Known Activities
In November 1920, Lorenz A. Parker was named as a defendant in a legal summons published in the Torrington Telegram (Torrington, Laramie County, Wyoming). The case was brought by the Chicago Title and Trust Company, acting as trustee, and sought a court order for the sale of real estate in Goshen County, Wyoming, formerly belonging to the estate of Andrew H. Parker. (Source: torrington-telegram-1920-11-04)
Four other members of the Parker family were named as co-defendants in the same summons, all sharing a Dundee, Illinois address:
The listing of multiple Parker family members at a shared Dundee address suggests the family was well established in the community by the early 1920s, though the precise nature of their relationships to one another and to the deceased Andrew H. Parker has not been confirmed by sources currently held in this wiki.Timeline

Notes & Uncertainties
- It is not confirmed whether "Dundee, Illinois" in the 1920 source refers specifically to East Dundee or to the broader Dundee township area, which historically encompassed both East and West Dundee.
- The relationship between Lorenz A. Parker and the other named Parker defendants — Fredrick W. Parker, Louise M. Parker, Dorothy G. Parker, and Lizzie C. Parker — has not been established from available sources.
- The connection between the Dundee-based Parkers and the Wyoming real estate interests of Andrew H. Parker's estate is unclear; they may have been heirs, creditors, or otherwise interested parties.
