They afterwards moved to McGillivray in the year 1884, taking up a bush farm. At that time that part of the country was little more than a wilderness, and the deceased did her share towards as- sisting and encouraging her husband in the pioneer days, and by industry and good management they succeeded notonly in making a comfortable home but in providing it competency for themselves in their declining years. She was one of the most kindhearted of women and many of the early set- tlers were the recipients of her kind ministrations and generosity. Of family of four children, only two sur- vive her, being John of Falkirk, and James on the homestead. The respect in which Mrs. Parrish was held by those who knew her best was well manifested by the large number who attended the funeral to pay a last tri- bute of respect and affection to one whom they loved in life.
