He is a brother of H. B. Parker of Boston, senior member of the wholesale boot and shoe firm of Parker, Holmes & Co. In 1877 the subject of this sketch succeeded the firm of Houghton & Crandall in Putnam, and has since been engaged in business there, controlling one of the best trades in his business in eastern Connecticut.
He was formerly an officer in Company G, of the Third Regiment, Connecticut National Guard, and was an aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Graham for two years, ranking as captain. His selection for staff service was a high compliment, showing the confidence that was placed in his ability as a national guardsman. He resigned when the military troubles began in the state in 1890, retiring from the service with his chief. Captain Parker is a republican in politics.
