The post office took apart city directories and added 5 blank lined pages which they wrote the names of the people who had mail forwarded and the date it was forwarded then put the books back together about an inch thick so each year may have 10 books. There was a ; between W.O. and Mrs. so that means both people moved to Tacoma. He was not listed after 1912 in our city directories. I did check the obit file for Spokane, and while it is no where near complete, but no William Parker and none listed in the WA Death index for Spokane.
