There is an L.R. Parker buried in the Simmons [aka Little Elm or Oscar]
Cemetery near the community of Oscar, Bell Co, TX. This community is about
5 miles ESE of Temple, TX. Information from the headstone is:

L. R. Parker b. 1 Jun 1837, d. 4 Dec 1893

There are no other Parker's in the cemetery that we could find.
