This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Parry, Larsh, Vernon, Charles, Monks, Griffis, Gray, Hiatt, Walter G. PARRY. As one of the learned men who administer the law upon the great principles laid down by the eminent jurists of the past, Walter G. Parry, of Winchester, lives up to the ethics of the legal profession and has won distinction in the practice of law. Like all honorable members of his calling, he strives to get at the truth of a dispute and solve the real question irrespective of the technicalities that might otherwise surround the problem. The people of Randolph County are justly proud of him and of the principles for which he stands. The birth of Walter G. Parry occurred at Richmond, Indiana, March 30, 1873, and he is a son of George and Anna (Larsh) Parry, both natives of Indiana, she having been born in Wayne County. The paternal grandparents were Robert and Esther (Vernon) Parry, and the grandfather came from Pennsylvania to Wayne County, Indiana, at an early day and settled at Richmond, where he worked at his trade of a plasterer. The maternal grandparents were LeRoy and Elizabeth (Charles) Larsh, the latter of whom was born in Preble County, Ohio. For years LeRoy Larsh conducted a saw and gristmill, operated by waterpower, on Liberty Turnpike. Learning the trade of a plasterer from his father, George Parry worked at it until he moved to Randolph County and settled on a farm, in 1875. There he continued to live until 1913, when he returned to Richmond, Indiana. He remained in that city until the death of his wife and mother, when he took up his residence with his son Walter G., at Winchester, where he resided until his death August 22, 1929. Completing his work in the common and high schools of Lynn, Indiana, Walter G. Parry took up the study of law at Winchester with James S. Engle, and was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1894, immediately there-after entering into partnership with his preceptor. Subsequently the firm became Engle, Caldwell & Parry. Eight years later Judge Engle, being elected to the bench of the Circuit Court, retired from the firm, and the name became Caldwell & Parry. When the senior member became judge of the Appellate Court Mr. Parry continued practice alone, and appears in all of the courts. He belongs to the Randolph County Bar Association and the Indiana State Bar Association. On October 18, 1891, Mr. Parry was married to Miss Hattie B. Monks, born at Greenville, Ohio, and there is one son surviving, Robert L., who resides at Winchester; the other son, James R., saving died at the age of seventeen years. The first Mrs. Parry died April 13, 1924. On May 1, 1926, Mr. Parry was married to Mrs. Grace H. Griffis, born at Winchester, a daughter of Henry and Melissa (Gray) Hiatt, natives of Randolph County. There are no children of this marriage. Mr. Parry is a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His fraternal connections are those, which he maintains with the Knights of Pythias. In addition to his professional connections Mr. Parry is president of the American Security Company, of which he is an organizer and charter member. In political faith he is a Republican, and has been one of the local leaders for years, serving as mayor of Winchester from 1906 to 1910, and as secretary of the Randolph county central committee for three consecutive terms.
