Known Activities

According to a legal summons published in the Torrington Telegram (Torrington, Laramie County, Wyoming) on November 4, 1920, Lizzie C. Parker was named as a defendant in a District Court case in which the Chicago Title and Trust Company, acting as trustee, sought a court order authorizing the sale of real estate located in Goshen County, Wyoming, formerly belonging to the estate of Andrew H. Parker. (Source: torrington-telegram-1920-11-04)

Lizzie C. Parker's address at the time of the summons was recorded as Dundee, Illinois. She was one of five Parker family members — alongside Fredrick W. Parker, Lorenz A. Parker, Louise M. Parker, and Dorothy G. Parker — all sharing the same Dundee address and all named as defendants in the same proceeding. (Source: torrington-telegram-1920-11-04)

The nature of her relationship to the deceased, Andrew H. Parker, is not specified in the available source, though her inclusion alongside the other defendants suggests a familial connection, possibly as a spouse, widow, or close relative. This remains unconfirmed without additional documentation.

The Parker family's involvement in real estate holdings as far away as Goshen County, Wyoming, suggests connections extending well beyond the Dundee area, though the origins and extent of those holdings are not addressed in currently available sources.
