They lived in New Mexico for 11 years when she died and is buried in NM. Thomas' was called Tom also, but his name was J. T. Parsons. Kate was called Katie also, but her name was Sarah Katherine Hobbs Parsons. Can some one please tell me or help me with information on them and their Grocery Store? They were both Catholic and had no children!!! Thank You! M. Sootoo ann10927@juno.com
