RAISED FLAG AT VANCOUVER JOHN B. PARKER, CHARTER MEMBER WASHINGTON LODGE, AT REST.
Members of Washington Lodge, A.F. and A. M., gathered at the Finley chapel yesterday morning at 10 o’clock to pay a tribute to the memory of John B. Parker, a charter member of that lodge, whose funeral service was conducted by Rev. Robert Hope, interment taking place at Lone Fir Cemetery.
John B. Parker was born in Lexington, Ky., 70 years ago, migrating when a boy with his father’s family to the Oregon Country, and locating on the Columbia River at the point known as Parker’s Landing, which was established as the family homestead. When the officers of the Hudson’s Bay Company left Vancouver Barracks, some miscreant cut the rope on the flagpole, and Americans, who feared that it had been done with the intention of later claiming the territory north of the Columbia as British territory, were alarmed lest the authority of the United States Government was to be lost to their section, hastened to unfurl again the starry banner to the breeze. John B. Parker, then a youth, climbed the pole to replace the rope and flag, an incident that identified him with the early history of the locality. This incident was referred to by Dr. Hope in his remarks.
