General Notes: Husband - Isaac Parker


He was a hardy pioneer boy, who de­lighted in the pastimes of hunting and playing in the dense forest that sur­rounded his father's log cabin. At an early age he attended the district school, and obtained what knowledge he could, but as he grew older he was obliged to assist in his father's saw-mill. His thirst for knowledge was great, books at that time were scarce, and his father's library contained but few vol­umes. Such as they were he read and re-read, every spare moment being spent in study, and by this course he mastered the rudiments of a good education.
