BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP p. 908 BIOGRAPHICAL
PARKER, T. W.- Farmer and stock raiser, section 28, P. 0. Des Moines.
Was born in Ohio, on the 11th day of January, 1823. In 1826 he was taken by his parents to Tippecanoe county, Indiana, where he was raised a farmer, and has followed it as an occupation since that time. In 1854 he removed to Iowa and settled near Carlisle, Warren county. In 1865 he came to this township and settled on section 35, and in 1868 moved where he now resides. His farm is one of the best improved in the township, containing 350 acres. He has been twice married. First, to Miss Eliza J. Kirk, in 1848. To them were born two children: George F., a prominent journalist and at the present time one of the editors of the Indiana State Sentinel, at Indianapolis, and Rend, deceased. Mrs. Parker died January 25, 1852. He was married again, in 1853, to Miss Mary Updegraff, a native of Indiana. Their family consists of eight children: Rufus, Charlie, Libbie, Walter A., H. Greeley, Frank, Harry and Lee.
(note above article was scanned and then read by an OCR reader so may have errors. One error I suspect is the name of Rend Parker, sibling to George. I believe this child would be, Rena Eliza Parker, Jan 21 1851 - Aug 27 1852, and buried in same cemetery as George & Eliza Ann Kirk Parker. CMarcell)
