francisco artists looked upon Parrott as a benefactor.

Cancer of the stomach was the cause of Mr. Parrott's death.

No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral.

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

Nothing remains of Parrott City, in fact, the site is on private property and even its exact location has been difficult to determine. Not even aerial photographs show foundations for of a town of approximately 50 structures. Obscure or not, this town was once the La Plata County seat and had its own newspaper and post office.

Although historical accounts vary on the dates, Capt. John Moss and C.D. Posten explored the La Plata River area and found placer gold in the stream beds.

Moss was from San Francisco, and at the time, he was around 45 years old. He had a slender, wiry build with long hair falling over his shoulders. Historians seriously doubt he held the rank of captain and believe the title was honorary.

Moss returned with a group of fellow Californians in 1873. Realizing that he was trespassing on Ute Indian land, he made his own treaty with Chief Ignacio. The Indians granted the prospectors the right to mine and farm on a 36-square-mile section of land. In exchange, the prospectors gave the Indians blankets and 100 ponies.

Moss returned to his San Francisco home with the signed treaty and specimens of gold-bearing quartz. He showed them to a banker, Tibercio (also spelled Tiburcio) Parrott.

A mining company was formed, and Parrott provided funds for Moss to continue exploration in the La Plata River area. In exchange, Moss named the small camp he had established Parrott City.

In 1873, the Ute Indians signed a formal treaty with the U.S. government relinquishing their rights on the San Juan Mountains, including the La Plata River drainage.

The Parrott City site is void of any original structures and is located southwest of Mayday. Modern homes occupy much of the site.

In 1876, using equipment hauled in by wagon, the first sawmill began operation. At this time, about 50 people lived in Parrott City.

As milled lumber became available, two stores, a hotel and a number of shanties were constructed. Parrott City got its own post office in 1876 under the name "Parrott."

The post office closed in 1885, then reopened two years later and remained active until 1898.

One visitor described Parrott City's residents as engaged in continuous celebration. Whiskey allegedly was carried around in a water bucket. Everyone in town was invited to take a dip in much the same manner as water is delivered to field hands.

John Moss kept a large barrel of whisky in his office. It sat on its side and was tapped with a faucet. Tin dippers hung on the wall behind the barrel, and every visitor was invited to take a dipperful. No restrictions were placed on how many times during the day a visitor might call.

In 1876, the same year Colorado became a state, an election was held to establish a county seat in La Plata County.

Moss rounded up his men to cast their votes for Parrott City. Parrott City won and remained the La Plata County seat until 1881 when it was moved to Durango.

John Moss set a record as a state legislator by never attending single session.

By 1885, Parrott City had grown to 250, and more than 500 claims had been filed in the area. Out of these, only 20 were being mined.

Some coal was mined nearby, and ranching and farming supported the town's economy. A mining engineer predicted placer mining at Parrott City would soon end after the removal of the surface gravel.

Large boulders, buried deep below the surface, limited placer mining. Tibercio Parrott read a report with these details and withdrew his financial support.

Parrott City died, and Moss returned to San Francisco.

As Parrott City declined, one old-timer and the postmaster were all that remained. Over the years, the buildings were razed, and the place became a cattle ranch.

Ghost town historian Muriel Sibell Wolle stated that most of structures were torn down in the 1940s and that the Barbee Hotel was the last structure at the site. It burned to the ground after being struck by lightning in 1963.

Kenneth Jessen has lived in Loveland since 1965 and has contributed to area newspapers for more than four decades. He has written more than 2,000 illustrated articles published along with 20 books. Jessen is in his third year teaching adult education at Colorado State University (OSHER program) and has lectured in Northern Colorado.

Marriage Notes: Stately Mansion Is Destroyed by Early Sunday Morning Blaze

Flames Claim Parrott Home
The old residence of John and Abby Parrott, which was destroyed early yesterday morning in a fire believed to have started through defective wiring.

THE HISTORIC old Parrott residence on Parrott Drive, Baywood Park, was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. Although timely arrival of the San Mateo fire department enabled the firemen to bring the blaze under control, the beautiful old manssion, built in 1860, was damaged beyond the point of repair.

In recent months the old house has been preserved by the Baywood Park Company as an attractive landmark in conjunction with the subdivision of the big Parrott estate of 375 acres. A caretaker and his family resided in the rear part of the home, but there was no one in the hosue at 2 o'clock yesterday morning when the flames were discovered. The caretaker's family is now vacationing in Monterey and the man himself spent Saturday night in San Francisco. Considerable property belonging to the family was destroyed or badly damaged.

It is believed that the fire was started by defective wiring. The wood in the house was so seasoned that the slightest spark could have started the blaze. The theory that it was of incendiary origin was broken down when firemen found all doors and windows in place securely locked, just as they hada been left by the caretaker when he departed on Saturday afternoon.

The old Parrott home was for years a show, placed of the peninsula. It was built 68 years ago by the late John and Abby Parrott, and for nearly 25 years was the center of social activity in the bay region. In recent years it was unoccupied, except by the caretaker. Only a short time ago the former servants' quarters went up in smoke, that fire having been started apparently by tramps who slept in the place. Several years ago the old stables and barns went up in smoke, destroying many carriages and vehicles of ancient vintage.

John Williams, president of the Baywood Part Company, today expressed regret that the old place had burned.

"We had preserved the old Parrott mansion as a relic of former days and it blended well with the aristochratic layout of Baywood Park," said Wililams. "Recently we used it for a builders' exhibit and everyone who entered the place was impressed with its stately appearance."

Mrs. Parrott was 89 years old. Mrs. Joseph A. Donohoe, a daughter, was the only member of the family present when the end came after several months of failing health.

Mrs. Parrott, acknowledged leader of San Francisco society for many years, was born in Maine and received her education in the East. She accompanied to California a school companion, Miss Mamie Parrott, daughter of John Parrott, the founder of the Parrott fortune. Later she became the wife of John Parrott, who besides his daughter, had one son, Tiburcio Parrott. Miss Mamie Parrott later became Mrs. Robert Nuttall.

KEPT UP WITH THE TIMES
Until the end Mrs. Parrott kept abreast of the times, maintaining her interest in world affairs even during the ast two or three years when she was confined to her country home. Since the fire of 1906 she had lived continuously in San Mateo. Her home in San Francisco, the scene of many brilliant social gatherings prior to the fire, was situated on Sutter strett, above Powell.

As her children married, Mrs. Parrott, who owned an immense amount of property in San Mateo, built homes for them adjoining her own country place, Haywood, and also built homes for several grandchildren.

When her husband died, leaving a vast estate, Mrs. Parrott assumed personal charge of his affairs, managing his estate with unusual skill. She was active in all charitable and social betterment movements.

Funeral arranagements will not be made until word is received from Mrs. Grace Hayne, another daughter, who is in the East.

"Parrott's family grew to include six daughters and one son. The eldest daughter, Mary Katherine Parrott was married in 1879 to an aristocratic young Frenchman Christian de Guigne. De Guigne was an agent for a French banking firm. After their marriage, they bought the property fronting Third Avenue and El Camino Real that the Husing family had used for their first general store. The Husing store now sat on the corner of B Street and Third Avenue.

"The Ben Franklin Hotel was built on this site in 1927. The de Guignes named the property "Minne-haha" after Katherine's nickname "Minnie." De Guigne was the co-founder of the Stauffer Chemical Company and served as president. He also was a partner with C. E. Whitney, John Stauffer, and August H. Schilling when the Leslie Salt Company was formed. After the 1906 earthquake damaged their Catholic Church, the members met in the large stable that the de Guignes had on their property."

Notes: Commuted.- By a telegram from Col. E. Polk Johnson, Wednesday, as we learn that the President commuted the sentence of John W. Parrott, under sentence of death in Arkansas for murder. In his order the President says: "I am not quite willing to pardon absolutely this convict, after his conviction of murder and after a denial of a motion for a new trial, based substantially upon all the papers now before me. I am entirely satisfied that he ought not to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, but I do not think that when he killed the Elder McAdams he was so 'driven to the wall' by the attack of his assailant as to clearly excuse the taking of life. I do not think the convict invited the attack, but in considering the application for his pardon I can not overlook the fact that he armed himself and went to the place where the man was who had threatened to kill him before night. In the belief that the prisoner should be punished for the part he took in this homicide and that he is guilty of a crime much less than murder, I have determined to commute his sentence to imprisonment at hard labor for the term of five years." Parrott was formerly of this county and is a brother of Mrs. Peter Hamton, who was almost driven crazy by suspense.

Interior Journal, Stanford KY, 7 Jan 1887, p 3
=================

-- Mr. Peyton Parrott, a brother of John W. Parrott, who recently had his death sentence commuted to five years' imprisonment by President Cleveland, said to your correspondent this morning that while he had wished for full pardon for his brother, yet he was much ____ by the President's decision in his brother's behalf.

Interior Journal, 7 Jan 1887, p 3




Last week the United States marshal at Fort Smith received a telegram from Washington announcing that President Cleveland had commuted the death sentence of John W. Parrott to five years imprisonment. Parrott is a carpenter by trade and in July, 1885, was working with a man named McAdams in the Chickasaw Nation. They had a quarrel which resulted in the murder of McAdams.

Notes: From Wikipedia:

"Nuttall was born at San Francisco in 1857 to Dr. Robert Kennedy Nuttall and Magdalena Parrott. She specialised in pre-Columbian Mesoamerican manuscripts and the pre-Aztec culture in Mexico. She traced the Mixtec codex now called the Codex Zouche-Nuttall and wrote the introduction to its first facsimile publication.

"She was educated in France, Germany, and Italy, and at Bedford College, London. She first came into prominence on the publication of her work on the "Terra Cotta Heads of Teotihuacan" in the American Journal of Archaeology (1886). She was appointed Special Assistant of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard, and was named Honorary Professor of Archaeology at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico.

"She was the basis for D.H. Lawrence's character Mrs. Norris in his novel The Plumed Serpent."

=============
"Zelia Maria Magdalena Nuttall was born to an Irish father, Dr. Robert Kennedy Nuttall, and a Mexican-American mother, Magdalena Parrott Nuttall, in San Francisco on September 6, 1857. Raised in Europe, Nuttall acquired her education in France, Germany, Italy, and England, where she studied at Bedford College, London. In 1876 when Zelia was nineteen, the Nuttall family returned to San Francisco. Four years later, she married French anthropologist Alphonse Louis Pinart, whom she lived with in the West Indies, France, and Spain until 1882 when they returned to San Francisco and their only child Nadine was born. The Pinarts separated in 1884 and were divorced in 1888.

