Mrs. Parrish had been a member of Sanborn Baptist Church. She moved to Iona, Iowa after her marriage to Roderick Parrish, who died several years ago. Surviving is a brother, Ralph C. Barnum of Lockport.
Her gravestone shows her as Lura B. Parrish. The initial "B" may have stood for "Barnum", her maiden surname, but her middle initial was actually "G".
