Hiram Parker of Brookville
HIRAM PARKER FAMILY
Hiram Parker was living in Brookville at least as early as 1900, with his wife, Jennie. Hiram was born in July of 1874, and Jennie in August of 1879. At that time, he was employed as a day laborer. By 1910, they had a son, Hiram E., and were still living in Brookville next to Jesse and Debroah Estlow (see above). However, in 1910, Jennie was no longer there: Hiram had been married for seven years to another woman, Florence (she is listed as his second wife; he was her first husband). Hiram E. must be the offspring of the second marriage, as he was only five in 1910. They also had another son, Francis H. Parker, age 3 in 1910. By 1920, the family was still in Brookville. It seems that Hiram E. was now going by the name "Earl". Hiram, sr. was still a laborer, and no new children had arrived. They lived next door to Alvin Couch in 1920. By 1930, Florence was dead. Hiram was now a cranberry grower and his two sons were laborers at a cranberry bog. It may be that Hiram owned the bog at w hich Thomas Sweeney was the foreman and Charles Peters was a laborer.