"Nuttall first went to Mexico for five months in 1884 with her mother, younger brother, sister, and daughter. During this time she worked for the National Museum and collected terracotta heads from San Juan Teotihuacan. After living in Baltimore for a year, she moved to Dresden, Germany, where she resided until 1899. During this period she made trips to California, Europe, and Russia. With the support of Curator F. W. Putnam, Nuttall was an Honorary Assistant in Mexican Archaeology at the Peabody Museum from 1886 until her death in 1933. In 1888 her work, "Standard or Head-Dress? An Historical Essay on a Relic of Ancient Mexico" was published as the first monograph in the first volume of the Peabody Museum Papers series. In 1902 Nuttall settled permanently in Mexico and twice visited the ruins of Yucatan. During the same year she purchased her home, Casa Alvarado, where she pursued her archaeological studies as well as her interests in Mexican gardens and botany.

"Much of her work investigated early manuscripts. In 1890 in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence she re-discovered the Codex Magliabecchiano XIII.3 which she was able to publish in 1903 as "The Book of the Life of the Ancient Mexicans" (University of California). Nuttall was responsible for tracing the Zapotecan manuscript from the monastery of San Marco in Florence to its owner of the time, Lord Zouche of Hayworth. This manuscript then became known as the Codex Nuttall and was published as such in 1902 by the Peabody Museum. She continued to uncover similar manuscripts in the archives of Mexico, New York, and England.

"Nuttall was a pioneering figure in her recognition of archaic (pre-Aztec) culture in Mexico and became an authority on the "sun cult" in ancient Mesoamerica and Peru. Her work "A Penitential Rite of the Ancient Mexicans" was published as the seventh monograph in the first volume of the Peabody Museum Papers series in 1904. She was a prolific writer and published many monographs, often using her knowledge of contemporary texts to buttress her work on archaeological findings. Nuttall died at Casa Alvarado, Coyoacan, Mexico, on April 12, 1933, an esteemed member of countless academic societies, an honorary Professor of Anthropology at the National Museum of Mexico, and an award-winning scholar.

A San Francisco native, Nuttall was educated in Europe. In 1867, she returned to San Francisco and married French anthropologist Alphonse Louis Pinart (whose papers are in the Bancroft collections). They divorced in 1888 and Nuttall pursued a scholarly career in Mexican archaeology. She was the first anthropologist to recognize the historical value of ancient codices. Prominent among the Mexican codices she discovered and studied were the Codex Nuttall and the Codex Magliabecchiano. She served the nascent department as Field Director of the Crocker-Reid Researches in Mexico. Nuttall was the first anthropologist to recognize the historical value of ancient codices.

=====================
From Encyclopaedia Britannica:

"Zelia Maria Magdalena Nuttall, (born Sept. 6, 1857, San Francisco, Calif., U.S.'97died April 12, 1933, Coyoacán, Mex.), American archaeologist, remembered for her extensive investigations of ancient Mexico.

"Nuttall was the daughter of a physician. Through her mother's Mexican ancestry she had early developed an interest in that country, and on a visit there in 1884 she studied some archaeological artifacts. Her paper on the small terra-cotta heads found at Teotihuacan was published in 1886 in the American Journal of Archaeology. The paper attracted attention in scholarly circles and won her appointment as honorary special assistant in Mexican archaeology at Harvard University's Peabody Museum and, the next year, a fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"From 1886 to 1899 Nuttall lived in Europe, headquartered in Dresden, Germany, but traveling widely for study and to attend scholarly congresses. The results of her wide-ranging investigations were published in The Fundamental Principles of Old and New World Civilizations (1901), in which she traced cultural parallels between ancient Middle Eastern and American civilizations and hypothesized that culture may have been carried to the Western Hemisphere by Phoenician explorers; in Codex Nuttall (1902), a facsimile of a pictographic historical record of ancient Mexico that she had discovered in a private library in England; and in The Book of the Life of the Ancient Mexicans (1903), which printed in facsimile the Codex Magliabecchiano, a similar pictographic work that she had found in Florence.

"After a brief stay in the United States in 1899'961902, she settled in the Casa Alvarado in Coyoacán, a suburb of Mexico City. There she continued her investigations. In 1904 she was field director of the Reid-Crocker archaeological mission from the University of California, where she had already served as an adviser to the department of anthropology. In 1908 she was made honorary professor in the National Museum of Mexico. From 1911 to 1917 she was abroad during Mexico's revolutionary disturbances, and during that time she published New Light on Drake: Documents Relating to His Voyage of Circumnavigation, 1577'961580 (1914)."

MARRIAGE OF JOHN PARROTT, JR, AND MISS DONOHOE.

UNION OF MEMBERS OF TWO WEALTHY SAN FRANCISCO FAMILIES-- IMPRESSIVE CATHOLIC CEREMONIES -- THE FLOWER, THE MUSIC, AND THE PRESENTS IN DETAIL

From the San Francisco Examiner, April 20.

A more notable event than has marked the social history of San Francisco for many years was the wedding of Miss Mary Donohoe and John Parrott, Jr., yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, at St. Ignatius Church, corner of Van Ness-avenue and Hayes-street. The groom is a son of John Parrott, the retired millionaire banker, is a native of San Francisco, and is 23 years of age. The bride is an only daughter of Joseph Donohoe, of the banking firm of Donohoe, Kelly & Co., and is also a native of this city. She is a decided brunette, and is said to be one of the most beautiful women in San Francisco. Long befoe the hour the spacious steps of the sacred edifice was thronged with a surging crowd of people of various classes, each eager to do honor to the scions of two pioneer families, whose beneficient deeds lingered in the minds of all. Women and children crowed about, and many were the stories told of kind acts performed by the bride. It seemed as though she had used her wealth but to lend assistance to the needy and look out for the wants of the poor. In the vestibule on either side were tropical greens of the most varied kinds and gorgeous shapes. The main altar was aglow with 300 candles, and the festoons of choicest flowers were innumerable. Six snow-white doves, each bearing in its beak a bouquet of rare white exotics, with "M" - "J" wrought in violets, were a beautiful feature. On the Gospel side was suspended a magnificent floral anchor, and a cross hung from the Epistle side, while between the two, in Tojetti's famous painting of "St. Ignatius's Glorification in Heaven," the patron saint appeared with outstretched arms. The side altars of St. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Sacred Heart, St. Francis, and St. Aloysius were each elegantly and appropriately decorated. Over the different doorways were wreaths of smilax, dotted with camellias, while in numerous alcoves and over the railings delicate ferns and conservatory greens were wound.

Before 11 o'clock the reserved pews were filled, and only the arrival of the bridal party remained to complete the grand picture. The families arrived at 10:45 o'clock and took seats in the front pews. At this time, the orchestra, composed of 50 leading muscians, under the direction of Louis Homeler, rendered a selection, "L'Arlesienne," (Bizet,) in excellent style. The music, most of it written for the occasion, was thoughout, the grandest ever heard in San Francisco. Precisely at 11 the bridal party made its appearance in the following order: Joseph Donohoe, Jr., the groom's best man, followed by the ushers, Messrs. Murphy, Angier, Beck, Bowie, Shelden, Wheeler, Greenway, and Twiggs. Then came six bridesmaids, two by two. These were Miss Isabella Parrott with Miss Mary O'Connor, of San Rafael; Miss May Parrott with Miss Fannie Doyle, of Menlo, and Miss Christian Parrott with Miss Daisy Casserly. After these came the bride, leaning upon the arm of her father. The bridal robe was the very perfection of elegance, and was composed of the most magnificent satin of a rich creamy tint. The skirt was entirely plain, with the exception of a narrow box-plaiting of the same around the train, and at the base of the front square-cut tabo fell over the fine knife-plaiting. The body, which was cut pointed in front, was long-sleeved and high-necked, with a corsage bouquet of orange blossoms. Over the skirt was most artistically draped an abundance of wide flouncing of old family lace, round point, and point de Venice mixed. Dependent from the coiffure and fastened with a diamond star was a long tuile veil, which entirely manted the figure. A necklace and bracelets of pearls completed the handsome toilet.

Mrs. Donohoe was costumed in a hellotrope satin, elaborately draped in rich blank lace, festooned over the front and sides, and falling in a profusion of soft puffs in the back and down the train. Magnificent diamond jewels added much to the toilet. The brides-maids were dressed alike,, in short suits of white surah satin. The wore large white chip hats, trimmed with white flowers, long Sara Bernhardt gloves of undressed kid, and black satin slippers with black silk hose. Each young lady carried a little muff composed of flowers and ribbons.

As they entered the orchestra struck up a march, "Raff Suite," which was continued during the movements of the party toward the chancel. When they reached the altar railing the gentlemen separated, as did the ladies also, and the bride and and groome seated themselves upon a gorgeous cushion of green velvet. As the bridal group moved up the aisle, the Most Rev. Archbishop Alemancy, attended by a numerous retinue of priests and 85 acolytes, made his appearance. Immediately before performing the marriage proper, his Grace was vested with the Pontifical robes. Father A. Raggio, assisted by Father Imoda, acted as master of ceremonies.

After an earnest exhortation by the Archbishop, the bride and grooom, assisted by D.J. Murphey and Tiburcio Parrott, entered the Chanel, were received by the officiator, and the impressive marriage ritual of the Catholic Church was rendered. His Grace was assisted by the Rev. Father Kenna, President of St. Ignatius College, as Deacon, and the Rev. Father Pinasco, President of Santa Clara College, as Sub-Deacon. Seated in the sanctuary were the Rev. Dr. Byrne, of Australia; The Rev. Drs. Comerford and King, of Oakland, and the Rev. Fathers Reardon, Isola, Brunengo, Demasini, Dossola, Galliano, Kelly, Maraschi, Messae, Neri, Pollano, Prelato, Raffo, Sullivan, and Tadini, of the Society of Jesus. The ceremony occupied about 30 minutes. After Paternoster the newly married coupled entered the sanctuary, and, kneeling before his Grace, received a particular blessing, and a prayer was said for their future welfare.

