Martin Mark Parker
Annie Sanders has been
discovering more about
Martin Parker. There
have been many questions about his life and
death that have been
difficult to answer.
Martin was the son of
Drucilla. She had him
from a previous marriage. Drucilla then
married Joshua Parker.
Joshua treated Martin as
if he was his own son.
Martin also went by the
name of Mark.
This article was copied
from a book titled, (The
First 100 Years History
of Holden); copied by
Harold Parker, nephew
of Martin Robert Parker,
who was born 30 Sept.
1842, at Brownstown,
Jackson, Ind. “Martin
was at Nauvoo as a
small child, when the
Prophet Joseph Smith,
was murdered at Carthage Jail. He was with
his Father and Mother;
who were Joshua
Parker & Druscilla
Dickson Hartley
Parker. He with
his Father and
Mother were at
Nauvoo, when the
church broke up
and suffered much
persecution and
hardships along
with the rest of the
Saints who were
there at that time.
There were more
children born after
1844 to Joshua and Drusilla, and Martin with the
rest of the family traveled
to many other places to
get away from persecution; also to earn a living.
“The family finally arrived at Kainsville, Iowa
in 1849. Martin would be
only 7 years old at this
time, but it is my guess
that Martin, started at this
tender age to help his father get an outfit ready to
cross the great plains, to
the Great Salt Lake Valley. It is apparent that the
family spent a great deal
of the time, in the next
three years getting ready
for the long and hard trek,
besides earning a livelyhood for the present.
“Father, Joshua, was a
Cabinet Maker by trade,
and this would help considerable, in his fitting
himself out. It also explains how Martin, came
to be a carpenter by trade.
“There is a possibility that
Father Joshua, (being a cabinet maker by trade) could
have traded labor with other
men, such as blacksmiths,
wheelwrights and so on; and
in this way they could all get
there outfits ready. However in the year 1852, some
time in the summer; the
Joshua Parker and family,
left Kainsville, with the
Lisebenth Company, of hundreds of people, and arrived
in in Great Salt Lake City,
Oct 9, 1852.

“Martin was 10 years old
when they left Kainsville,
and I believe he was under
quite heavy responsibility,
even at this tender age; helping to maintain the equipment, chores continuously,
even to shooting wild game
for meat.
“Martin, in all probability
had his own musket to stand
guard, and watch out for
unfriendly Indians who were
ever lurking around to run
the stock off.
“After the family got to Salt
Lake City, and got some
what oriented, father Joshua
Parker, built an Adobe
home; the address of which
later on became, 321 West
North Temple. It was situated in the old 16th Ward.
Here Martin Robert
Parker lived with his family
until he removed to Scipio,
Millard, Utah and married
Mary Agnes Leonora Robins.

Through much searching,
Annie Sander discovered
the following information
about him and his tragic
death in the City archives.
“A large crowd gathered to

in charge. He failed in Two

leader among the young folks
and often called for the
changes in the square dancing.
He was buried on the hill.
In 2005 Annie and Jeff Sander
took many trips to the area in
search of information and
hopefully the gravesite.

After several dead ends
they kept searching until
they relocated his grave.
They noted that he was not
known as Martin but as
Mark.
Finding Bubbles
Such was the case for Bubbles. Lewis Leland Parker
was named Bubbles because when he was born,
the doctor was surprise
when bubbles came out
before he did.,oca

For many children when they
growing up they are given
nicknames for fun. It makes
genealogy difficult if that
nickname sticks and makes it
hard to locate someone.
They wondered if she had
just been carrying a large
bubble in her stomach all
that time until and baby boy
was finally born. Lewis
Leland Parker was born to
Leona Lillie Clark and
Lewis Hartley Parker. His
Grandparents are Daniel
and Hannah Barbara Parker.
Steve Parker, the Son of
“Bubbles” made a connection
with the Parker site and then
was referred to Suzanne Hansen for further information.
Steve was thrilled with all the
information and photos of the
family. He is now living in
Oregon.
Steve recalled about is Father, “ Lewis (Bubbles)
graduated from West High
School, probably Class of
1953.
“He was quite the track
man. He and three of his
classmates were given scholarships to the University of
Utah in track. They apparently held a record for the 4
X 100 relay there for many
years. As time went on he
took the nickname Lee.
“While living in Salt Lake he
worked for the police department. One night Lee heard a
call for all officers in the area
to merge together blocking an
area in hot pursuit of a dangerous
person described by the dispatcher. Lee revved up the motor
and drove the car in a heated pursuit driving right into his superior’s officer’s car.
“Trying to apprehend the man in
the confusion of the moment no
one knew about he had crashed
his car into a fellow officer’s car,
and he was never asked about the
event either.
“Lee moved to California and
there he world and a clothing
salesmen is several clothing
stores, and several years he got
tired of it and decided to got into
Real Estate. He then formed the
company, Lee Parker Realty in
1974 located at 480 N. Civic Dr.
#104, Walnut Creek, CA.”

