Freeman was an almond farmer and an expert in grafting and care of trees. He had an ulcer and had to drink goat's milk, so he kept a pet goat that went everywhere with them. When he went to the beach house at Dillon Beach, which he built in about 1917, He tied the goat on the running board. On one trip the goat fell off and the children had to chase him down. Many fishing trips were made up on the rocks, 'poke-poling' for eel. At home, Freeman had a wine cellar underground behind the garage that had to be entered by a ladder. It had wine barrells with a hose on a spigot. Friends would come by and take a swig out of the hose. Lois heard them talking about it and one day decided to try it. She ended up in an apple tree singing at the top of her voice. She got a spanking for her escapade. Freeman died at age 76 on his ranch, at the old pump house. Everett found his father, after he had been reported 'missing'. Freeman and brother Gene, bought almond orchards, approximately 1905, NW of Esparto. Everett bought Lou Chinn's house up the road and piped water under highway to get water from Freeman's to his orchard. Freeman had arthritis in his hands and would put his hands under an ozone lamp. He had an enlarged heart, and may well have suffered from prostate related complications, in his old age. 1880 United States Federal Census Name: Freeman Parker Home in 1880: East Cottonwood and Fairview, Yolo, California Age: 6 Estimated birth year: abt 1874 Birthplace: California Relation to head-of-household: Son Father's name: John Father's birthplace: OH Mother's name: Sarah Mother's birthplace: OH Occupation: At School Marital Status: Single Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age John Parker 41 Sarah Parker 39 Durward Parker 16 Jennie Parker 12 Luella Parker 10 Freeman Parker 6 Eugene Parker 3 William Parker 23 (cousin to John) 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Freeman Parker Home in 1900: Fairview, Yolo, California Age: 26 Estimated birth year: abt 1874 Birthplace: California Relationship to head-of-house: Son Father's name: John Mother's name: Sarah Race: White Household Members: Name Age John Parker 61 Sarah Parker 59 Mary Parker 27 Freeman Parker 26 farm labor Albert Parker 14 Leta Parker 13 John Parker 8 Joshua Hays 39 1910 United States Federal Census Name: Freeman M Parker Age in 1910: 36 Estimated birth year: abt 1874 Birthplace: California Relation to Head of House: Head Father's Birth Place: Iowa Mother's Birth Place: Iowa Spouse's name: Ora M Home in 1910: Capay, Yolo, California Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age Freeman M Parker 36 Ora M Parker 25 Ervin B Parker 6/12 World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Name: Freeman Major Parker County: Yolo State: California Birth Date: 14 Dec 1873 Occupation: Orchardist Tall, Slender, Brown eyes, Black hair Next of Kin: Mrs. Ora Parker Race: White FHL Roll Number: 1544472 1920 United States Federal Census Name: Freemon M Parker [Freeman M Parker] Home in 1920: Esparto, Yolo, California Age: 46 years Estimated birth year: abt 1874 Birthplace: California Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's name: Osa M Father's Birth Place: Iowa Mother's Birth Place: Iowa Marital Status: Married Race: White Sex: Male Home owned: Own Able to read: Yes Able to Write: Yes Image: 296 Household Members: Name Age Freemon M Parker 46 Osa M Parker 33 Crvin B Parker 10 Everett F Parker 8 Chester D Parker 3 4/12 1930 United States Federal Census Name: Freeman Parker Home in 1930: Esparto, Yolo, California Age: 56 Estimated birth year: abt 1874 Birthplace: California Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's name: Ora May Race: White Occupation: Farmer, Orchardist, Military Service: no Age at first marriage: 35 Household Members: Name Age Freeman Parker 56 Ora May Parker 45 Irvin B Parker 20 Everett Parker 18 Chester Parker 13 Lois Parker 8 SS death index.-PARKER FREEMAN MAJOR 12/14/1873 DILLON PARKER M CALIFORNIA YOLO buried in Capay Cemetary, Esparto, Yolo, California
