MALINDA (HAINES) PARKER, 06 Feb 1848 - 06 Apr 1902

   Malinda Haines was born in Carroll county, Ohio, Feb. 6, 1848, and died 
at her home in Salem township, April 6, 1902, aged 54 years and 2 months.
   Since 1852 her home has been in Steuben county.  She was married Jan. 
1, 1867, to Samuel Parker, and to this union were born seven children.  
Five sons and twin daughers, the latter dying in infancy.  There is left 
to mourn their great loss, a husband, five sons, George, Thomas, Earl, 
Orlah, and Logan; two sisters, Miss Sarah Haines of Burr Oak, Mich., and 
Mrs. Geo. Hopkins of Salem Center; three brothers, William Haines, of 
Nebraska; Eli Haines, Burr Oak, Michigan; Thomas Haines, Orland, Indiana, 
and eight grandchildren.
   For many years she had been a member of the Presbyterian church, which 
was but a few steps from her home and very few Sundays passed that did not 
find her at God's house of worship.  She died as she lived, happy in the 
Savior's love, and her dying words were, "Christ's grace is sufficient for 
all."
   Funeral services were held at the Block church, April 9, conducted by 
Elder C. S. Medbury.