Finding Bubbles continued
Lee worked the business until he
became to weak and ill, and then
moved back to Salt Lake City just
down from the old Parker home and
his boyhood memories. Soon after
that he admitted himself to a Rest
home that use the old elementary
School that many of the Parkers had
attended. Lee’s health worsened and
he died on 31 May 2004.
The funny thing is “Bubbles” was
right under our noses while we
searched for him. Thanks to Steve
Parker searching for us as well we
were able to find the information
about a family of Lewis Hartley
Parker and connect with a family that
we didn’t know really existed.

More on the Louis Harley Parker Line
I was born in 1949 in San Francisco, California to Robert and
LaRae Williams Clifford. I lived
there until about 1952/3 when we
moved back to Salt Lake City,
Utah.
LaRae was the daughter of James
Williams and Leona Lillie Clark
Williams Parker (she married
Louis Harley Parker on 14 Apr
1934), so Louis was her step-father
and my step-grandfather.
However, he was the grandfather I
knew and grew up with. My
mother had two siblings that were
born to Leona and James Williams
(Eugene and JayDean). After
Leona married Louis, they had one
son together, Lewis Leland Parker
(Lee), who passed away last year.
I was fortunate to track down and
converse with one of his sons, Steve,
after Lee's death. Lee was also
known as Bub or Bubbles.
I have two younger brothers, David
Clifford who lives in West Valley
City, Utah, and Rick Clifford who
lives in West Jordan, Utah.
I was raised in Salt Lake, graduated
from West High School in 1967,
married in 1969 and moved to Idaho,
Washington, and Canada before returning to Salt Lake.
I married Paul Maxwell in 1977 and
we moved to Sandy, Utah where we
still reside. We had grown up together in the Rose Park area of Salt
Lake.

When Suzanne Hansen went hoping to
do research on the Parker line, she was
shocked there was very little that she
found there about the Parkers other
than obituaries and address in the
street and phone directories.
When going through the thousands of
filing cabinets of photographs no photos of Joshua or Drucilla or family
members existed. It was as if they had
never lived, yet she knew they had.

information and now with a commitment make information even more

Eagles fly at Bayfield bank
By Patricia Miller
Arts & Entertainment Editor
Eleven-foot high bronze eagles soar beside the First
National Bank of Bayfield. They are the work of the
sculptor Raymond Gibby from Springville, Utah.
Gibby has been sculpting for four years, following early
work in lithography and an apprenticeship as a metal chaser
and point-up artist at a fine art bronze foundry. His work is
representational, centering on animals and people.
The 500-pound artwork was installed Tuesday in driving
rain. A crane lifted it, and concrete drills prepared the base.
A Wet Vac and hair dryers were used to dry the concrete to
ensure stability, said Shanan Campbell Wells, owner of
Durango's Sorrel Sky Gallery, who found the sculpture for
the bank. She spent a couple of months searching for the
right piece.
Sculptor Raymond Gibby of Springville,
Utah, installs his 11-foot sculpture in front of
the First National Bank of Bayfield on
Tuesday.
The patina is mostly dark bronze with the birds' heads
picked out in white and gold.
The sculpture was part of an edition of 20 and was bought
by the bank for $26,000. The city of Irving, Texas, bought
the first sculpture of the edition and Bayfield bought the
second, Gibby said by phone from his studio on Thursday.
The site meant that the bank needed to choose a sculpture
that would work when seen all the way around, Wells said
on Wednesday. It could not opt for relief sculpture.
She added that the bank's original plans were to put a
flagpole in that spot, but only hours before it was to be
installed, the bank's President Steve Short decided on a
sculpture instead. The flagpole now
sits off to the side.

