J J Parker’s Store in Lasker NC [an old post card]
“The J J Parker Store, it is said, had everything a person would want or need including a much prided Millinery Department where a lady could choose a basic hat and also choose the accessories with which it was to be decorated. The hat would be fixed while she waited or did some other shopping in another department.”

This may be a second marriage for both Elisha and Mildred.
