Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Parker Married Half Centiny---Resided Here Dorfa* Parker House Days ' Mr, and Mrs. Frank A. Parker, old time residents of this village and who . for many years figured quite prominently in the business as well as social , life of the community, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at 'their »t«mporary home at 221 South Clinton Ave., Oak Park, on Sunday, September 17. . Present to 4ssist **** couple in making the rare event a memorable one were their two sons, C. Otis Parker, wife and son and C. W. Parker and wife of Des Moines, *Ia.; Mrs. H. L. Blackman of Elgin, E. A. .Kennedy of Trevor, Wis., H. L. Blackman and family of Chicago and E. L. Mead and family of Oak Park. . Sumptuous dinner followed by an afternoon passed at social conversation, during whicfe many reminiscences were recalled, made the hours pass most pleasantly. * The fact that the mother of Mr. Parker 4s still alive made the anniversary all tile mor* singular. While she was unable to attend, she showed a great interest in same and, needless to say, joined the hundreds of relatives and friends of the couple in extending heartiest congratulations. The mother is still a resident of this village and bids fair to live to the century mark. She is now ninetyfour years of age. lilr. and Mrs. Parker were married at Genoa Junction, Wis.,* on September 17, 1872. Mr. Parker was born on a farm near Volo on August 28, 1849, while Mrs. Parker, whose maiden name was Surviah Kennedy, was born on a farm near Genoa Junction, Wis.. Feb. 17, 1847. At the age of fourteen, in the year of 1863, Mr. Parker's • father, the late Winslow Parker, moved to this village from the farm and purchased the <Jage House, the name of which was later changed to that of the Parker House. Here Mr. Parker grew to manhood and, in a manner of speaking, grew up with the hotel business. After leaving school he assisted his father in the conduct of the well known hostelry and continued in this capacity^ until the advent of the fire which totally destroyed the big structure. This was in 1890. The site now is occupied by the Simon Stoffel business block and residence. Some time after the fire Mr. and Mrs. Parker moved to Chicago, where they conducted a restaurant business for a number of years. From that city they moved to Elgin, where Mr. Parker was given the management of thfe National hotel, conducted by the Elgin National Watch company for their employes. In 1896 they moved to Sioux Rapids, la., and from there to Spencer and later to Des Moines. Their two sons, C. Otis and Carlos W., are now established in the later naaed city, where they are engaged in the manufacture of polishes for various uses. Since their entry into this business the elder Mr. Parker has been actively engaged thruout the central West in the establishing of agencies and it was this mission which brought him and his wife back to Chicago about eight months ago. However, Mr. Parker expects to finish his labors in that city some time in the near future, when he and his wife will travel south for the winter, expecting to put in the cold*months at Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas. Both Mr. and Mrs. Parker are enjoying the best of health and hope- to celebrate many more wedding anniversaries. Their "many friends in McHenry and thruout this community extend to them their choicest blessings and congratulations and •• i. 1 1 mi """ sincerely wish them continued health and many more years of happiness.