After this impressive feature the chorus, consisting of Signors Parolini and Muller and Messrs. Hughes, A.H. Sheere, C.E. Floyd, J. De Fremery, Frederick J. Bulton, C. Waite, and J.H. Carleton, sang a "Nuptial Ode," written by A.A. Wheeler, set to music by Edgar E. Kelly, and dedicated to the groom. Following this the Rev. Aloysius Varsi solemnized the marriage mass, "Missa Pro Sponsalibus." At the beginning Rossini's "Gloria" was rendered by the Orchestra, after which "O Salutaris," a baritone solo composed expressively for the occassion by Louis Homeir, was sung by Herr Jacob Muller. After the offertory, the soft music of Bizet's adagietto, "Suite Arlesienne," was given. St. Saen's "Inviolata," a tenor solo by C.P. Hughes, was touchingly rendered during the singing of mass. At the end the reverend Archbishop gave a general blessing to the whole assemblage, after which the bridal party left its place. As it passed down the aisle Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was pealed forth, and the large crowd of people withdrew.

The newley married pair and a number of friends were driven to the residence of the bride's parents, No. 526 Harrison-street. The reception party consisted, besides Mr. and Mrs. Parrott Jr., of Mr. and Mrs. Donohoe, Mrs. Parrott Sr., Mrs. De Guigne, Misses Isabel, Mary, and Christian Parrott, Mary O'Conner, Fanny Doyle, and Daisy Casserly. The spacious residence, which was darkened and lit by gas, was lavishly decorated and was a perfect grove of flowering and tropical plants. The main parlor, in which the reception was held, was a gorgeous scene of flowers and twining vines. The floral decorations were disposed in such a manner as to show to great advantage the magnificent collection of paintings, statuary, and other articles of virtu arranged about. In the bay window, where the happy couple took their position, the profusion of palms and variegated pot plants was a noticeable feature. At the top, above a double heart of tuberoses, and white camelias, was the motto, "Ad Multas Annos," in choicest flowers, and on each side of a floral true lover's knot was a snow white dove, while below all a garland of rare greens and blossoms hung. On a large mirror in the background was a gracefully wrought monogram, "M.J." and to complete the picture, in each corner of the window was a harp compsed of beautiful flowers. Prominent among the floral offerings was one from M. Forest, late French Consul for this city, a pyramind of 80 white camelias, presenting a most exquisite appearance. Others equally beautiful were received from Mr. and Mrs. Eugene P. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Alphonso L. Pinart, Miss Lander, Judge R.F Morrison, the Misses Eyre, Mr. and Mrs. M.J. Rodrigue, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Wilson, Inez Fabbri-Muller, Mr. and Mrs. J.G. Kittle, Mrs. W.S. Keyes, and Mrs. Alfred Wheeler. The newel post in the stairwell was covered with greens and calla lillies, and the hall was a perfect picture of the tropics, bananas, lime trees in bearing, bergonias, ferns, and cactus being prominent. The back parlors, the library, reading rooms, and dining room were also decorated profusely. At the proper hour a dèjeuner, handsome, artistic, and bounteous, was served. During the reception, which lasted from 1 o'clock to 3, an orchestra under Mr. Homeier rendered some charming selections. At the latter hour, after wishing a the happy couple all the blessings of a long and happy life, the guests began to depart.

About 4 o'clock the bride and groom left the house amid a shower of rice, and entering the carriage, over which a tiny satin slipper was thrown, drove to the speciaal car that was to convey them to Menlo Park. The bridal traveling dress consisted of an olive-bronze cashmere trimmed with satin and a hat to match. After a stay at Menlo Park, Mr. and Mrs. Parrott, Jr., will proceed to New York City; from thence they will sail on May 17 for Europe. They will make a tour of the Continent for about two years, after which they will return to San Francisco, which will be their permanent residence.

The bridal presents were a collection such as has seldom been seen in this city. Among the many were a coffee set of the most unique and beautiful design, the cups being in the shape of pond lillies, and the ware made in the tints of the natural flower. This is a gift from Mrs. Hoguet, a relative of the family, who lives in New-York. Another coffee set was of Royal Worcester ware, setn by Mr. and Mrs. S.F.

The bridegroom's present to his lovely young bride was a superb necklace and cross of diamonds.

A peculiar and interesting coincidence in this notable affair is that both parties are natives of San Francisco, have lived continously within one block of each other, and always in the same houses from which they parted to be joined together in the holy bonds of matrimony.

Lost 2 Brothers in Front in World War

John Parrott, 53, member of one of San Mateo's most historic families, died at Mills Memorial hospital after a short illness this morning.

He was a grandson of the late John Parrott, early pioneer who set up the vast Parrott estate which once formed a large portion of what is now the city of San Mateo.

In the two generations from the older John Parrott, the family has become related by marriagae to the Tobin, Redington, Crocker, Donahoe, DeGuigne, de Tristan, Hayne, Payson and numerous other families, all prominent in historic annals of the county.

Lived On Estate
The grandson of the early pioneer lived at 600 El Camino Real in what was known as the "bungalow" of the former vast Parrott estate. The original Parrott home stood on West Third avenue and, after having been destroyed by fire several years ago, was replaced by a modern apartment house.

The third John received his early education in San Mateo schools, then attended Santa Clara university. He received his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from Georgetown university at Washington, D.C., and then attended Fribourg university in Switzerland.

Served In War
He was a graduate of the first officer's training camp at San Francisco presidio and served as a first lieutenant in the 347th Field Artillery of the 91st division during the World war.

For many years he was associated with the Parrott Estates compajy and had spent the last few years in retirement at the San Mateo family home.

He was the son of John Parrott Jr. and Mary Donohoe Parrot. He was one of ten children, six of whom are still living. His sisters are Emilie, who became Mrs. Wilberforce Williams, Abby, who became Mrs. Edward J. Tobin; Josephine, who became Mrs. Lawrence W. Redington; and Miss Barbara Parrott.

Two Killed in War
Still living are his brothers, William G. and Stephan Z. (sic) Parrott. Two others, Joseph A. and Edmund A. Parrott, were killed during the World war, and fifth brother, Francis C. Parrott, was killed in an automobile accident.

The first John Parrott was one of the leading shipping magnates of ealry California history and helped to build the firm of Parrott & Co., which he founded in 1855. One of his principle claims to fame came with his construction of the Parrott's Granite block on Montgomery street in San Francisco.

This building was so solidly constructed that it withstood numerous early fires and the great earthquake of 1906. The building was finally torn down in 1926 to make way for a modern structure.

Built in 1860
His principle interest, despite his active part in business, was in his family of one son, the father of the third John Parrott, and six daughters. Two of these still remain, Grace Parrott Hayne, who still leaves on the Hayne estate west of El Camino Real in San Mateo, and Mrs. Joseph A. Donahoe, wife of the mayor of Atherton.

In 1860, the first John Parrott built the large family home in Baywood. From that date on, his interest in San Mateo county affairs increased rapidly and he played a large part in progress and upbuilding of the city and county. His home in Baywood was built when less than a dozen houses stood in San Mateo.

Included Baywood
The Parrott lands once included all of Baywood, the majority now subdivided and developed into modern residential area, and a large portion of the land now occupied by the city part and Third, Fourth and Fifth avenue business frontages. While Third avenue property has been opened several years, Fourth avenue was opened over a year ago.

During the later years of his life, the original John Parrott spent most of his time here and engaged in raising pure-bred horses. At the age of 74, he died at his home in San Francisco, which stood at 620 Folsom street, next to the home of General Folsom.

Funeral Friday
Funeral services for the third John Parrott will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock with requiem mass being celebrated at St. Mattew's Catholic church. Interment will be in St. John's cemetery, the cemetery given to the Catholic parish by his grandfather and where other members of the prominent family have been buried.

Services are under the direction of N. Gray & Sons mortuary in San Francisco.

TWO CLUBMEN IN FIST FIGHT
John Parrott Jr. Dragged From Country Club by Heels; Suspension Results.

A black eye and a bandaged nose are being nursed by John Parrott jr., at his peninsula home as scars of a battle that was staged in the presence of men and women at the Burlingame Country Club. Parrott has been suspended from the club by the board of directors, and so has G. Maurice Heckscher, New York captialist, who recently came here to play polo.

Hecksher, who is occupying temporary quarters at the San Mateo Polo Club, is the man who mussed up the features of Parrott. One of the results of the fight is that Parrott has canceled his engagement to play in the Northern California championship golf tournament.

Some members of the Burlingame Country Club have formerly questioned the judgement of the directors in suspending Heckscher, whol (sic), they maintain, had reason to be provoked. Parrott has been suspended for two years and Heckscher for two years. Various versions of what caused the fight were being retailed yesterday among the members of the club. According to one give the widest currency, Parrott was talking with a woman in the club when a a member came along and told him he should remove his hat.

Parrott is said to have replied to this rebuke in words that caused both the lady and the man who had spoken to him to withdraw, Heckscher overheard the remarks made by Parrott and resented them. "I'll give you five minutes to leave the club," he said to Parrott. Parrott's reply is said to have included language that carried the quarrel beyond the borders of wordy warfare.

In another moment they were having a milling fight, which ended when Parrott was knocked down by Heckscher and dragged out of the clubhouse by his heels. "It's a matter about which I wish to have nothing to say," was the only comment made by Heckscher at the San Mateo Polo Club yesterday. "I'll say nothing about it," said Parrott at his home.

Some of the number, after months of preparation, have found that they are disqualified through having some relative an officer in the service, as was the case with Miss Josephine Parrott, whose brothers, Lieutenant John Parrott, Jr., Joseph Parrott, William Parrott and Edmund Parrott, are all in the service, Edmund Parrott being in France at this time and the others expecting to be there in the course of a few months. Miss Parrott, unable to carry out her scheme of doing Red Cross work in France, where she has many relatives and friends, and where she has frequently visited, gave up that idea in favor of a post with the food administration at Washington, D.C.

Notes: E.A. PARROTT OF SAN MATEO MEETS DEATH IN AIR BATTLE
----
Four Brothers Are Still in U.S. Army Service; Another Killed in Accident
---------
A cable message was received yesterday announcing the death in battle of Edmund Anthony Parrott, son of Mrs. John Parrott of San Mateo and the late John Parrott, and grandson of the late Mrs. Abby Parrott. He had just been sent to the front after completing his flying school training in France. In his last letter to his mother, dated July 16th, he wrote teh following prophetic words from a chateau where he was billeted in France:

"From here we will probably be sent to the front in a few days, for which I will be thoroughly thankful, as it will mean the fulfillment of my desires, and the examination of my long and tedious training. I am writing this by the light of a candel out on the terrace of teh castle, from which there is a sheer drop of 160 feet of ivy-covered wall down to the level of the little old bower that nestles around its base. As I write there comes through the still night air the rumble and roar of the mighty guns at Chateau Thierry, more than 100 miles away. As I listen to the distant thunder I cannot help but think that it is the death knell of the German people in this war, and I am eager to get into the fight, that I may do my bit toward the final overthrow of the pernicious doctrine which has so upset the world."

