6. DYAS FRAZIER5 PARKER (DYAS THOMAS4, WILLIAM3, JAMES2, ?1) was born January 24, 1855 in Salem, Marion Co., Illinois, and died June 10, 1940 in Anna, Union Co., Illinois. He married TALLULA BENSON December 10, 1879 in Graves County, Kentucky, daughter of MARTIN BENSON and NANCY WILLIAMS. She was born December 07, 1861 in Graves County, Kentucky, and died April 01, 1941 in Cairo, Alexander Co., Illinois.Notes for DYAS FRAZIER PARKER: DYAS FRAZIER PARKER As recalled by his daughter, Daisy Parker Marshall He and Robert H. Cunningham came to Fulton, Kentucky about 1876 and opened a dry goods store in the old Paschall Block, the only brick block in town. Mama said the girls certainly did try to see who could catch him but she was a graduate fresh from boarding school and her father the most influential man in the county. They were married a short time after Grandpa died. I don't know just how long they were in business , anyway my step-grandmother re-married so Mama and Papa went out on the farm 6 miles east of Fulton on State Line Road. In the meantime Papa had a flour mill, called The Old Red Mill located on the Illinois Central Railroad track just a short distance on the Tennessee side. Papa spent a fortune on the farm. He had the finest orchard ever heard of in that part of the country, trees you never heard of, also several thoroughbred horses to breed from and fine registered hogs. Well, knowing nothing about any of it, it didn't take him long to lose a good part of it, so he traded it to a man named Latta for a grocery store and moved back to the home place which still (1961) stands in Fulton. He then traded the grocery store for a saw mill. That is when we started moving. We went to Greenfield, Tennessee, and when the best part of the timber was cut we moved on to Sharon, Tennessee. The next move was to Cairo, Illinois, when I was only eleven years old so I wasn't very old when some of these things happened and with only a child's memory but I think this is pretty correct. Papa was a night-watchman for the old Halliday grain elevator for twenty-odd years until it burned one night while he was eating supper getting ready to go to work.

During World War I they had a contract with the U.S. Army to manufacture items of army uniforms.
In 1927 he became a traveling salesman for the Schwanda Company, a button manufacturer. Buttons were also a popular item as many clothes were made at home, especially at this period of time. He was very successful and hard-working and many times his trips lasted from four to six weeks "on the road" with him spending his nights in boarding houses catering to travelling men such as himself. His grandson, John Frederick Marshall, recalls his automobile being loaded down with "sample cases" containing thousands of buttons of all types sold by dry goods stores. . John Manford Marshall is remembered as being a very religious man and attended various churches while on the road. He was also a 32nd Degree Mason and a Knight Templar in that order. His death was by accidental drowning on a fishing trip by himself to Horseshoe Lake near Cairo, Illinois, and he was buried in the family plot in Thistlewood Cemetery at Mounds, Pulaski County, Illinois.
