DEATH OF HUGH PARKHURST 
KNOWN CITIZEN OF WEST 
GLOUCESTER VICTIM OF 
PNEUMONIA. 
Hugh Parkhurst, a well-known citi- 
zen of Gloucester, died at his home 
at Edgewood, Saturday last, at the 
age of 52 years and 6 months. He 
had been ill but three days with pneu- 
monia and his death came as a great 
shock to his many friends, most of 
whom were not aware that he was 
even seriously ill. 
The deceased was a_ native of 
Gloucester, and was the eldest son of 
Hugh and Eliza (Parsons) Park- 
hurst. His father died in 1874, and 
his mother a few years later married 
Leander McFarland and removed to 
South Bristol, Me., where she still 
resides. ' 
Mr. Parkhurst has been employed 
for the past 23 years in the furniture 
store of A. Manton Pattillo, and has 
built up a wide circle of friends by 
his uniform courtesy and willingness. 
In 1892, the deceased married 
Clementine, the eldest daughter of 
Capt. and Mrs. Samuel G. Poole, and 
he leaves besides his widow, three 
children, Helen Marr, Mildred Gard- 
ner and Hugh, Jr. He also leaves a 
brother, Leander, of Beverly, and 
four sisters, Mrs. Edgar A. Mer- 
chant and Miss Effie Parkhurst of

SAD INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH THE 
DEATH OF HuGH PARKHURST. 
A rather sad matter in connection 
with the death of Hugh Parkhurst at 
Edgewood, West Gloucester, last Sat- 
urday, was the fact that he had just 
completed arrangements to take 
charge of a fruit plantation in Porto 
Rico, where he spent several weeks, 
visiting in February and March. Mr. 
Parkhurst was accompanied to Porto 
Rico by his brother, Leander Park- 
hurst of Beverly, and so favorably 
were they impressed with the coun- 
try and its future, that they took an 
option on a tract of 130 acres of fruit 
land there, and on their return to this 
country, they organized a company, 
raising the sum of $30,000, to be de- 
voted to the development of the prop- 
erty. Hugh Parkhurst was to have 
been resident manager, and he ex- 
pected to leave for there in a few 
weeks, sending for his family in the 
fall. 
Just one week before his death, the 
final arrangements had been made 
and Mr. Parkhurst was looking for- 
ward to realizing the dream of his 
life, which was to become a horticul- 
turalist. He had a natural inclination 
and aptitude for raising fruits and 
was never so happy and contented as 
when working about the grounds that 
surrounded his home at Edgewood. 
In spite of the rocky character of the 
soil, he had with infinite pains and 
skill raised a large amount of fruit, 
berries and vegetables every year. It 
was always his ambition to have a 
place where he could devote his time 
and energies to the raising of fruits, 
at which he would have been an un- 
qualified success, and now just at the 
time when his desire was about to be 
gratified, the Grim Reaper steps in 
with his summons from which there 
is no appeal, and puts an end to all 
earthly hopes and ambitions and 
plans.
