Does anyone have information on the parents of Rebecca L. Parmerlee of Brown Co.? She
married James Perry Alder, brother of my great-grandfather, Leonidas Silcott Alder.
I have an old photo album that had belonged to Rev. Anderson Alder and his wife Martha Ann
(Hubbard). In it are many pictures well over 100 years old, and sadly, some are
unidentified. However, one of the pictures is of a soldier in uniform holding his rifle,
and on the back is the name Rolla Clark Alder. I have learned that this is a son of James
and Rebecca Alder of Missouri (where they moved to). Interestingly, I learned today that
Rolla C. Alder was the first Fire Chief of Tulsa, OK (started in 1900). Some people are
honored with the R.C. Alder Memorial Award for lifetime achievement. Chief Rolla Alder
passed away in 1967 at age 90. See this website:
