General Notes: Husband - R. W. Parkinson, Jr.

He was reared in Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and attended the Sparta school until 1889, when he entered Waynesburg College, from which he was graduated in 1894. He then registered as a law student in the office of John W. Dorman at Washington, where he pursued his law studies for one year and then entered the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, as a special student. He gave attention to common law, pleading, evidence, torts and corporation law for one year and then returned to Mr. Dorman for another year, was admitted to the bar of Washington County, and on September 1, 1895, commenced to practice. He gained a substantial clientage and was successful in cases before both the Superior and Supreme Courts. He also had valuable business interests aside from his profession, one of these being the coal industry.