Because of many unnecessary infant deaths due to lack
of clothing, blankets and hats.
Diane and Reynold began a
project to aid to the mothers

needed 500 caps or booties
for new born babies. She
suggests in her e-mail, “These

Babies will die this winter
because of exposure to the
cold so perhaps you could
contact church...or find a
source that would donate the
'new born caps' ...and donate
then for a project in Orissa

“The winter months here begin in October thru February,

quickly. I have been reading
in some medical books that it
is important to keep the heads
and feet covered of the newborn’s.
“Here in India the mothers
use their old sarees to cradle
the babies in other wise that
babies have no covering. We
are having some of the local
woman make baby blanket,
but we feel the caps will help
immensely.

invited to be apart of the project. Family members from

The items were costly to ship

perfect for the distribution

Koraput about 9:30 for the 1

jerky, Reynold finally asked
him to slow down. It was
very nerve raking!!
The response was heart
warming and by December
first the project was well on
it’s way.
Hats, bootie, and clothing
started pouring in. By December 17th, 2005, the LDS
church was connected to
helping with the delivery and
shipment of the items. It was
then discovered that the
country would not allow the

little family ties. Each goes searching after
pleasure in his own selected way, Each with
strangers likes to wander, and with strangers
likes to play.
The gladdest people living are the wholesome folks who make
A circle at the fireside that no power but
death can break.
But it's bitterness they harvest, and it's empty
joy they find, For the children that are wisest
are the stick-together kind.
And the finest of conventions ever held
beneath the sun Are the little family gatherings when the busy day is done.
There are some who seem to fancy that for
gladness they must roam, That for smiles that
are the brightest they must wander far from
home. That the strange friend is the true friend,
and they travel far astray they waste their lives
in striving for
joy that's far away, But the gladdest sort of
people, when the busy day is done,
There are rich folk, there are poor folk, who
imagine they are wise, And they're very
quick to shatter all the
people, when the busy day is done, Are the
brothers and the sisters who together share
their fun.
It's the stick-together family that wins the joys
of earth, That hears the sweetest music and
that finds the finest mirth; It's the old home
roof that shelters all the charm that life can
give; There you find the gladdest playground,
there the happiest spot to live.
And, O weary, wandering brother, if contentment you would win, Come you back unto the
fireside and be comrade with your kin.
Determining age of Family Photographs
One of the most exciting things
about discovering your roots and
ancestors is finding old photographs.
Photographs will assist you in determining the age and time frames in
which the photo was taken. The following are fact about the different
types that will help you in
identifying family photos that might
be hanging around your house in
boxes or attics. What ever the photos be sure to care for it by storing
and protecting it for the future.
The following are the most important features used to identify a type of photograph:
(1) Positive or negative
(4) Color, tone
(2) Nature of support material
(5) Characteristics of deterioration
(3) Texture, surface quality

Parker Family Reunion 2005
The members of Parker family
gather for a Parker Reunion was
held in Salt Lake City in the Historical Brigham Young Lion
House July 17, 2005.
A luncheon was held. As the
family came together their were
many ages, the youngest member to attend the gather was
Jaycee Jensen age: 7, and the
oldest in attendance was Wilford Lindman age: 83, and
husband of Mary Louise Parker
Lindman. All had a great time.
It was wonderful to gather with
family members and share information about different family branches. There were many
descendents from several of
Joshua Parkers children’s lines.
Represented were the Parley
Pratt Parker line and Frederick
A Parker, and Daniel Parker
lines.
After the family introductions, family
business was discussed regarding reach
on the family line, as well as the publication of the Parker family CD consisting
of 1,736 Files and 265 files of information gathered about Joshua and his family.
Then it was announced that the next
family Reunion would be held in September 2006 in a Park more children
could attend the function.
Suzanne Hansen is currently continuing the
gathering of information to be place on the
Parker Update CD Volume one. As this
CD is filled with new photos and information on the Parker families it will be make
available to family members.
Please feel free to contact her by mail at
2397 West Palmetto Dr. Taylorsville, Utah

[email protected]
These types of gatherings are
extremely important for family
members to share and discuss
family research.
Too often the same reach has
been done over and over again,
making it difficult to archive the
much need results.
