General Notes: Husband - James Parker

---

He was born at Lawrenceburg (Parker City), Armstrong County, PA, and there grew to manhood. For several years he owned a half interest in the ferry at Parkers Landing, and from 1861 until 1866 he was proprietor of the “Eagle Hotel,” at Callensburg, Clarion County. When he returned to Parker City the oil excitement was at its height, and he became interested in the oil business, in which he continued until his death. For five years he engaged in the hotel business at Par­ker City and also was in the mercantile busi­ness, selling his interest in the latter line in the seventies. He then purchased the old homestead, where he followed farming, but later re-entered the mercantile business at Par­ker and continued in this line until the close of a very long and busy career. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and con­tributed largely toward the erection of the first Presbyterian edifice built at Lawrence­burg. Politically he was a Republican, and he served one term as justice of the peace.

His death occurred in 1893. [HAC 1914, 507]
