Robert Hay Nicol was born in Dumfries County, Scotland, December 3, 1825; is a son of David and Agnes Hay Nicol, came to the United States in 1852 and landed in Philadelphia, where he remained a short time and then came to Frankfort, Ky.in the same year, 1852. He was superintendent of the Frankfort Cemetery twenty-three years and is now a dealer in ice, extensively, supplying the city; also has his farm of 300 acres cultivated and has a green-house in which he spends most of his time. He married Henrietta Wright of Scotland, October 21, 1853. She is a daughter of William and Agnes Kirkpatrick Wright, and the mother of four children; James W., Robert C., (who married Cassie Roberts of Franklin County, and has had two children; Henrietta W., and Robert H.) Agness (who married Frank Haff, of New York) and Eleanora. Mr. & Mrs. Nicol are members of the Presbyterian Church. Nicol is industrious, active, energetic and painstaking in whatever he engages, and is very popular with all who know him Source: Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin & Kniffin, 5th red., 1887, Franklin Co. Frankfort Roundabout, Frankfort, Kentucky, February 21, 1891 Our community was shocked yesterday afternoon when the word was passed from mouth to mouth that R. H. Nicol has just died at his residence, about one mile west of the city. He had been in falling health for a year or more, but no one of his many friends in this city thought he was so near death's door. Some six or eight weeks ago he left this city and went to Florida in the hope that he would be benefited, but returned after remaining there only a short while. He was at the time of his death about 65 years of age. He was a loving husband, a kind and affectionate father, and a good Christian gentleman, having joined the First Presbyterian Church of this city a number of years ago. He leaves a wife and four children, together with his many relatives, to mourn his loss. He was for a number of years the keeper of the cemetery, and after resigning the above place has engaged in the ice business. By his energy he had amassed a comfortable competency for his family. His funeral will take place from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock and it will be private. No flowers

Photograph taken of R.H. & S. A. Parker Bible. Bible was owned by Lavinia McDaniel Ward of Abilene, Texas when photo was taken. No one claims to know its present location/ownership. After living in Frankfort a number of years, the family moved to Burlin, Mo., and later to Lexington, Mo., which was before the Civil War. In 1861 the family moved to Texas and located at McKinney, where they lived until 1869, when the family moved to Shreveport, La., where Mr. Parker was in the service of the government. He was a major in the Civil War. After spending some four years in Shreveport the family moved back to the old home in McKinney, Texas, where they remained until they moved to Abilene on Dec. 31, 1883. Abilene was then a village, the town having been organized in March 1881. Upon moving to Abilene, Major Parker became connected with the M. T. Jones Lumber Company, one of the two lumber yards in Abilene at that time. Later on Major Parker established the R. H. Parker Lumber Co. on the property just east of the present homestead, where the Coca Cola Bottling Works plant is located. Major Parker died on Sept. 15, 1896. The old home in which Mrs. Parker died was built in 1885 and has been the home of Mrs. Parker these forty years and during all this time, despite the fact that other members of the family lived there with her, the old home was always Mrs. Parker's home and never lost its identity to other members of the family. Of the twelve children born to Major and Mrs. Parker, eight survive. Those who have gone on before are Joseph Clarke Parker, and three daughters, Mary, Jennie and Roberta. The living children are Mrs. Hallie Adams, Dallas; Mrs. Bettie Kelly, Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Sallie Willis, Abilene; John T. Parker, Hurley, N.M.; Mrs. Maggie Cox, Abilene; Mrs. Lavinia P. McDaniel, Abilene; Mrs. Neva Woodward, Dallas and Mrs. Nellie Jack, Beaumont. The son and Mesdames Jack and Kelly are unable to be here for the funeral. Grandmother of 35. Mrs. Parker was the grandmother of thirty-five grandchildren, of whom twenty-one are living and there are also fourteen great-great grandchildren. Parker was the oldest member of the First Presbyterian church both in years and service and for many years was the teacher of a Sunday School class. Most of her children were reared in a country home, remote from churches, and she taught them the catechism out of her own head and reared her children in the good old