Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark July 6, 1919

George W. Parker, Sr., 82 years old, a Confederate veteran, died yesterday 
evening at 8:20 o'clock, at the home of his son George W. Parker,  507 Lee 
street.
Mr. Parker was wounded in the right knee, but despite this he remained until the 
surrender at Appomattox, returned home and took up the broken threads which had 
been rent by the war and started life anew.
He was a native of Berkley and was perhaps its oldest citizen.  His widow died 
about eleven years ago, since which time he had made his home with his son.
 He is survived by an only son, Captain G.W. Parker and several grandsons and 
granddaughters.
He was a charter member of Chesapeake tribe No. 50, Red Men.  There is only one 
of the charter members still living.
The funeral arrangements will be announced later.
