Another mystery I found a grave marker in Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, MN for this person. There was a large monument for PARKER and then several markers on the ground in front of it. My digital camera was full so I have to return to the cemetery, which means I didn't get much information. However from the burial index I verified the following PARKER, Lorenzo Dow b 1827 d jun 28 1909 Los Angeles, CA the date he was buried in Lakewood is not noted. PARKER, Russell date of death and age are not noted but he was buried nov 11 1889 PARKER, Sarah Priscilla date of death and age not noted but burial was Nov 11 1889 PARKER, Florence marker notes 1851-1851 - she does not appear in the index but I assume she would have been moved to Lakewood from another location as the first burial in the cemetery was 1872. there are a few other markers but I do not have the names and they are not listed on the index at this time. Does anyone know anything about this Lorenzo Dow Parker? I found several of them at the LDS website but not fit the year of birth given. Clearly he had a Minnesota connection. He was too old to have been born here, and he died in California and was brought back here for burial. So I assume that possibly other family members (those noted) brought him back to the location where he owned a gravesite. Does anyone know who his parents were? Again he is of the correct age to be a cousin to my great great grandfather, and possibly a sibling to Lucius Parker whom I previously noted. I realize Parker is a common enough name that I can expect that not all of them in MN are related to me. However I also need to rule that out. Thanks for any help Jo Hogle
