Roy, Do you have any information on Robert Henry Parks, born about 1872 in Arkansas? He married Rose Myrtle Gore of Lynnville, Warrick, Indiana on 24 Nov 1909 (don't know where). The family lived in Okmulgee, Oklahoma in 1912, when their only child, Norvell Deloss Parks, was born. Robert had a blacksmith shop in Okmulgee, but later moved to Checotah, Oklahoma, where he evidently took up farming. They moved in 1920 to Howell County, Missouri where they had a farm between Peace Valley and White Church. By 1928 they had moved to North Hollywood, California, where they lived with Rose's parents for several years. Rose died in 1928. After Norvell was on his own, Robert may have gone to Texas. There were possibly relatives in Weatherford, Parker, Texas. Robert died sometime in the 1950s in Pocatello, Idaho, having lived with son Norvell and his wife in his later years. The 1920 census listing in Missouri says Robert's father was born in Tennessee and his mother in Arkansas. Any help much appreciated. Judy Damewood
