* FAMILY STORY: letter from Martha Moore Parker to Clementena Parker Hannah, 02 June 1982
"We think he [Pat Parker] favors your Dad [David Frederick Parker] so much -- his hair was the same and he talked like your Dad. He [Pat Parker] was so kind, and had so many stories to tell us about his Uncle Fred and Aunt Tena. He said he had rather stay with them than stay at his home. He said that he was about 10 years old and he brother Mike was about 8 years old when Uncle Fred got married. He said they hid out in the hills and waited for them to come home after they got married - then they went home with them and spent the night with them. He had lots to tell about things that happened when he lived in Novice. He said he loved your mother and daddy so much. He said Tena was beautiful, and she was one of the most wonderful ladies he had ever known."

PARKER
The Dave Parkers came to Novice in 1875 and built a two room log cabin. In 1885 they built a two story rock home that was a show place in West Texas. The rock came from a quarry on their own ranch and it took more than two years to build the complete and spacious structure. Lumber was hauled by wagon from Fort Worth, and it took two weeks to make the trip. The Parkers also did their grocery shopping in Fort Worth, buying green coffee, flour and sugar in large quantities. Their home reeked to the rafters with delicious food and square dance parties. Mr Parker owned the first gin, first reaper and first thresher in Coleman County.

* Research Notes