fashioned way, adhering to the very strictest rules of Christian living. Parker was always cheerful and no one ever heard her say an unkind remark about anybody. She was friend to all and sought to do all she could to help humanity. Always a worker in the church, she looked forward to the opening of the new First Presbyterian Church and her funeral will be the first to be held in the new edifice. Just one week exactly before she passed away, she visited the church and while there offered a prayer on her knees. She attended church Sunday before last on the last day that the congregation worshiped in the Carnegie Library Auditorium prior to moving into the new church the following week. At the request of Mrs. Parker, Mrs. S. M. Alexander will sing a solo at the funeral service and there will be special numbers by the choir, and it was the requested wish of the deceased that the choir master, Mr. Henry Morgan, preside over the music at her funeral, assisted by Mrs. Jesse Walker. Alexander will sing" Come Thou Disconsolate." Mr. Morgan will sing "Face to Face." Other members of the choir were selected at her request, and some of the songs that will be sung were requested by her. The pall bearers will be eight grandsons, four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Willis and four sons of Mr. George W. McDaniel, John T. Willis of Waco arrived in Abilene this morning and Parker Willis of Wichita Falls came in yesterday. Yancey C. McDaniel, who was out of the city arrived Thursday evening. The other grandsons are George, Robert and Julian McDaniel and Grant and Tom Willis. The present pulpit in the First Presbyterian Church was given to the church 40 years ago by the husband of the deceased, who assisted in construction of a number of the old churches of this section of West Texas. The following obituary for Sallie Ann Clarke Parker, widow of Robert Henry Parker, from the Dallas Morning News, April 11, 1924: MRS. R. PARKER, ABILENE PIONEER, CALLED BY DEATH Special to The News.

The mother died when Sallie was six years old. Later Joseph married a cousin of his first wife. Harriett's father, Charles, and her grandfather, John Julian, were both physicians. They had been educated at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Dr. John Julian (a Revolutionary War physician) had married Margaret Isabelle Lounds of Scotland. Her father and brother were both physicians in Scotland. The Julian family members (known as "St. Julian's in Paris, France), were Huguenots in the home country. They settled in Scotland after the persecution in France, later coming to America and making their home in Virginia. On November 20, 1851, Sallie Clarke became the bride of Robert H. Parker in Frankfort. After living in Frankfort several years, the couple moved to Burlin, Missouri, and later back to Kentucky at Lexington. They they moved to Texas, as stated in Grandpa's sketch. The Parkers reared three grandchildren and an orphan boy, besides their own large family. They were the grandparents of 35 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. Most of their children were reared in a country home, remote from churches in their early years. Grandma taught them the catechism (from memory), and brought them up by the strict rules of Christian living. She had been raised in a Presbyterian home, her father having been an elder in the Kentucky church and her grandfather (Matthew Clarke) likewise before that. She joined the church in Frankfort when she was eleven years of age. Grandma was the oldest member of the First Presbyterian Church at the time of her death APril 9, 1924. She was a Sunday School teacher for many years, and was an active worker in church activities and in the "Ladies Aid Society". Just one week to the day before she died (at age 91) she visited the new church building at 4th and Orange accompanied by Mag and Vene. While there she dropped to her knees and offered a prayer. The previous Sunday she had attended services as usual in the Carnegie Library Auditorium, where the congregation worshipped while the new building was under construction. This was her last attendance at church. Two weeks later her funeral service was in the new church sanctuary - the first to be held there. At her request, favorite songs of hers were sung, and eight grandsons were pall bearers four each from the Willis and McDaniel families. She was buried April 10, 1924, beside the grave of her husband on the family plot near Roberta (her daughter) and Nellie's baby boy. Our Parker grandparents came from good "stock" on both sides. They left us a fine heritage of which we should be proud. Written by Lavinia McDaniel Ward in 1984 for the Parker-Willis reunion in Abilene, Texas
