The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 19, 1901 Bernerd Parrish Dead. Sunday the sad news was telegraphed here from Topeka announcing the death of Bernerd PARRISH. Bernerd was employed there in the Santa Fe shops and had been for some time. Although a large boy of his age and bearing a healthly look, he was in poor health for about five years, having trouble with his heart, and he died of heart failure in the Santa Fe hospital. A private letter from one of the shop men to Mr. Parrish told of the death. It stated thay Bernerd had the best of care and everything was done for him that medical science and good nursing could do. He was confined to his bed since the 23rd of last month and on Sunday after eating a hearty dinner he suddenly died without any suffering. His body was brought here for burial Tuesday and funeral was held from the home, conducted by Rev. HAGEMAN. A large number of sympathetic friends of the Parrish family attended the funeral. Among the number was most of Bernerd's class in school and they brought flowers and made a fine floral display. ------------ Obituary. Bernerd PARRISH was the oldest child of H.T.
