JOHN W. PARKER --1897
Born in Dallas County, October 6, 1859, John W. Parker
came to Hamilton in 1883. He taught school, studied law, and was admitted
to the bar in 1888. In 1892, he was elected county judge, did not run in
1894, and in 1886 was elected district attorney. He was one of the few
democrats of that time who were elected over Populist opponents.
