LaFayette Parker, deceased, was born in Richmond, Vt., September 10, 1817, and died at his home in Racine, November 14, 1885, respected by all who knew him. He was one of fourteen children born unto Uriel and Barsheba (Gray) Parker, who spent their lives in Vermont. His father was a merchant and also owned a large farm in his native State. He spent many years in public office and was a popular and prominent man in the community where he resided.
The subject of this sketch spent his boyhood and youth in the usual way in which the time of farmer lads is occupied. He received only the educational advantages afforded by the common schools, but such was his application that he became a highly cultured man. In Richmond, Vt., he married Lucy M. Drury, the wedding being celebrated January 1, 1838. The lady was born in Highgate, Vt., October 1, 182O, and is a daughter of Daniel and Lucy M. (Marshall) Drury, natives of Rutland and Poultney, Vt., respectively. The father was a machinist by occupation and died when Mrs. Parker was but ten years of age. In the family were twelve children but she is the only one now living.
In 1841, Mr. Parker and his wife, travelling by way of the lakes, came to Racine. The weather was very stormy during the passage and it took three weeks to make the trip. About a week after their arrival, our subject fell, breaking a thigh and for two years the accident confined him to his home. Through the ignorance of the doctor who attended him, the bones were overlapped and the limb thus made shorter which caused a slight limp in his walk. During his illness, his financial resources ran very low and a letter, the postage on which was two shillings, remained in the post office two weeks before he had money enough to take it out. He obtained the necessary cash as payment for serving upon a jury. After he was once more enabled to work, Mr. Pendleton gave him an outfit for making small beer and Mrs. Parker, ever ready to help, did baking; thus they furnished lunch to the farmers, who at that time came from long distances to trade in Racine. On the 1st of January, 1848, Mr. Parker was made Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court, under his brother, I.G. Parker, who had come to the county with him. In 1854·he was elected Circuit Clerk and held the office continuously until 1860, when failing health caused him to decline to again become a candidate for the office, but in 1862 he was brought forward once more, was elected by a good majority and served for one more term as Circuit Clerk, when he had to give up political life. During his service in that office he studied law and was admitted to the bar, although it was not his intention to practice, as he merely wished the legal knowledge to aid him in the discharge of his official duties. For a time, as a member of the firm of Parker & Winship he engaged in the manufacture or pumps, but their works were burned and he then abandoned that trade, embarking in the hardwood lumber business.
Politically, Mr. Parker was a Whig until the rise of the Republican party of which he became a staunch advocate. For some three or four years he was Alderman from the Fifth Ward and was a member and for two years had been President of the School Board. A warm-hearted, conscientious man, he won the love and respect of all. He attended and supported the Congregational Church, of which Mrs. Parker is still a member. As a business man he had few superiors and his advice was often sought by those who had estates to settle. In him the widow found a true friend and a ready helper. Many were the estates which he settled, among which that of Sidney A. Sage, Sr. He performed his last official act upon his deathbed, this being the signing of papers as secretary of the Taylor Orphan Asylum, of which he had been a director and secretary for four years. He died November 14, 1885, and in his death the community lost one of its best citizens.
Although Mr. And Mrs. Parker never had any children of their own they adopted two girls, one an orphan, Harriet N., who is now the wife of H. E. Rounds, editor and proprietor of the Rogers Park (Ill.) News. The other is now Mrs. Carrie Coulter, of Colorado. Mr. Parker lived in this country for forty-four years and such was his kind and genial disposition and such his ability that he won hosts of friends and the confidence of all. Mrs. Parker still survives him and is living at No. 952 Superior Street. She, too, has many warm friends throughout the community and is a lady possessing many excellencies of character. Parents: Ariel PARKER-302 and Barsheba GRAY-3747.