Young Parrott has given his life, as he would have wished, doing his duty.

Edmund Anthony Parrott was born in California twenty-two years ago last June. When the war broke out he was a student at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale. He was a member of the first class at the aviation school at the University of California, and was graduated among the first ten at the top of the class. After training here he was sent first to Italy and subsequently to France, and after his long training experience was sent to the front with the American forces in charge of a bombing machine.

His brother John Parrott is now a Lieutenant attached to the staff of General Burr in France; his brother, William G. Parrott, also a Lieutenant, is attached to the Mather aviation field, near Sacramento; his brother, Joseph Parrott, is a member of the division at Camp Fremon, and his brother, Stephen Parrott, is a member of the reserve officers' training school at Harvard University.

It will be remembered that anoher brother, Francis, was instantly killed on the night of June 6, 1917, when his automobile crushed, head-on, into an auto truck near Burlingame. Francis was 19 years old.

Miss Josephine Parrott, who was for some time secretary to Mrs.John B. Casserly in Red Cross work, and later served under Herbert Hoover in the Food Administration at Washington, is now a yeomanette in the Navy, and is stationed in Washington. Another sister, Miss Barbara Parrott, last week decided to leave shortly for France to assist her aunt, the Countess de la Lande, in the management of a Red Cross hospital near the front. Miss Emilie Parrott and Mrs. Edward J. Tobin are sisters.

Notes: Data from his 2 passport applications. Lived in Switzerland 1907-1910 and England 1910-1914.

For his WWI draft card, he was a student in Cambridge, MA.

From Pete Froehlich <gmozias@gmail.com>
"He and F. Scott Fitzgerald knew each other at the Newman school in New Jersey. Fitzgerald inscribed a copy of his first novel to Stephan "to my brother." Yet their friendship is more or less dismissed by Fitzgerald's biographer as having to do only with a shared relationship to their mentor at the Newman School, Monsignor Sigourney Fay. "

Shane Leslie knew Fay, Fitzgerald, and Stephan, as well as another priest, William Hemmick, about this time (around 1910 or so). His letters with Hemmick mention Stephan from time to time through the 1950s; I believe Stephan might have worked with or for Hemmick for a time in Paris or Rome."

THANKS OF INSANE MAN.
Peyton Parrott Grateful for Being Declared a Lunatic.
Harviey R. Stout, justice of the peace, had a strange experience yesterday with Peyton Parrott, a supposed Lunatic.

Mrs. Parrott had sworn that her husband was a fit subject for treatment at the Insane hospital. Justice Stout was to have charge of the sanity commission. Parrott went to him to thank him.

"I know of my condition as well as you do," said Parrott. "I have felt this thing coming on me for a year or more, and I am grateful that you are going to have me treated."

Parrott appeared to be rational, though he said he was not always so and that he believed he needed treatment.

Parrott makes his living by sharpening knives and scissors and is known in every downtown office.

The Death of Berry Parrott's Grandfather

Mr. & Mrs. Parrott lived in Tazewell, Tennessee, during the Civil War days. Mrs. Parrott was expecting a baby. Her husband had joined the Union Army and he knew about what time the baby was expected. He asked the officers if he might get off and come home to see about his wife, as she was alone. They let him go home.

As he came near his home the Rebels met him. They shot and killed him. They took his body to his house, opened the door, and threw his body in, nearly on his wife.

This upset her so that she went into labor and she had her baby that very day. The baby was a boy and was the father of Berry Parrott.

Bought the O'Pelt hotel in 1903:

"The O'Pelt Hotel, a three story brick structure and modern, was owned and operated 43 years by the Parrott family. The O'Pelt was the Hotel of northwestern Kansas, because of its location and accomodations. Traveling men, who remained on their territories over the weekend stopped at the O'Pelt. During the winter of 1905 and 1906, when steam plow business was at the crest in Thomas and adjacent counties, the O'Pelt was headquarters for many steam plow equipment salesmen. Colby trains were mostly night trains and those arriving on them, without reservations, were fortunate not to sit up the remainder of the night and if they slept not to sleep in their chairs."

John Parrott is having a new well put down this week. He will put in a gasoline engine to pump water. He will also put in machinery for a steam laundry in the basement of his hotel-- Colby Free Press.

Mr. Parrott, the owner of the O'Pelt hotel at Colby was brought to Norton last night by Dr. Shifflett for osteopathic treatment and is now staying at the Bowers Tavern. His son Charles accompanied him.

The Norton Weekly Telegram, 21 Jan 1914, p 3

=======================================
We shall remember Colby, Kansas, because of the apparent blindness of the leading hotel-keeper to the possibilities of profitable business for his house. We have arrived at seven p.m. Central time - six p.m. Mountain time; the C.P. Railway operating Mountain time. We registered at the O'Pelt Hotel, which is listed to the hotel directory as American plan, $2.00 and $2.50. There were five us in the party. We asked what time the dining-room would close. The clerk said, "It is already closed. We only serve for one hour Sunday evening. You will have to the cafe two squares down to eat."

The hotel was a prententious exterior but the inside is badly run down and furniture in bad condition. Over the clerk's desk is a sign--

LODGING - $1.00
or
LODGING and BREAKFAST - $1.00

The room we occupied, two beds (two persons) was $1.50 for the two.

It would take only a little extra effort and a small amount of money to put the walls and ceilings in good shape; and he porter could fasten knobs to the combination bureau-washstand-dresser drawer, so that one could open the drawer. It would be a good thing for the town if the hotel accommodations were neat and tidy and inviting, rather than the opposite. It is no wonder that lunch-rooms and restaurants flourish on business that properly belongs to the hotel.

In these days, too, the leading hotel of a town the size of Colby usuaally has modern improvements. The O'Pelt gets along with the washbowl and pitcher, the kerosene lamp and tenpenny nails for clothes hooks.

In the restaurant where we took supper, the waiter said that many of his boss' patrons come from the imitation hotel and that his boss would soon have rooms.

Almost every meeting we hear of someone who has a complaint against the O'Pelt hotel in Colby. Of course Brother Parrot has the monopoly as it were on hotel accommodations, but even so, its a long lane that has no detour.

Colby hotel a U.S. 24 landmark
By Marj Brown, based on 'The Cooper Hotel' by Bill James and Vern Dimmit
Verbatim copy:

By 1910, J.L. Parrott had made many changes in the hotel which was known for its good service and good beds. A souvenir edition of the Colby Tribune published in 1910 had the following to say about the business:

"The O'Pelt made Colby famous in years gone by as a convention town. The hotel is the largest and best equipped in western Kansas. Never, however, has it been as generally popular with the traveling public as it has under the proprietorship of J.L. Parrott.

"Mr. Parrott purchased the hotel about seven years ago. Under his management, the building has been enlarged, porched and entirely remodeled.

"Both sample room and the dining facilities have been improved and enlarged. With 50 fine rooms, all neatly furnished, the hotel
is today easily the most popular $2.00 per day house in this part of the state."

Parrott used to sit in a rocking chair in the lobby, watching that everything and everyone was working as expected.

One of the favorite stories told of Parrott was about a traveling salesman who checked into the hotel one day and went straight to his room. He soon came back complaining to the desk clerk that he had registered for a room with a bath and that was what he wanted.

The desk clerk pointed to Mr. Parrott, who was seated in his usual rocking chair in the lobby. The salesman walked over to Parrott and said, "I asked for a room with a bath. Don't you have rooms with baths?" Parrott replied, "Yes we do." The salesman said, "Well, that's what I want." Parrot calmly replied, "But those
rooms don't have beds in them."

Just before Parrott died in 1927, he added a north wing to the hotel and completed a large amount of redecorating. One fire escape had been added to the west side of the building earlier. Before that time, all the rooms were equipped with a coil of rope securely attached to the heater or a bed. It was to be lowered out
of the window for escape in case of a fire. The Parrot family operated the hotel for more than 40 years and never had a serious fire.

In 1945, the hotel sold to Bazzil Turner, who kept it for less than a year. He sold it to Willard E. Cooper in 1946. < ...>

Notes: Eleven Hundred Dollars For Assailant of Colby Girls.

Senator Buschow of Colby appeared before Governor Stanley this morning and secured from the governor the proclamation for a reward of $300 for the arrest of the man who assaulted Cora Parrott of Colby, Kan., Wednesday night. The county commissioners of Thomas county have offered an additional reward of $800.

The girl is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.C. Parrott. She was at her home two miles from Colby alone for ashort time during the evening. She went into the back yard and there was seized by a masked man who threatened to stab her to death if she made an outcry. She was dragged across a fence to a hay stack a half mile from the house. She fought her assailant and bit a piece out of his arm and tore the mask from his face but could not recognize him. She was missed from home soon after by her brother, who returned from a neighbor's. He and the hired man commenced a search for her and found her in an almost unconscious condition near the haystack. Her clothes were in shreds, her limbs were cut and bleeding from being dragged over the fence, she was bruised and lacerated. She was so dazed she thought her brother was her assailant returned and she fought him desperately. The farmers of the surrounding county were at once organized into searching parties looking for Miss Parrott's assailant. Bloodhounds were used but fruitlessly.

STANLEY OFFERS REWARD.
$300 to be Paid for Arrest of Cora Parrott's Assailant.

From Saturday's Daily.

Governor Stanley yesterday offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of the unknown assailant of Cora Lee Parortt, living two miles northwest of Colby, in Thomas county.

The assault which was committed on Miss Parrott, occurred last Saturday night, and was one of the most brutal which has occurred in northwestern Kansas in years.

Miss Parrott is the pretty daughter of wealthy parents and is a general favorite among the young people of the neighborhood. Last Saturday afternoon her father went to town and stayed until 9:30 in the evening.

Upon his return to the farm he wwas met by his son, who told him that Cora had disappeared. A search was instituted in which all the neighbors joined. Shortly after 11 o'clock, two hours after she had disappeared, the gril was found in an unconscious condition lying by a straw stack about a mile from her home. Her clothes were torn to shreds and her head, arms and lower limbs were badly lacerated and bleeding. Her throat showed finger prints where here assailant had choked her into unconsciousness.

Miss Parrott became conscious in about an hour after she was found and told the story of how she had been grabbed from behind by an unknown masked man while she was in the back yard. Her assailant had dragged her through field to the straw stack where she was found. He had struck her on the head with a blunt instrument; she was unconscious before she reached the place where was afterwards found. She could give no accurate description of the fiend who assaulted here. She said that he wore a mask and had on two shirts and a pair of corduroy trousers.

