Salem (IN) Democrat, June 26, 1889, p. 3. ANOTHER PIONEER FALLEN Mrs. Ruth Parr was born in Orange County, North Carolina, May 16, 1799, and died at the home of her son, Enoch Parr, in Washington County, Indiana, June 17, 1889, making her age 90 years, 1 month and one day. She was the daughter of Samuel and Mary Lindley, with whom she came to Indiana Territory in 1811 and located in the Friend's neighborhood between Salem and Canton in Washington County. At this time, Salem was growing in the dense forest and Canton was not conceived, over which the wild animals were roaming and the red man held partial dominion. She saw the dense wood felled by the woodman's ax, the wild beasts and the Indians give way to our present civilization. These places whereon stood the mighty oak and poplar were made to wave with golden grain and to "smile and blossom as the rose." She was married to Joseph Nixon in 1814; from this marriage there were seven children. In 1828, Joseph Nixon died leaving her with these seven children to care for and support, the oldest 12 years and the youngest one 2 years. January 31, 1833, she was married to Enoch Parr. He was a widower, having seven children, youngest 3 and oldest 20 years, thus making a family of 14 children. From this marriage there were born to them seven children making for the mother fourteen children and seven step children. All of these children lived to man and womanhood and are located in six states of the union, all of whom are intelligent and law abiding citizens. She was reared by her parents in the doctrine of the Friend's Church and adhered to that belief until she was 40 years of age, and from whose people she never severed her love, notwithstanding she and her husband became members of the Christian Church. Her husband, Enoch Parr, often read the Bible aloud in his family and commented upon the same. Elders John and Jacob Wright, Littell and Aaron Hubbard, were active, able and influential preachers, and through their preaching she and her husband united with the Christian Church in 1845, in which she lived in full fellowship and harmony until her death. Her home was called "the home of the preachers," and she was denominated "the preacher's mother." He husband was a member of the Baptist Church prior to this membership in the Christian Church, and July 24th, 1851, he died in the triumphs of the Christian faith. Eight of her ten daughters united with the Christian Church and two with the Methodist Church. Of the four sons, two died in early manhood and the other two became members of the Christian Church, Enoch W. being a minister. Three of her stepchildren went into the Mexican War, two of whom died, and the other arrived home; one is a member of the Baptist Church, the others are members of the Christian Church. She had at her death about 200 heirs of her body consisting of children, grand, great grand and great great grandchildren. The last five years of her life she has been a bed-invalid at her son Enoch's; during this time she was patient, kind, full of faith and hope. On her 90th birthday, many of her old friends gathered at Enoch Parr's to greet her as one full of eventful years and as one who had fought a good fight. Her remains were followed by a large concourse of people to the Friend's Church on Wednesday, May 19, where the funeral services were conducted by S. H. Mitchell and Rev. Samuel Trueblood, thence the remains were interred in the Franklin graveyard. "Blessed are they who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors and their works henceforth do follow them." "Faith, hope and love answer, there is rest in Heaven." M.

Salem (IN) Democrat, June 26, 1889, p. 3. James A. Clippinger, a brother of Rev. Clippinger of Salem, died in California Monday morning, and his remains will be brought to Evansville, his former home, for interment. Mr. Clippinger was a young man only 27 years of age, a graduate of DePauw University and a lawyer by profession. Until about a year ago he had enjoyed excellent health, but at that time he had a severe attack of pneumonia from which he never recovered, falling at last a victim of consumption. He was an upright man and devout Christian, in the knowledge of which his friends find their solace and consolation.

Salem (IN) Democrat, June 26, 1889, p. 3. What might have proven a very serious accident occurred at Dr. Lanning's new building at the corner of South Main Street and the public square Monday afternoon. The building had advanced above the second story and brick layers were building the wall adjoining Mr. McIntosh's building occupied by F. L. Prow's general store on the east. The wall of the McIntosh building was weak and by no means perpendicular, yet an attempt was made to attach the new wall to it. When bricks were removed from the old wall, (three for four illegible words) inserting others which should join the two walls, the old wall gave way. Two or three workmen were on the new wall when it was observed that the walls were giving way. Ambrose Shrum ran along the north wall and escaped, letting himself down by a rope an instant later. Riley Shrum, a boy about 16 years of age, was near the center of the new wall and fell with it a distance of perhaps 25 feet. He first fell between the joists of the second floor and then between those of the ground floor alighting on a pile of rubbish in the cellar. The joists of the second floor gave way and fell after the unfortunate boy but were partially arrested by the joists below. Strange to say, he was not seriously bruised and so far as could be discovered, received no further injuries than a severe shock. When it is known that the old wall was three stories high and that a chimney stood above that, the great danger in falling under it is apparent, and the young man's escape from fatal injuries is remarkable. The walls of the McIntosh building were bad before, and the jar shook them still more, and extensive repairs to them will be necessary as well as to the walls of the Lanning building. Too much care cannot be taken in the erection of brick buildings and in all large cities when a wall becomes dangerous, it is condemned by the authorities and torn down, but even then accidents often occur in building new walls.

Grimes, a well known and well-to-do farmer of Greenfield Township, this county, met with an accident that will more than likely prove fatal. A limb from a burning tree fell, striking him on the head and knocking him upon a burning log heap where he lay until he was restored to consciousness by the intense pain resulting from his burns, when he managed to drag himself from the fire and succeeded in tearing from his person his burning clothing and again became unconscious and remained so until found by some members of his family who happened to be passing. His injuries are of so serious a nature that but little, if any, hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mrs. Grimes is a good man and citizen and has the sympathy of our entire community

DOG USES PIANO TO GIVE ALARM Paoli, Indiana, February 15-A dog with almost human intelligence averted what might have been a disastrous fire at the home of John R. Patton on North Gospel Street, Wednesday night. The family had retired for the night and left the dog in a room where a kerosene lamp was turned low and left burning. The household was awakened several hours later by discordant notes from the piano, and on entering the room in which the dog was confined, it was found to be in flames. The dog, aware of the impending danger, had walked back and forth over the keys of the piano or stood on his hind legs and pounded the keys with his fore paws. The fire was extinguished with slight loss.
