[or-roots] Elk City

[Kith-n-Kin]

Sally

Walter Parks was kin! My great-grandmother was Charlotte (Lottie) Parks Reed Palmer (m Henry Laramie
Palmer). Her father was George Ballard W Parks, whose brother, Charles Rice Parks moved to Elk City. C R's
son, Leander (who married Queen Victoria Franklin) had a son, Walter Nelson Parks, who married Mary Eva
Sanders (he was born in 1894, to get a date here). They then had a son, Walter Nelson Jr., who married
Mary Ford.

I don't know which of these were your GPs neighbors, but certainly one or the other.

Small world, isn't it?

The reason I responded as I did is that parts of my family DID live in Elk City.

 Hi Pat, My grandparents lived in Elk City, RJ and Faye Gilstrap. They had neighbors Walt and mary Parks.
That valley was one big family when it came to helping one another you could always count on your
neighbors. Sally