Bloodhounds from Beatrice, Neb, which were put on trail of the man on Monday followed the track to within four miles of Atwood, in Rawlings county, and lost it.

The farmers of Thomas county are very indignant and if the assailant of Miss Parrott is found and his guilt proven it is believed that he will be lynched.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE
Some Villain Makes An Attempt to Abduct a Young Lady.

In regard to the attempted outrage upon Miss Cora Parrott, of Colby, we clip the following from the Free Press of that city of July 25th:

It has been years since the people of Colby and the country around have been in such a frenzy of excitement as they have been since last Saturday night and are at the present time. The cause for the excitement is the attempt on the part of some desperate villain to carry off Miss Cora Parrott, the 19-year-old daughter of Simpson Parrott, from her home two miles north of town.

On last Saturday night Mr. Parrott and his oldest son, Arch, were in town, and did not start home until about 9 o'clock. the family, consisting of Mrs. Parrott, the other two boys, a hired man, Cora the daughter and a girl friend, were at home, and at about 9:30 prepared to retire. It appears that the boys and the hired man slept in the small house in which the family lived before they built the present dwelling and which stands some 200 yards north of the new house. Mrs. Parrott had retired and the daughter stepped out of doors, with no thought of harm. She went out singing when some fellow who had secreted himself in the yard grabbed her by the throat and struck her a blow in the face, which no doubt dazed her considerably. He kept a firm grip upon her throat to her from making at outcry and all the time kept dragging her out in the field. He had not gone far until she partly recovered from the fright, and being very strong physically, she commenced to fight her assailant, scratching him and choking him with all her strength. The fellow, whoever he was, and whatever may have been his motive, realized that he had a brave resolute girl to deal with, and after trying unsuccessfully to persuade her to quit fighting, he beat, choked and bruised her in a brutal manner.

The mother noticed the daughter quit singing very suddently, and when she did not return to the house she became alarmed and called the boys from the other house, who immediately began to search the premises. About this time Mr. Parrott and Ach came in from town, one returning to give the alarm while the other joined the search. When the news reachd reached town a number of went out to assist in the search, but about the time they arrived at the farm Bob Parrott his sister about one quarter of a mile southwest of the house in a wheat field.

She was unable to give a very good description of the fellow, but thinks she left some marks upon his face and arms.

As soon as the girl had been found all efforts were put forth to capture the culprit.

Mr. Parrott came to town and wired Beatrice, Neb., for bloodhounds and hoped they would arrive on the flyer at 11:30 Sunday, but the dogs were too far out in the country however to reach that train and Mr. Parrott received word that they would be here on the midnight train. When the train arrived there were a goodly number ready to go out see the dogs start, while a greater number went to bed expeting that they would not be put on the trail until early morning. The dogs were taken out to Parrott's home and fed and about 2:30 were taken to the place where the struggle occurred. It only required a very few moments for them to scent the trail and took off north and west to the Colby-Atwood mail route and followed this trail to a point a few miles south of Atwood, where for a time it was lost. From what can be learned from those who started with the posse and for various reasons returned we learn that there appeared to be two of the outlaws and for a while at least they travelled by foot.

The posse is headed by the sheriff and consists of such resolute men as Sam Pratt, Lee Wisdom, L.S. Lovitt, Will Jones, Simpson Parrott, Robt. Parrott, Mike Ryan and others who will take chances when the desperadoes are brought to bay. It is supposed that the posse at this time (Tuesday) is close upon the trail.

Later-- It appears that the dogs followed the trail to a house a few miles southwest of Atwood where all trace of the culprit was lost. The man with the hounds became discouraged and took them to the train and from there back to Beatrice. When the news reached Colby that the chase had been given up every body was disappointed and many were the expressions of regreat heard. The hunt for the contemptible cur will not be given up, but the chances for his capture becomes less certain with the lapse of each hour.

Notes: PARROTT SCION SEVERELY BURNED S.M. HOME
------------
Condition at Hospital To Be Critical
Clothes Ignite While Smoking in Bed, According to S.M. Police

William G. Parrott, 59, millionaire president of the Parrott Estate corporation and a major stockholder in the Parrott Investment company, was near death at Peninsula hospital toda with third-degree burns of the body suffered when he accidentally se himself afire shortly before midnight at his home, 972 Palm avenue, San Mateo.

Parrott literally became a human torch, unable to free himself of the fire as he stood on a rubberized bath mat which, melting, adhered to his feet. Police and fire investigators said he inadvertantly ignited his pajamas while lighting a cigarette.

In Bed at Time
The socially prominent member of the pioneer Parrott family of San Mateo apparently became engulfed with flames as he lay in bed. Fire Inspector Cecil Morris and investigating officer John Pawson said it was believed a book of matches ignited in his hand and dropped onto his night attire.

Although reported crippled with arthritis, Parrott leaped out of bed, calling to his elderly house-keeper, Miss Mary Moran, for help. He ran to the bathroom, tearing off portions of his flaming pajamas.

There, investigators said, the burning material dropped onto the chenille rubber mat, igniting it, and flames sread to his limbs. Pawson reported that the melting rubber so adhered to Parrott's feet that a large portion of skin remained attached to it after it was pulled from the unconscious man's body.

Smothers Flames
Miss Moran said that she found Parrott engulfed in flames, frantically striving to beat them out and crying for help. She seized a large towel and smothered the flames as he collapsed unconscious to the floor.

Near hysteria, Miss Moran called the family physician, Dr. Jack E. Kahoun, of San Mateo. He was contacted by the Physicians' Exchange Telephone Servic and told police when called the home Miss Moran could only scream, "He's burned, he's burned!"

Rushing to the home, he said found Parrott lying on the bathroom floor, 75 per cent of his body covered with third-degree burns. An ambulance took him to Penisula hospital, where extensive surgery was required. Doctors, however, held little hope for his recovery.

Miss Moran, after calling the doctor, also summoned police, firemen, and Miss Barbara Parrott, a sister who lives at 1408 Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo.

Sister Near Collapse
At the hospital attendants said he regained consciousness later this morning, but was unable to give an account of the accident. His sister was reported on the verge of collapse at the hospital, where she remained through the night. Doctors said that the burns covered his torso almost in its entirety.

Investigators said that, despite severity of the fire, it did not damage the bedroom or immediately adjoining bathroom except for circles of charred spots. Officers said that Parrott apparently had been in the habit of having a great many book matches around, carrying them on his person. These were in evidence almost everywhere in the room. A cigarette thrown aside indicated it had just been lit and that Parrott had not had the opportunity for even one puff before being engulfed by flames, officers said.

Miss Moran said she last saw Parrott about 11:30 p.m. when he went to bed. She said she then wnt to the kitchen. Within a few minutes, she said, she heard Parrott cry out for help.

In Semiretirement
Parrott, socialite for many years, had been living in semiretirement here, it was reported.

The Parrott family, one of the original major landholders of the Peninsula, was founded by John Parrott Sr. who in 1850 bought the sprawling tract which is today much of the city's business district and exclusive Baywood tract.

Parrott is the eldest son of the John Parrotts II, and was married to Gertrude Hopkns. They were divorced in 1949 and she is now Mrs. William W. Crocker of Burlingame. His only child, Wiliam G. Parrott of Santa Monica, flew here from Los Angeles this morning and was at his father's bedside at the hospital. He was joined by three of the four sisters, Miss Parrott, Mrs. Josephine Burgess of San Francisco and Mrs. Edward Tobin of Baywood. A fourth sister, the eldest who lives across the street from Parrott at 971 Palm avenue and who is reported in failing health since the recent loss of her husband, has not been told of the accident. A brother, Stephen Parrott, is in Europe.

The family is related to the Christian de Guignes, the Charles Thlerriots, the de Tristans and Donohoe families. It traces its branches to the historic eras of San Francisco and San Mateo counties.

The Parrott Investment company, headed by Parrott, besides owning the multimillion dollar commercial secion on Fourth avenue, taking int he block including the Joseph Magnin and other exclusive stores, also holds extensive properties throughout the San Francisco commercial district, including the Emporium, and has ranch properties throughout the state.

Notes: Grocer Shot in Gun Battle With Robber

A 60-year-old store owner shot it out last night with a bandit. The holdup man fled as the wounded grocer fired at him in the dark, sheriff's deputies reported.

Peyton Parrott, who lives in the rear of his neighbrohood store at 7806 S Atlantic Ave., in the Cudahy district near Bell, was in serious condition last night at St. Francis Hospital, Lynwood. He had a bullet wound in the stomach.

Fires at Bandit
Deputies said Parrott's wife Irene was confronted by the holdup man, about 28, who first ordered beer and then pulled a gun on her. Mrs. Parrott called her husband, deputies said, and he stepped through the door to fire at the gunman with a 38-caliber pistol.

The man fired back, two bullets missing Parrott and the third striking him, deputies said.

Clutching his wound, Parrott hobbled to the door of the store and shot at the fleeing man, who disappeared on foot, deputies reported.

Nothing was taken.

Charles L. (Lipps) Parrott was born in Knox County, Kentucky, Dec. 31, 1873 to John R. and Martha Parrott.

He was married to Mary Basham, Jan. 17, 1895 and to this union was born nine children, five boys and four girls. Charles was born and lived his early life and young manhood on the farm, a lover of livestock and a capable tiller of the soil, though conditions for farming during this period were not the most desirable and a fair return for your investment and hard labor was difficult to achieve. He left the farm therefore in the early years of his middle age and became engaged in the lumber business for a number of years rather successfully.

However, worthwhile timber which had given years of inducement to those who had mastered the saws was fast disappearing from the middle west and the industry was too overcrowded for it to long remain in a profitable or tempting vocation.

Always alert to new developments, he was among to those [who] were early to recognize the straw business as an enterprise with tremendous possibilities accordingly he moved his family to Indianapolis in 1917 where he began bailing straw for the large paper mills of this area and also found a large market for it to be used in the construction of new highways.

The family has made its home here continuously since that time with the exception of one interval of five years when this business took him to Kouts, Indiana, where straw was more abundant and more fertile market for a time existed.

He lived a full and busy life but not a fast one. He accepted religion in his early years and was later baptized in the Baptist Church, his letter is recorded with the Hillcrest Baptist Church. He lived for his family, his relatives, his friends and his work. One seldom needed a doctor in his presence for his cheerful conversion left little room for aches or pains, and often made you wonder how one who had lived so long and who himself had ailed so severly could not only bury his own gloom and internal ailments, but could actually chide others into a more jolly mood until their condition was at least temporarily forgotten.

