Big Sandy News March 1916
Husband and Wife Die at Same Time
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parker aged about 75 years died within two hours of each 
other at their home on Cherokee, this county, last Saturday.
A short time ago Mrs Parker sustained a fall and it was supposed it was the 
cause of her death.
They had been married a long time and it is thought that her aged husband died 
from grief over the death of his companion.
Each had frequesntly been heard to express a wish that they would die together 
or die at the same time. It would seem therefore that Providence had granted 
their desire.
Mrs. Parker was a sister of the late Dr. Sparks, who for many years, lived at 
the Mouth of Hood. All these parties were well known residents of the Blaine 
Country.


Additional Comments:
Francis Marion and wife Phoeba Jane were buried in a single casket in the 
Parker Cemetery on Parker Fork in Cherokee, Kentucky.
