   George B Parker of Pittsburg, Penna, a well known attorney-at-law with offices
   at 426 Diamond Street, was born in West Finley township, Washington county,
   Penna, October 2, 1862, son of the late Warren Parker and Margaret Sutherland
   Parker. 
   
   His father was born in Washington county, Penna, October 19, 1826, and was a
   son of Hiram Parker and Nancy Heaton Parker. Warren Parker spent his entire
   life in  his native county, where he was extensively engaged in agriculture
   until his death, December 24, 1892. Margaret Sutherland Parker was born in West
   Finley township, Washington county, Penna, February, 1830, daughter of Daniel
   Sutherland and his wife, who prior to marriage was a Barnes. Mrs Parker now
   resides in her native township and is the mother of three children: George B
   Parker; Addie M Parker; and C W Parker, bookkeeper in the Second National Bank
   of Pittsburg, who married Gertrude McCullough, and has a son, Theodore Parker.
   
   Geroge B Parker was reared on his father's farm, and acquired his early
   educational training in the common schools of his native township. Later he
   attended the state normal school at California, Penna, where he was graduated
   in 1888, and then for several years with much success taught school in
   Washington and Allegheny counties. Subsequently he read law in the office of
   Thomas D Chantler of Pittsburg; was graduated from the law department of
   Dickinson college of Carlisle, Penna, in 1896, and has since continuously
   practiced in Pittsburg, Penna. Mr Parker is a member of all courts, has a
   splendid practice, and stands high among the attorneys of Allegheny county.