The first shadow which crossed his brow and stole some of the sunshine from his smile was the coming of the war and the snatching by it of so many members of the family into active service, finally taking his baby and ... The rest of the pages are missing.

GOOD CITY WATER
Chas. Parrott, our city clerk, sent in a sample of the water from the city supply to the Kansas State argicultural college and had it analyzed and in their reply to his letter they stated that it showed to be in excellent condition. The sample was sent in on the tenth of this month. There is probably not another town that has as good water as we have here and the reading of the test, which they sent back to Charley, bears up their statement as to the excellent condition of the water in our city mains.

"The W.T. Parrot Depotel Token From Colby, Kansas"
L . Donnald Koontz

(Listed in AVA Supplement for November, 1981, p . 148, and shown on page 142 of that issue; also listed in newest edition of the AVA catalog. This information is in response to a statement in that issue.) Webmaster's note: this token sold on Ebay on March 5, 2018, for $388.83.

The token is inscribed: "W.T. PARROTT / ROUND TRIP / 25 ¢ / COLBY, KANS . / BUS / AND / TRANSFER ." The reverse offers : "GOOD FOR / ONE / RIDE / FROM / HOTEL TO DEPOT" . By size of print the main emphasis seems
to have been on 'ONE RIDE' and on '25 ¢". Documented information about the token has not been found, but much information on the hotel owned by the Parrott family can be found and used to infer information about the token and its use.

Whether this depotel token was a part of the era of the animal-drawn omnibus or of the later, motorized truck and bus services, or of both, is not known for certain . However, the style of the token and the fabric of its material (aluminum) seem to belong to the first two decades of the 1900s more than to the second two. What is known about the service advertised and promoted by the token is mostly from reminiscences or by newspaper gleanings. From this material it is certain that the horse- or mule-drawn hack/dray was in use by 1904, though W. T. Parrott's association with the hotel began as early as 1902. It was in use in 'teens', though how late isn't sure. Also, by 1922 the animal-drawn vehicle was no longer found in photos and by 1926 was the subject of reminiscence of a style reserved for something long-gone. More information will need to be found to be more exact.

The Parrott hack had no top, but a 1907 competitor vehicle was
covered and much fancier. Unfortunately, no discernible sign is on the other vehicle to identify it. Probably, the competition would have provided a good reason for a special-rate token in that time period. Certainly, the wording of the token indicates that W. T. Parrott wasn't limiting his service to just his family's hotel or to one railroad, so he would have needed a 'gimmick' to meet the competition.

W. T. Parrott seemingly owned the transfer, firm, but his brother,
Charles V., did a lot of the driving of the dray/hack for meeting the trains and bringing the salesmen and their trunks to the hotel. Charley was W. T.'s older brother. A December 1, 1904, news short in the Colby Free Press says:

"Charley Parrott ran over a wheelbarrow with the 'bus one night last week while making a train. He was thrown off the seat and quite severely injured ."

Generally " 'bus" means "omnibus", fitting the idea of the removable benches that allowed the Parrott vehicle to be both transfer dray and hack. When carrying passengers the dray had side benches placed so passengers faced inward. Salesmen's sample trunks were often loaded into the hack along with the salesmen, but were also transferred separately.

In a photo of the hotel showing the mule-drawn dray out front,
Charley Parrott is driving the team. A large man in shirt-sleeves is
sure to be J. L. Parrott, but several other men have not yet been
identified. Date of the photo is about 1907. Charley's daughter,
Hilda, born in November, 1902, appears to be only about four years old in the photo, so that date seems correct. Hotel stationery in the museum's files uses the same picture shown above of the mule-drawn dray and has a date line ending "191...".

W. T. Parrott was born near Rose Hill, Virginia, in 1882, and died
in Colby, Kansas, in 1955. William Thomas Parrott was the second son of John Landon Parrott, who homesteaded in Thomas County, Kansas, in 1886. John L . Parrott moved his family to the O'Pelt Hotel in Colby in 1902, as the manager and operators of that business. J. L. Parrott and his wife Ozina (rhymed with Nine-a) had nine children W. T. was in charge
of the kitchen and dining room and of a later coffee shop. C.V.
(Charley) was at times the day-clerk, and at other times, the nightclerk. J. L. bought the hotel in 1904, and the family operated it until 1945. At that time W. T. - Bill, Sr ., as he was known around Colby - may already have been the proprietor of a clothes-cleaning establishment, and he later ran Bill's Recreation Parlor.

The O'Pelt Hotel was built in 1886-88. It was five blocks north of
a railroad which eventually became part of the Union Pacific. The
Oakley-Colby Railroad Company built a line from the Union Pacific, at Oakley, Kansas, to Colby in 1887. The hotel was also located just three blocks south of the Rock Island Railroad, which was completed to Colby in 1888, on its way from Kansas City to Denver. An ad on September 23, 1928, reminisces:

"The old horse-drawn bus tailed through the mud hub deep
between the hotel and Rook Island station through Carp
Lake............"

Microfiche at the Thomas County Historical Society Museum indicates that during the period from January 2, 1902, to December, 1904, traffic on the Rock Island Railroad increased overall. In a 1945 clipping from the files of the museum we learn that W. T. Parrott recalled hauling from forty to fifty trunks by bus from one depot in Colby to the other, daily. He also remembered turning the sample rooms over to the traveling salesmen to show their wares. The '1912' stationery also mentions the "Sample and Bath Rooms".

A porch filled two sides of the hotel, after J. L. added it in 1905, and it was reported to be a favorite of the traveling salesmen who
were a large part of the hotel's patrons. The ballroom, originally on the main floor with the lobby, was also known as the sample room, though later both were in the basement meeting rooms. The sample room was a major attraction for these salesmen. Hilda Parrott remembers the sample room contained rows of tables with salesmen's samples laid out for inspection by the local merchants. Her father, C. V., said, "They did a lot of business in that sample room .", when discussing it in later
years. A 1910 souvenir edition of the Colby Tribune said,

"Both sample room and the dining facilities have, been improved and enlarged. ...."

A 1922 photo showing a gasoline-powered truck in front of the hotel might indicate that the animal-powered vehicle was no longer around. A 1926 ad shows the hotel with gasoline-powered vehicles parked around it, and one of them is a black bus with a large luggage rack sticking out the back. An addition built on the north side of the hotel in 1926 stood where the original stables had held the matched pair of grey mules for the dray and other animals.

The O'Pelt Hotel, later the Cooper Hotel, burned in 1977. The
Union Pacific station has been torn down or moved elsewhere, though the trains still carry freight and grain. The Rock Island railroad is no longer running, and the station is boarded-up, but still there. A few of W. T. and C. V. Parrott's descendants are still in Colby, but they have no connections, to the local hotel and transportation businesses, anymore.

Two additional tokens were discovered in the estate of Jesse
Parrott, Charles V. Parrott's wife, who died in 1981 at the age of 100+. One is used, and it was found among miscellaneous coins and tokens the author was asked to sell in 1983 for Miss Hilda Parrott. The other token, almost as struck - certainly AU+, was discovered by Hilda among her mother's jewelry in 1985. The author is a cousin of Jesse and Hilda Parrott, and wishes to express appreciation to Hilda and to the Thomas County Historical Society Museum and staff for the information furnished
and the materials shared.

One of the two newly discovered tokens, the one obviously used
during the existence of W. T. Parrott's transfer business in the early 1900's, is for sale to the highest bidder in a mail-bid sale to close one month following publication of this information in the FARE BOX. The winning bidder will also receive a full-size copy of the 1907 picture of the hotel, showing the hack/dray in front of the porch. Bids will be received at:

Cecil Parrott, Death March survivor, dies.

He survived the infamous Bataan Death march, and endured savage beatings, bouts of dysentery and starvation as a Japanese POW in World War II.

But Cecil Waldo Parrott lost his final battle The Bellevue resident did not live to win reparations for himself and thousands of other POWs forced to work without compensation for Japanese companies. Parrott died Thursday at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Seattle. He was 83.

Though he endured 1,228 days in captivity, as one of 70,000 U.S. and Filipino soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese on April 9, 1942, Parrott maintained his faith in
family and refused to hate his captors.

He was a gentle man who "loved the Japanese people," said his son-in-law David Andress of North Bend. "He was very forgiving of the Japanese people, because he knew it wasn't the people (who caused the suffering), it was the military."

Born in Mount Vernon on July 20, 1920, Parrott spent his boyhood moving from town to town in Idaho as his carpenter father sought work during the Great Depression.

He met his future wife, Ruby, at a vocational school in Weiser, Idaho. They would marry in 1947, after the war ended.

Parrott enlisted in 1940, and spent more than a year stationed in the Philippines before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was a corporal in the U.S. Army Signal Corps when the Japanese captured the Bataan peninsula.

More than 10,000 soldiers would not survive the resulting Death March, victims of exhaustion, thirst, disease and horrific treatment by their captors.

"If you had a ring that was so tight on your finger, because your finger had swelled up some, they would cut your finger off. That's how cruel they were," Parrott told the
Journal in an interview in 2001.

"I saw men bayoneted for trying to get a drink. I decided that dying of thirst was preferable," he said.

He credits a cook from the Japanese army with helping him survive and enabling him to see the enemy as individuals. He and other stragglers were stopped by the cook, who shared what little he has --- some boiled rice, sweet tea and one mackerel, cut into five pieces. the tea, the only clean water he had during the march, probably saved his life, Parrot told the Journal.

Surviving the nearly 70-mile march was no guarantee of surviving the war. By late 1942, in Camp O'Donnell in Luzon, dysentery, beriberi and starvation had carved 68 pounds from his 165-pound frame. He was sent to "Zero Ward," a crawl space under the barracks where men were left to die.

Every morning, Parrott would wake up with yet another dead man next to him. "I noticed that the night before a guy died, he would talk about how abandoned he felt, how he was convinced no one cared, that his family had forgotten him," Parrott told the Journal in May 1995. "Not me. I would get home to my family."

Parrott simply refused to give up. He weighted 96 pounds when he was liberated from a Japanese work camp on August 19, 1945.

Parrott moved to Bellevue in 1955 and worked as an engineer for Boeing until the layoffs of the early 1970s, son-in-law Andress said. then he opened his own general contracting business before retiring a decade ago.

He was known for helping veterans and for putting in grabbars for seniors for a minimal charge, just to help out, Andress said. "He was a giving person," Andress said.

