was . native Of Surrey Comfy. North
Csrolins, bot resided for some years in
Indiana, before coming to K 'nsss. We

sllv . Democrat. but vas . warm friend
Of Gen. Line. and from bis first residence
in Kansas. took his stand with tbe Free
State psrty. He was candidate for the
Legislature, in 1868. buf was defeated.
In 1866 he was elected Representative:
and was ag.in . candidate, last Fall. but
shared the defeat of the other Republican
candidates, in consequences Of there being
too m any in the field. He had been in
very poor health, for some months p.s,
Mr.. Parker was regarded as o good and
honest citizen, and possessed the respect
of his nsigbbos. His age must have
been near seventy years.
