Known Activities
In November 1920, Fredrick W. Parker was named as a defendant in a District Court case filed in Goshen County, Wyoming. The proceedings were initiated by the Chicago Title and Trust Company, acting as trustee, which sought a court order authorizing the sale of real estate in Wyoming that had formerly belonged to the estate of Andrew H. Parker. (Source: torrington-telegram-1920-11-04)
Fredrick was one of five Parker family members listed with a Dundee, Illinois address in the published summons. The others named were Lorenz A. Parker, Louise M. Parker, Dorothy G. Parker, and Lizzie C. Parker. Their relationship to one another and to the deceased Andrew H. Parker is not explicitly stated in the source, though their shared surname and common address strongly suggest a family unit, possibly widow and children or siblings of the deceased.

The fact that a Wyoming trustee was pursuing the matter through a Wyoming court, while the named defendants resided in Illinois, suggests the Parker family had out-of-state property interests — whether inherited, purchased, or acquired through prior residence in Wyoming — that outlasted any direct presence there.
