General Notes: Husband - Harold Thompson Parker

---

He grew up in Oil City, Pennsylvania, acquiring his early literary education in the public schools. He graduated from high school in 1902 and followed with a course at Princeton University, from which institution he was graduated in 1907 with the degree of A. B., upon his return to Oil City entering the law offices of Trax and Parker to prepare for the legal profession. After thorough grounding in legal principles and the routine of practice he passed the bar examination in 1911 and was admitted to practice in Venango County, where he became well established, maintaining offices in the Trax and Parker building in Oil City. He was also admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He commanded a lucrative clientele from the beginning of his independent career, and he succeeded in winning the public confidence to such an extent that he held the position of county solicitor, having been honored with the appointment in 1916. He held membership in the Lawyers' Club of Oil City, and socially was associated with the Ivy and Boat Clubs, serving as treasurer of the latter. [CAB, 463]
