Russell Parker Dies Saturday in Spokane after Short Illness

Russell Barrett Parker, a resident of Boundary county for more than __ years, died Saturday afternoon in a Spokane hospital after a short illness. He was 58 years old at the time of his death.
Mr. Parker was born March 29, ---- at Pateros, Wash., where he received his formal education. He also attended business college in Seattle. -- November 28, 1916 he was married to Cora Mickelson at Wilson ----, Wash. where he farmed. In ---- the family moved to this county to farm.

Survivors include his wife, Cora, -- home; a son Dwain of Tenino, Wash; a daughter, Mrs. Dorothy ----- of San Mateo, Calif; two sisters, Mrs. Mertie Silverthorn of ----, and Miss Dorothy Parker of Los Angeles, and four grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Wednesday from Hillcrest Memorial Chapel at 2 p.m. with the Rev. Wal--- Johnson of Sandpoint officiating.
Interment was in the Grandview Cemetery.

This obit was on page 1, col 1 and in the fold of the newspaper, so that is why there are blanks. You might try calling Hillcrest Funeral Home in Sandpoint, to see if they have more information. They are online at hillcrestgardenscemetery.com

Also found the following in the Cemetery Book for Grandview:
Parker, Infant NO DATA
Parker, B. age 96.....June 6, 1931
Parker, Cora M. 1894..Jan 3, 1979 s/s Russell
Parker, F. D. NO DATA
Parker, Russell Barret March 29, 1891..Aug. 1, 1959 s/S Cora

Then in an addendum of the Cemetery Book:

Parker, Allen 1908-1908 Parker Fam
Parker, Betty Ann J. 1865-1949 Parker Fam
Parker, John LaFayette 1889-1928 Parker Fam
Parker, Infant Girl 1932 1932 Parker Fam
Parker, Lucile 1912 Parker Ranch
Parker, Walter James 1892-1952 Parker Fam
Parker, William Allen 1888-1968 Paradise
Parker William Cyrus 1869-1948 Parker Fam

Unfortunately I know nothing about the Parker Family Ranch, but again, you might want to check with the funeral home in Bonners Ferry, if you know these people actually died here. They have a web site, http://www.bonnersferryfuneralhome.com/ and if you call them, they may be able to help you with more records. I have gone in there a couple of times, and they were in the process of trying to put a lot on the computer, and may have done that now. It has beena couple of years since I was there.
Hope this helps you somewhat.
