According to Angie's daughter's marriage certificate, Angie was born August 26, 1858 however, in her memoir she was said to have been born on August 26 in 1857. She was raised on her family's farm on Swan's Hill in Bethel and attended the common school of Bethel and Bethel Academy. In 1884, she graduated from Kent's Hill College for women in Maine. She married Reverand Abel E. Parlin in Bethel on June 23, 1886 when he was serving as pastor at North Anson, Maine. The next year they moved to Madison, Maine where her son Elwyn was born. In 1890 they were living in Livermore where Leona was born. From 1891 to 1895, they moved frequently, as pastor's families were required, from Livermore to Bridgton and later Gorham, New Hampshire. In Gorham, Abel became increasingly infirm, possibly from tuberculosis. Shortly after being transferred to Paris, Maine he died at age 35 leaving Angie with "the responsibilities of bringing up and supporting two children. How well she did her work is clearly shown in her two children." She may have become a school teacher(from Maule family tree) but she is listed as a nurse on census data and her son, Elwyn's passport. After Abel's death she lived for a time in Framingham, MA where her brother and father were living. "For about fourteen years she was a valued worker and member in the Methodist Episcopal Church in South Framingham, Mass." After her father died in 1907 "...she returned to her native town where her loving care of the sick and ministry to the sorrowing, and constant and efficient work in the Church of her youth will long be remembered. She had a rare and sympathetic understanding of the problems and sorrows of others. To many she was a bulwark in time of hardship and perplexity. Her pastors found her loyal, wise and helpful—very generous, friendly…" "Her sunset years were spent in the home of her daughter where she was loved, honored and cared for so tenderly..." and where she died peacefully sometime between 1930 and 1940.
