To clarify info on Walter E. Parrott...
W.E. Parrott DOB 12/1861 in Oregon. Parents: Joseph and Elenor (Fish)
Parrott. Sister: Jessie Mae White, Yakima, WA. Parrot farmed an island
located at the mouth of the Stikine River. He died at Wrangell, Alaska in
1928 and is buried in the cemetery there, although his grave is unmarked.
Information is from my personal research (having lived in Wrangell for 16
years) and his death certificate (which was passed on to someone on this
list group some time ago.) I can tell you more about the man if you are
interested.
