Notes |
- Everett was the 2nd child of Freeman and Ora May Loranger Parker. He was born 14 May 1911 in Yolo County.
As a youth Everett had terrible night mares and often would sleep walk. He and his brothers slept in a screened porch. He would get up in his sleep and walk through the screen and out into the orchard. One day his dad followed him trying to get him back in bed. Everett climbed under the truck, scraping his back. Afraid to shout and startle Everett, Freeman grabbed him by the nightshirt and took him back. When the family went camping, Everett would have to sleep in the back of the tent with all the family sleeping between him and the door. He still managed to step over all of them in his sleep to go for a walk. He had rheumatic fever as a youth and was left with a heart murmur. He also had a stuttering problem when young. He was very active in High School sports, and enjoyed participating in musical and drama productions. As a new husband, Everett worked at a service station in Vacaville when Ron was born, about 1934. He worked on the Central Valley Project during the depression years. When he and Elinor first married they had an almond orchard located west of Esparto, on Highway 16., across from his fathers. In the 40's they moved into town, where he operated a station and did hand-grooved tire recapping. He later built the first Texaco Service Station, and later a Chevron Service Station, on the corner across from Wyatt's store, on the old Hotel site. Ron and Ross picked up many bricks from the old hotel while cleaning up the property. Both boys worked in the Chevron Station and the almond orchard during their high school years. A little kitchen was on one end of the station,where hamburgers were sold. Gasoline, lubrication, tire repair and minor mechanical repair were services offered.
Elinor and Everett moved to the corner of Highway 16 and Main Streets, in the earky 1950's, where they raised almonds, walnuts, and peaches. Everett's last job was as Yolo County Purchasing Agent in Woodland, along with being an almond farmer. He died from chronic Nephritis at age 53. He is buried Capay Cemetary, Esparto, Yolo, CaliforniaHe had been ill for about 3 years. He had been an active member of the local Masonic Order, being a Past Master.
