Acc to my data OLIVE ELY married GEO L PARKER on Jan 8 1899.
She is the 2nd of his wives and mother to 7 of his children.
She was born NOV 1880 Spencer Co IN, this according to the 1900
Spencer County census where she and Geo share a home.
Being she was born so late in 1880 she is not found on that years
census with parents.
Geo died in 1929 in Spencer County and I lose track of OLIVE ELY
PARKER.
Acc to the obit of MARSHALL ELY in 1946 he had a daughter OLIVE who
survives him, but is listed as OLIVE HALSEY.
Could OLIVE HALSEY be OLIVE PARKER?
Is there another marriage for OLIVE ELY PARKER after 1929?
MARSHALL H ELY aged 86 yrs passed away at his home in Richland on Jan
1 1946 at 11:45 p.m.
Surviving are his wife and three sons, ALLEN,LOGAN and JAMES ELY.
Six daughters OLIVE HALSEY, MRS GRACE ICE,MRS ETHEL GASTON, MRS
ALBERTA KINCAID,MRS ABBIE ULMAN and MISS MARIE ELY.
George L PARKER was born in Cincinnati OH Jan 9 1855 and died near
Richland Nov 13 1929.His parents moved to Indiana when he was nine
years old and settled on the LOUIS ROTH farm near Midway. He did not
have the advantages of an education but being endowed with the
unusual ability and by the practice of strict economy he made a
success in the things of the world.
He was married to Miss MARIE GOODMAN on Jan 9 1875 and to this union
three children, two daughters and one son were born: Mrs. TILLIE
HALSEY, MRS ELECT DIEKMAN and son ERNEST PARKER who burned to death
at the age of three years old. His wife and companion died in 1898.
He was married again Jan 9 1899 to Miss OLIVE ELY and to this union
seven children were born three sons: GEORGE,PAUL and ERNEST, and four
daughters VELVIA, DENORAH, ELSIE and INEZ PARKER. He was a charter
member of Richland I.O.O.F. lodge, of the Rockport encampment and of
the Knights of Pythias lodge at Lake Mill, and until his health broke
he was a director at the Lake State Bank. He never united in any
church but believed in the teachings of the Christian Church and
contributed to its support. While a young man he bought a large tract
of land near Liberty Schoolhouse and by good management succeeded in
paying for it and by industry he cleared the land and made it one of
the finest and most productive farms in the community. He had been
invalid for several years much of the time confined to his room and
no doubt when the call came he welcomed the messenger. A good
citizen, neighbor and father has gone.