The war brought Parrott a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and other medals, but left him with nightmares and digestive problems throughout his life, Andress said.

He testified against some of the prison guards after the war, "but he was able to separate individual Japanese people," Andress said.

"We should never forget the sacrifices Americans have made in war," Parrott told the Journal in 1955." but we also should remember the point of it all: peace and brotherhood
among all peoples."

In 1999, Parrott joined a class-action lawsuit filed in California seeking damages against present-day Japanese corporations Mitsui and Mitsubishi, owners of the mining companies that used the labor of 20,000 POWs during the war. They have not been compensated to this day. "What's sad," Andress said, "is at the end he was very
upset" about that.

Parrott is survived by his wife of 56 years, Ruby of Bellevue; daughters Cheryl (and David) Andress of North Bend and Marcy (and Tom) Davis of Yakima; and five grandchildren. Services have not yet been scheduled.

Cecil married Ruby Dazey. Ruby was born on 24 May 1920 in Kansas and died on 29 Mar 2010 in North Bend, King Co., Washington, at age 89.

156. Joseph Franklin Parrott Jr. (Joseph Franklin "Frank" Sr.⁵, William Edward⁴, Evan S.³, John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 22 Jul 1916 in Hagerman, Gooding Co., Idaho and died on 4 Jul 2005 in Boise, Ada Co., Idaho, at age 88.

Notes: Joseph F. Parrott; Our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend, Joseph F. Parrott, 88, of King Hill, Idaho, went to live for eternity with his Heavenly Father on July 4, 2005, surrounded by his caring family.

Joe began life in a small white house on the Brailsford Ranch outside of Hagerman, Idaho, in 1916. He rode to school in the covered wagon school bus with a camp stove in the winter to keep warm. On nice days, the boys could chase skunks on the way to school so they would be "scent" home. In 1929, after his father's death, Joe quit school and went to work to help the family, first milking 25 cows, then at age 16, he rounded up Mustangs on the Bruneau Desert. In 1936 Joe went to the Bray ranch, met and
married Blanche Bray.

Joe worked for the CCC and the shipyard in Seattle. After Blanche's death, Joe returned to Idaho to do what he loved most, work with the cows and horses. Joe brought his new wife, Una, with him. Joe wanted to give his family more, so he packed up and moved to Colorado then on the (to) San Antonio, Texas, where he worked in construction for 11 years. After the four children married, he returned to his beloved mountains and cows.

His grandchildren spent many summers learning the lifestyle of a "true cowboy". Long hours, hot days, miles of wilderness, but with the love of their grandpa. Joe's motto, "IF you do a job, do it the best you can." The wake up call was always "Daylight in the swamp," even though the sun was not up! So with groans, but few complaints, they would eat their sourdough hot cakes, eggs, bacon and get their horses ready and head out before sunrise.

Joe's motto, "You can never catch a Parrott in bed when the sun is up." Joe married Helen Hoagland after the death of Una. Helen and Joe had four wonderful years together.

Joe is survived by his wife, Helen Parrott, brother, James and Mani Parrott, Las Vegas, Nev.; two sisters, Lucille Gilmore, Anchorage, Alaska, and Dorla and Ray Leach, San Antonio, Texas; son, Ted and Elana Parrott, Emmett, Idaho; two daughters, Elora and Wayne Harmon, San Antonio, Texas, and Leslie Parrott, Boise, Idaho; daughter-in-law, Margo Parrott, Meridian, Idaho. 12 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and many other children that spent summers and weekends, who were loved like his own.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Florence Parrott, his wife, Blanche Bray Parrott, wife, Una Palmer Parrott; son, Richard James Parrott and two grandsons.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 9, 2005, at Demaray's Gooding Chapel. Services will be officiated by Bob "Digger" Davis. Graveside service will follow at the Hagerman Cemetery. For those who desire, contributions may be sent to the Idaho Youth Ranch.

Frank Parrott, 41 years old, 521 West Morris street, died yesterday in his home of a lung ailment aggravated by injuries suffered April 22 in an automobile accident near Oaklandon.

Notes: Margie (Parrott) Hart was born on October 25, 1922, in Indianapolis. She passed away on Friday, October 19, 2012, at the age of 89.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Harold C. Hart; son, Harold Steven Hart; and great great granddaughter, Sofia.

Margie is survived by three generations of family including daughter Betty H. Wilson; grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, and many loving nieces and nephews.

Margie worked at Kroger for 28 years where she served as shop steward for United Food and Commercial Workers; however, she considered taking care of her family her life's work. Known later in life as "Grammy," Margie once commented, "I love my family and know I am loved, not because my family tells me but because they show me every day."

In addition to her love of family, Margie was dedicated to her community. She volunteered at IPS Schools #18 and #83, for the Indiana AIDS Fund, and through a 30-year membership in the Delta Sigma Kappa service sorority (Tau chapter). She was raised to be politically active, and worked on the campaigns for Senator Birch Bayh and Democrat gubernatorial candidate W. Wayne Townsend. Margie believed in exercising her civic duty and proudly voted in every election. She also was a lifelong advocate for organized labor.

Margie lived life to the fullest, teaching her family "you choose your moods." As a result, she was rarely in a bad mood and always up for a new adventure. Margie's many hobbies included fishing, bowling, crochet, reading, crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble. She enjoyed sports and was a season ticket holder for the Indiana Fever. She also was known for her cooking, especially her homemade biscuits and gravy. One of Margie's greatest joys was traveling with her daughter and extended family. She traveled across the United States and visited more than a dozen countries in her lifetime, including a birthday trip to Amsterdam immediately preceding her death.

She will be cremated and her ashes will be buried together with the family members who preceded her in death; a fitting resting place for the woman who felt her job was to take care of those around her.

215. Keith Adrian Parrott (Elmer Adrian⁶, John Henry⁵, William Edward⁴, Evan S.³, John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 11 Apr 1946 in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai Co., Idaho and died on 12 Feb 2012 in Corvalis, Benton Co., Oregon, at age 65.

Notes: Keith A. Parrott, Emeritus Professor, Oregon State University College of Pharmacy, died Feb. 12, 2012, at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. He was 65.

The second child of Grace and Elmer Parrott, Keith was born in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where he attended elementary and high school. Following graduation, he enrolled at Pacific Lutheran University, where he and Wanda met as freshmen; they married three years later.

Keith studied engineering at Pacific Lutheran, but soon discovered that engineering was not for him and transferred to Idaho State University, where he entered the College of Pharmacy and graduated with honors in 1970.

Months before Keith was to graduate, the first lottery drawings for armed service in Vietnam were held, and when his birthdate was selected 14th for the draft, Keith began the process of finding a service in which to enlist. He applied for and was accepted as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Public Health Service, where he served as a pharmacist.

Keith was first stationed at the Brighton Women's and Children's Hospital in Boston, where he received additional training at the National Institutes of Health, the University of Kentucky, and Massachusetts General Hospital before completing a hospital residency. From there, he and Wanda moved to Keams Canyon, Ariz., where Keith had been assigned to the Indian Public Health Hospital. There, he was deputy chief of the pharmacy department in the Indian Health Service Hospital.

When his tour of duty ended, they moved to Lexington, Ky., where Keith had been accepted into the pharmacy residency program (newly established by Paul Parker) at the University of Kentucky, where he attended graduate school on the GI Bill and graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 1976.

While Keith and Wanda were in Kentucky, their first two children were born: Jeffrey in 1974, and Shannon in 1976. The family moved to Oregon in 1976, and Kimberly was born two years later.

Keith joined the OSU College of Pharmacy faculty (then the School of Pharmacy) in 1976, and spent his professional career there until health issues forced his early retirement in 2004. At the time he retired, Keith was assistant dean for Student Affairs.

Colleagues and students remember him as a patient, kind and thoughtful man who was a strong advocate for both his students and the pharmacy profession. He especially enjoyed working with students, and was always delighted when they visited, or when he saw them working at various pharmacies throughout the country.

Despite declining health and early retirement due to his spinocerebellar ataxia, Keith never considered himself disabled. He joined Fitness over 50, where he worked out three times a week; he liked the exercise, and enjoyed visiting with other members, but especially loved working with his wonderful trainers.

Keith was indomitable. He continued to travel, socialized with his many friends, and planted and worked in his yard. In 2010, several of his friends designed and built a raised gardening bed which allowed him to tend a garden as well.

But most of all, he loved to fly fish. Freezing temperatures or pouring rain \emdash it didn't matter; he was oblivious to the weather. A retirement gift from his colleagues of a fishing trip to California delighted him, as did the trip he and Wanda took to Alaska, where they fished opening day on the Kenai River.

Whether on the waters of Roaring Springs, the many lakes in Central Oregon, the Deschutes, the McKenzie or Fall River, where friends tied him and his wheelchair to a tree so he could fish from the steep bank \emdash he was always happiest when he had a fly rod in hand.

Keith and Wanda celebrated their 44th anniversary last year. They traveled extensively in the United States and Europe, learned to ballroom dance, canoed, camped, fished, spent time at Sunriver, and enjoyed their life together, especially loving to spend time with their family and many friends.

Keith is survived by his wife and their three children. He loved talking about his children and their spouses, and their many accomplishments. His children, a great source of pride and joy in his life, are Jeffrey Parrott of Copenhagen, Denmark, and his wife, Klara Hobza, of Berlin, Germany; Shannon Parrott of Honolulu, Hawaii; and Kim Parrott Rivera and her husband, Hector, of Miami, Fla.

Keith was able to attend Kim and Hector's wedding in Miami just a month before he died. He joyfully celebrated with friends and family and, despite being in a wheelchair, "danced" with everyone around him, a beaming father of the bride.

Keith is also survived by a sister, Karen Soderling (Tom); brothers-in-law Rick Otta (Anne) and Eldon Otta (Debbi); sister-in-law Peggy Phelps (Larry); as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Keith was a kind and loving man who lived his life to the fullest despite his declining health and the limitations it imposed. He is greatly mourned by all those left behind.

Keith's family hopes the tissue donations made following his death will help increase the knowledge of spinocerebellar ataxia, the rare and debilitating disorder that Keith dealt with courageously and without complaint from the time he was diagnosed in his early 40s until his death. Those who wish to make a donation for ataxia research in Keith's memory can send their donations directed to Albany Research Institute, Inc., 113 Holland Ave., Albany, N.Y. 12208.

Some may wish to make donations in memory of Keith to Grace Center for Adult Day Services in Corvallis, where Keith was one of the original board members and served as a board member for 23 years.

