Parker Family, How lucky you were to have a living part of history to learn from. We in Spencer, Wisconsin had Merle Pickett,109 to glean from and even her history lives on in our museum.

"...For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be;...." ( Isaiah 65:22 ) What a wonderful promise to out live trees!

At Psalms 139:14 King Solomon wrote “We should give God praise, because in a fear-inspiring way,
we are wonderfully made”.
Our Condolence to the Family

RIP Edna. You will remain with us in spirit.
