later taught school at Sand Branch

In November, 1926. Mr. Parker
was elected to the office of county
clerk of McCulloch County and at
the time of his death, still held
this office. The present term
would have made 24 years in of-

April as a candidate for re-elec-

run after this election.
Mr. Parker was born in Ark-
