Biography

Ethel was born August 5, 1883 in Lenora, Kansas, the child of Joseph Parker and Mary DuBois.

In the 1900 census Ethel (age 17) was the single daughter of J C Parker in Marceline Township, Linn, Missouri, United States.^[1]

According to Family Search, Ethel married someone with the surname of King. Her grave memorial page shows her name as Lois Ethel Parker King. Her grave marker only says E King. There are two grave memorials and one of them shows a son George Frederick King (1819-1943), the other does not. Neither memorial has a husband's name but both show her parents and siblings links.

In the 1910 census Lois E. (age 26) and Fred P. King were married and living in School District 1, Yellowstone, Montana, United States. Both were lodgers in the household of John H Vestal. Lois and Fred had a child, Dorothy M. King. The census shows the couple had been married for 2 years, had 1 child and that child was still living.^[2]

In the 1920 census Ethel (age 36) was divorced from Fred and was now head of household in Yellowstone, Montana, United States. She has a second child, she owns the farm, her mother is living with her and her brother George and his family are also on the same census page.^[3]

Lois passed away on March 4, 1956 and was buried in Custer Cemetery, Custer, Yellowstone County, Montana. Find A Grave: Memorial #112161178 . ^[4]
