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
- David PARKER was enumerated in the 1870 Census in Collin Co, TEXAS, working for John Hedgecoxe and his family. There are several HEDGECOXE family members buried in the Atoka Cemetery, Coleman Co, TEXAS, where David Absalom PARKER and many of his family are also buried.
