She has been failing for months and her death came from the infirmaries of old age. The funeral will be held from the home of her son, Philip Parcels, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Grandmother Parcels was among the oldest residents of the city, having lived for 56 years in the little house where she died. — Monday’s Monticello Journal.
