Asa Parker, one of the pioneers of Oregon, died at the home of his son, Rev. William Parker at Puyallup. To the last he had
the use of all of his faculties and vividly recalled pioneer days, especially concerning Oregon City, his former home, where he
was in business for years.

Parker was born in Greenwood, Pa., March 15, 1822. He crossed the plains before the time of the railroads, settling in
Oregon. He retired from business ten years ago, and had been living with his son, Rev. Gilman Parker, who is more than 70 years
old. Parker is survived by two other children and 13 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

The funeral will be in Oregon City.
