 Anmerkung |
John, II, was born in his father's home near the mouth of Sewickley Creek, near West Newton, Westmoreland Co., PA. He was educated in the schools of WestNewton and at Reagantown. He assisted his mother in the conduct of her store at Reagantown. In February, 1869, he and his brother-in-law, James B. Smith, opened a store in Scottdale, then known as Fountain Mills. In 1881 Mr. Smith withdrew and S. B. McMillen and George C. Parker became members of the firm. In 1884, Mr. McMillen retired and the firm was changed to J. S. Parker &Bro. and remained so until 1896 when it was changed to J. S. Parker & Co. They began business in a small way; first, in a building on the corner of Pittsburgh and Chestnut streets, then at the corner of Pittsburgh and Spring streets which location they occupied for years, the old building being enlarged from time to time to accommodate the growing business. In 1903 the old building was torn down and a new modern three story building was erected. The two lower floors were occupied by the store and four modern apartments made upthe top floor. Mr. Parker was an energetic and active business man of Scottdale and took a deep interest in any new enterprise that would aid the business of the town. He was a stockholder in the Scottdale Iron and Steel Co. andwas interested in the Pipe Mill and Machine Company. In 1901 he was one of the promoters, and became a director of, the Scottdale Savings & Trust Co., and in 1905 was elected President of that company. He built one of the first houses erected in Scottdale. He was a member and director of the Presbyterianchurch and remained active in business until death. |
