Marriage to Eva May Tucker 6 Oct 1915
Parker, Fremont, Idaho
They had 6 children.

Parley was named after Parley's Canyon, which is a canyon located in the U.S. state of Utah. The canyon provides the route of Interstate 80 (and previously the Lincoln Highway, U.S. Route 40, and a railroad) up the western slope of the Wasatch Mountains and is a relatively wide, straight canyon other than near its mouth. The mountain pass at the top of the canyon is known as Parley's Summit. With an elevation of 7,120 feet (2,170 m), the pass is the highest point along I-80 in the state of Utah. Both the Summit and the Canyon are named for Parley P. Pratt, an early settler of the Salt Lake Valley and Mormon leader who surveyed the area to find a better transportation route through the Wasatch Mountains than the previous route which traversed Emigration Canyon.
