James Edward PARKER Sr., was a Texas "oil man" (millionaire) born est 1900 in Texas. He had divorced and possibly remarried again and was a resident of Miami, Dade co, FL in March 1940 when his 16 yr old son, James (Jimmy) Edward PARKER, Jr. died on 10 Mar 1940 in an automobile accident in Van Zandt county, Texas. Would there be an article in the Miami newspaper about the tragic death of the son of James E. PARKER, Sr.? I'm trying to find out if the father continued living in Miami and if James E. PARKER Sr. died in Miami. His daughter, Lawanda PARKER is said to have married a ROEBLING. There are two James PARKERS listed in the ssdi: James PARKER born 10 Dec 1898 died Dec 1977 ss# 263-07-0335 FL; Residence: Miami, Dade co, Fl 33136; and ssdi: James PARKER born 11 May 1897 died Dec 1972 ss# 267-24-0891 FL; Residence: Dade co, Fl 33030.
