Brother Parker was born November 9th, 1837, in Houston County, Georgia, but moved when only five years old to Hancock County, Georgia, and there he joined the Masons when a young man, at Island Creek Church.
He went to the war of the sixties and stood as a hero for his country. After the war he moved his memebership to Wrightsville, Georgia, then from there to Cochran, Georgia, and later to Empire, in which lodge he lived a true Mason until old age and failure of health caused his death.
Brother Parker was sick two months, during which time he would want to wait on himself. On the third day of August, very early in the morning, he was called to his great reward, there to await the resurrection.
He leaves a wife and four sons: Sampson, David and Daniel of Empire; and Joseph of Pinehurst, Ga.
He was laid to rest in the Yearty Cemetery. The Empire Lodge No. 527, F. & A. M., assisted by a few Brethren of the Cochran lodge, paid the last sad rites in a body.