A celebration of Keith's life will be held at a later date.

216. Theodore Joseph Parrott Sr. (Joseph Franklin Jr.⁶, Joseph Franklin "Frank" Sr.⁵, William Edward⁴, Evan S.³, John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 4 Sep 1942 in Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington and died on 20 Jul 2019 in Emmett, Gem Co., Idaho, at age 76.

217. Richard James Parrott (Joseph Franklin Jr.⁶, Joseph Franklin "Frank" Sr.⁵, William Edward⁴, Evan S.³, John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 18 May 1946 in Wendell, Gooding Co., Idaho and died on 19 Jan 2005 in Boise, Ada Co., Idaho, at age 58.

Notes: MERIDIAN -- Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, son and friend, went to rest for eternity in the loving arms of his Heavenly Father at the earthly age of 58 on Jan. 19, 2005, at his job site in Boise, Idaho.

The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23, 2005, at the Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel, 5400 Fairview Ave., Boise. Cremation will follow the service.
Richard was born in Wendell, Idaho, on May 18, 1946, to Joseph Franklin and Una Mary Parrott. For 11 years, he lived the life of a cowboy in the hills of Idaho. He never forgot and he continued to love and live by the ethics of the "Cowboy Way." He rode trailing cows from the young age of 2 - still in diapers. His family moved to Colorado when his father was made construction superintendent of the U. S. Air Force Academy. They continued to travel until settling in San Antonio, Texas. He graduated from East Central High School and he completed one year of college at San Antonio Community College. Richard also completed a four year apprenticeship in carpentry to become a journeyman carpenter. He was a master finish carpenter and a perfectionist who worked in his given trade until his death.

He met his wife, Margo, a "Texas girl," at the age of 16 and they were married on March 14, 1965. He could never get Idaho out of his system and he moved his family back in 1977. While in Idaho, they were blessed with two "Idaho" children to compliment their two "Texas" children.

Some of his most enjoyable times were when he and his brother, Ted, were in the roping arena, roping calves at the many brandings they attended. He seldom missed and his wife, "a city girl," was in awe of his roping and riding abilities.

Richard could also repair anything, including his children's vehicles, the ice maker, the garbage disposal, etc. His family depended greatly on him. He loved his family more than human words can describe.

He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He taught his children respect for guns and for other people's property. His greatest achievement was when he killed a bull elk the first time he went bow hunting. As he got older he enjoyed going with the boys, and got more pleasure out of taking pictures, hunting arrowheads and other Native American artifacts.

Richard's faith in God and love of his Heavenly Father permeated into all areas of his life. He held many priesthood offices and at his death was an apostle in the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He is survived by his wife, Margo of Meridian; son and daughter-in-law, Jon and Gina of Kuna; daughter and fiance', Toni of Meridian and Scott Yates of Harmon, Ga.; son and daughter-in-law, Matthew and Charlene (Charlie) of Meridian; and daughter, Bethany (Bethy) Parrott of Meridian; his father, Joseph Franklin Parrott Jr. and his wife, Helen of King Hill, Idaho; his sisters, Elora (Wayne) Harmon of San Antonio, Texas, and Leslie Parrott of Boise; a brother, Ted (Elana) Parrott of Emmett; his granddaughters, Devry and Alex Parrott of Kuna and Bentley Parrott of Meridian; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his infant son, Paul Joseph, and his mother, Una Mary Parrott.

Glenn married Margaret Blair. Margaret was born on 25 Feb 1919 and died on 25 Sep 2018, at age 99.

Notes: Stayton - Margaret Ruth Blair Parrott was born on February 25, 1919 in Kearney County, Nebraska. She was the sixth child and fifth girl born to Vern and Myrtle Blair. She grew up on a farm knowing hard work including milking cows by hand, carrying water from the well, and riding on a horse several miles to school, sometimes through snow drifts. Her stories of the farm include hiding in the cellar from a tornado, and catching catfish flopping in the corn fields during irrigation season. Her family lost their third generation farm during the depression, and as a young woman she moved with her family to Ontario, Oregon where she met Glenn Parrott, they married on June 18, 1936 in Emmett, Idaho. The couple moved to Portland in 1939 and knew great hardships, but she helped Glenn through two years of Chiropractic School by working at various jobs. When the Pearl Harbor attack occurred, Glenn joined the Navy Marines, and was sent to the Pacific conflict where he served as a medic, separating them for more than two years at a time. Margaret worked throughout the war moving back to Ontario, where she worked as a Chiropractic assistant, going through great financial difficulty as well as managing her parents little acreage while they worked in the shipyards in Bremerton, Washington. When the couple reunited after the war, they went back to Portland and Glenn finished his education and they worked together in his first office in Molalla, Oregon. They had two children within this time, Carol Lynde and Kip, but the family later moved to Oregon City where they spent the majority of their years. Margaret assisted her husband in his office, but later as the children got older, she began working for the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and was deputized, but most of her duties were in the records department. She and Glenn were active in public service. Glenn became a city leader in Oregon City and eventually mayor, and both he and Margaret helped start a sister city relationship between Oregon City and Tateshina Japan, one of the longest lasting sister city relationships in the United States. Both traveled to Japan several times on city business. Both Margaret and Glenn were active in the Chiropractic Association where Margaret was elected a leader of the Ladies Auxiliary, while Glenn wrote for their magazine and both fought politically for the association, meeting with both Governor McCall and Governor Hatfield at various times. Margaret wrote Governor Hatfield for help with a problem in Ontario concerning her parents small farm, and that letter and pictures of the abuses done by a large company, helped save her parents farm. They attended the Willamette Christian Church in West Linn helping to start the church in the Willamette fire hall. Later a church building was constructed, and Margaret taught Sunday School and led various Daily Vacation Bible Schools throughout her life. She led the church choir, and worked in ladies groups and Bible study groups. She helped manage various potlucks and fellowship dinners and was famous for her jello mold salads. She has been a resident at the Brookdale Retirement Home, formally called Lakeside in Stayton Oregon for over 15 years. Bedbound, she told her family, "When I see Jesus, I will not walk to him, I am going to run." Margaret passed away at age 99 on September 25, 2018. She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn in 1999. Margaret is survived by her brother, Ben Blair of Molalla, Oregon; two children, Kip Parrott of Palm Desert, California and Carol Fleenor of Turner, Oregon in addition to four grandchildren, Rebekah McBeth of Turner, Oregon, Peter Fleenor of Redmond Oregon, Deborah Handman of Creswell, Oregon and Matthew Fleenor of Eugene, Oregon in addition to nine great grandchildren. Margaret will be privately laid to rest with her husband at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon. Please leave online condolences at weddle-funeral.com

John Blackburn Parrott (1931 - 2006)

our Lord on Feb. 8, 2006.
John was born in Kentucky on Jan. 5, 1931, to Arch and Fannie Parrott as the youngest of 12 children. John was a beloved husband, dad and "Papa" to his grandchildren. To know John was to love John.

John proudly served in the Army during the Korean War. On leave, when visiting family in Camarillo, John found the love of his life in a girl named Cherry Horton, a lifelong resident of Camarillo. John and Cherry married in 1952 and settled down in Camarillo, where they happily raised their four boys. If you are a longtime resident of Camarillo, you were probably touched in some way by John. He may have encouraged you or your son in his 25 years as a Little League coach, shook your hand and greeted you with a smile at church, cheered alongside you at a Camarillo High School sports event, or exchanged stories and life lessons with you as he cut your hair at his barber shop on Ventura Boulevard over the past 52 years.

John's greatest joys in life were spending time with his children and grandchildren. He taught his family that happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have, and that the greatest gift you can give someone is the gift of your time. If you knew John, you knew what it was life to be accepted for who you are, to be truly listened to, cared about, and what it felt like to be deeply loved. John will be remembered best with his family around him as he held up his hand with the I love you sign.

He is survived by his wife, Cherry; sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Heidi, Steve and Kathryn, Pat and Debbie, and Mitch and Susan; grandchildren, Ryan, Randi, Kourey, John, Nicholas and Emma; and sister, Evelyn McCain.
A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 13, at Camarillo Church of Christ, 515 Temple Ave., Camarillo. A graveside service will follow at Conejo Mountain Memorial Park, 2052 Howard Road, Camarillo, and then a gathering back at the church.

269. Floyd Irwin Parrott Jr. (Floyd I. Sr.⁷, Charles William Jr.⁶, Charles William Sr.⁵, Walker C.⁴, Ensley³, John Jr.², John Sr.¹) was born on 26 May 1939 in Ontario, Malheur Co., Oregon and died on 4 Sep 2016 in Fossil, Wheeler Co., Oregon, at age 77.

Notes: Floyd Irwin Parrott Jr., 77, died of natural causes Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016, at home in Fossil, Oregon. Memorial Services are pending.

An Oregon native, he was born May 26, 1939 in Ontario, Oregon to Floyd (Sr.) and Doris Blair Parrott. He graduated from Ontario High School in 1957 and attended Portland State College where he studied business and accounting. He left Portland State to work for Mulino Sash and Door as an accounting/credit manager, but his real aim was to be in business for himself.

He undertook certification in two trade areas, small engine repair and lock-smithing, and soon opened Rolling Wheel Lawn and Garden Center in Mulino. Later, he would own a motel in La Grande, Oregon and later still, Perky Parrotts' Mini Mart and Restaurant in Turner, Oregon. In recent years, he and his wife Sheryl had moved into real estate, managing properties and purchasing and renovating houses, including a home in Ione.

A determined problem solver, Floyd taught himself how to do whatever needed doing. That trait marked his entire adult life; anything that needed fixing occupied his mind until he learned how to repair it.

He carried that same ability into three stints in public service. Having volunteered with the fire department and ambulance service in Mulino, he went on to serve as City Administrator in Union, Oregon and Depoe Bay, and as Mayor of Lonerock, Oregon.

Beside work and volunteer activities, he loved reading, piano playing and woodworking.

Survivors include his wife, Sheryl Bidney Parrott, whom he married December 4, 1965 at the Grace Lutheran Church in Molalla; his mother, Doris Parrott; a brother, Rod Parrott, both of Hood River; a son, Troy of Enterprise; and a daughter, Kristine of Salem; three grandchildren, Cassandra Jones, Brittany Medina and Emily Parrott; and three great-grandchildren, Keagan Jones, Lily Hochstetler and Erik Hochstetler, Jr.

He was preceded in death by his father, Floyd I. Parrott St.; and grandson, Erik Hochstetler, Sr.
