The Frederick Parker
Place.
The Frederick Parker place is the next in order, with a large, square,
two-story house upon the left of the
road with a fine lawn in front. The barn, now gone, stood on the opposite
side of the road. Just when this
house was built is not known to the writer, but it was probably as early as
1820.

The farm connected with the house and barn extended on both sides of the
main road for some distance,
and was probably the farm of Robert Parker, Frederick's father, who came to
Bluehill, Maine from Andover,
Massachusetts, about 1765.

Frederick Parker was a farmer and a worthy man. He and his family were well
known to this writer
(Rufus G. F. Candage) in his youth. After his death the place was sold to
Fred A. Fisher, and was
occupied some years by Rev. Tripp, a Baptist clergyman. It lay idle after
that until bought and put in
repair by Mrs. Kline of Cleveland, Ohio, whose sister and family used it for
a summer home.
End.
