FRED B. PARKINSON.

    Fred B. Parkinson, an optometrist, who has engaged in practice in Logan for
a period of five years, was born at Pilot Rock, Oregon, January 8, 1887, a son
of Dr. William B. Parkinson, of Logan, mentioned elsewhere in this work. His
mother was a daughter of Ezra Taft Benson, one of the first apostles of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Logan.

    Dr. Parkinson of this review, after completing a course in the public
schools of Logan, attended the Brigham Young College for two years and later
supplemented his education by attending the Northern Illinois College of
Ophthalmology & Otology, from which he was graduated with the class of 1914. He
was thus well qualified by thorough scientific training for professional duties
and entered upon practice in Logan, where he has since remained. He has made
steady progress along the line of his chosen life work and is now accorded an
extensive patronage. He belongs to the Utah Optometrists Association, of which
he is one of the vice presidents, and also to the American Optical Association.
He is a prominent young professional man who within a short time has built up a
fine practice.

    In 1908 Dr. Parkinson was married to Miss Edna Blair, a daughter of S. A.
Blair, of Ogden. In social circles of the city they occupy an enviable position,
having many friends here. Dr. Parkinson belongs to the Commercial Boosters Club
and is keenly interested in everything that has to do with the welfare, progress
and prosperity of Logan, cooperating heartily in all plans and measures for the
general good.
