GEORGE L PARKER
George L PARKER was born in Cincinatti OH Jan 9 1855 and died near
Richland Nov 13 1929.
His parents moved to Indiana when he was nine years old and settled
on the LOUIS ROTH farm near Midway.
He did not have the advantages of an education but being endowed with
the unusual ability and by the practice of strict economy
he made a success in the things of the world.
He was married to Miss MARIE GOODMAN on Jan 9 1875 and to this union
three children, two daughters and one son were born
Mrs TILLIE HALSEY, MRS ELECT DIEKMAN and son ERNEST PARKER who burned
to death at the age of three years old.
His wife and companion died in 1898.
He was married again Jan 9 1899 to Miss OLIVE ELY and to this union
seven children were born three sons, GEORGE,PAUL and ERNEST,
and four daughters VELVIA,DENORAH,ELSIE and INEZ PARKER.
He was a charter member of Richand I.O.O.F. lodge, of the Rockport
encampment and of the Knights of Pythias lodge at Lake Mill,
and until his health broke he was a director at the Lake State Bank.
He never united in any church but believed in the teachings of the
Christian Church and contributed to its support.
While a young man he bought a large tract of land near Liberty
Schoolhouse and by good management succeeded in paying for it and by
industry he cleared
the land and made it one of the finest and most productive farms in
the community.
He had been invalid for several years much of the time confined to
his room and no doubt when the call came he welcomed the
messenger. A good citizen, neighbor and father has gone.
