Parker Genealogy has made a special edition booklet with past pictures of our once thriving community. They are asking that you check your family albums, for pictures that you would share-they look forward to making a 2nd booklet. The 1st edition is now available, contact a member to get your copy. Should you be looking for a lost obituary, they might have a copy.

The Linn County Library District No. 1 has moved into their beautiful new building located on Main Street, here in Parker. They are working on the landscape, and should be setting the flag pole honoring Millie Burk. The library will be open Saturday, April 28th; 1pm to 4pm for all who wish to stop by and enjoy all the items available. They will continue to use the old building for the summer reading program. They also plan to make available to the community as a meeting room for township meetings, and to also provide a meeting room that is not always available to patrons in need of a space.
