One of his practices was to give strychnine to his chickens to see them stagger around. He also was unable to find a wife in the area, so he sent for a mail order wife. She arrived, took one look at him, and married a neighbor man.
The next attempt at marriage was more successful. Parker went to Portland and married a woman with four children.
They returned to his home. At the end of two months, an argument developed. In order to scare her, Parker placed some of the poison on his tongue and accidentally swallowed it. He rushed to a neighbor's home where huge doses of lard were to be administered - but to no avail. Parker died on their doorstep."
