PAUL S. PARKER, D. D. S.
A leading member of the dental profession in Minneapolis is Dr. Paul S. Parker,
who was born at River Falls, Wisconsin, on the 5th of January, 1889, a son of
Marco L. and Mary Jane (Eads) Parker. The Parker family is one of America's
oldest and most honored families. Progenitors of the family in this country came
here in 1703 and one of the direct ancestors of Dr. Parker served in the patriot
army throughout the Revolutionary war. Charles Durham Parker, born in 1827, and
his wife, Angeline Southworth, born in 1830, are living in River Falls,
Wisconsin.

two-year course in the engineering department of the University. Immediately
after graduation he established offices in the Donaldson building for the
practice of his chosen profession and in 1919 he moved into the LaSalle

foremost dentists in the city. From June 15, 1918, to the 27th of December,
1918, he was in the United States Army Dental Corps and there received a first

On the 10th of July, 1918, occurred the marriage of Dr. Parker to Miss Jane B.
Cooley, and to their union one daughter, Mary Louise, has been born. Mrs. Parker

the republican party and the principles for which it stands. Although he has
never sought nor desired public preferment, he is actively interested in party
councils, and is ever cognizant, of the duties and responsibilities as well as

No. 176, F. & A. M. During his college days he became affiliated with Delta
Sigma Delta fraternity and he is likewise a member of Cable Tow fraternity.

Dental Society. He was secretary of this body for some three years and was its
president from the 1st of May, 1922, to the 1st of May, 1923.
