Jim: Will prepare an envelope of information to mail to your P. O. Box tomorrow. Now, way back in my past, I remember seeing a picture of Judge Parker in an Armstrong County History Book, and Parkers Landing, now Parker, Pa. (the smallest city in the U.S.) had an oil boom and large population, now down to about 3,000 people, more or less. was named for a Judge Parker. Armstrong Historical Society should have more information available.I graduated High School in Parker in 1948. and attended my 50 year reunion in 1998 and still have many friends and relatives in that area. I live in California now. Pearl --- Jim Parker <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Pearl, Thank you so much for the reply. I just > got back from Butler > County.
