Monticello Journal. Grandma Parcels was 85 years of age yesterday and a lot of her old time neighbors and friends gathered in for a few pleasant hours with her. They took some eatables and spread a fine dinner for all and left her a lot of little remembrances of the occasion. Mrs. Parcels is the last of the eider McClouds, a family of eight children. They came from Marion county, Ohio, settling first in Indiana Creek township, Pulaski county. She and her husband came to this country in 1855, settling first in Pike Creek, where they lived until September, when they moved onto the lot a-here Mrs. Parcels now lives. She has two sons, Phil, of this city and EM Parcels, of Rensselaer,, still living.
