General Notes: Husband - William Perry Parker
He grew to manhood at Parker City, PA, and was educated in the public schools. In 1881 he began his individual business career as a merchant there and in 1884 became proprietor of his own store. He carried a very large stock, mainly groceries and hardware, and not only was one of the progressive business men but also one of the most enterprising and public-spirited citizens of the place. Beginning in 1880 he was also extensively interested in the oil industry, and had other interests, being a stockholder and a member of the board of directors of the First National Bank of Parker. Although not united with any church body, he was a contributor to all denominations and gave liberally toward the erection of a handsome church edifice of the Presbyterians at Parker. Politically he was a Republican and served as a member of the city council. On Nov. 4, 1913, he was elected sheriff of Armstrong county for four years, as the Republican candidate, receiving a large majority over a Democrat and Washington party candidates. He was a member of Parker City Lodge, No. 521, F. & A. M. [HAC 1914, 507]
