Reference: Gideon [1901:694-5]: "Professor Gabe E. Parker is a young man who has attained exceptional prominence in educational circles. Although only twenty-three years of age he is now principal of the Armstrong Academy and has done much to improve this school and promote its efficiency. He was born in Towson county, in the Choctaw nation, in 1878, and is a son of J. C. Parker, a farmer and stock-raiser. Although reared on his father's farm Gave E. Parker has spent the greater part of his life in the schoolroom as a student and teacher. After acquiring his preliminary education, in 1894 he entered the Henry Kendall College of Muskogee, Indian Territory, and was the graduated in the class of 1899, with the honors of his class, on the completion of the five years course. With a view of entering the teacher's profession eh studied for one session in Kansas State Normal, at Emporia. He was then appointed principal of Spencer Academy, at Nelson, Indian Territory, for the school year of 1899 and 1900, and in September of the latter year he became principal of Armstrong Academy, the boys' school of the Choctaw nation. This is an old and famous institution supported by the Choctaw government, and in the position Professor Parker is giving entire satisfaction. The academy is pleasantly situated in the county twelve miles from Caddo, and is a well-equipped school, doing and excellent work for the boys of the nation along the line of intellectual training. Professor Parker is an educator of high ability, thoroughly interested and conscientious in his efforts to make Armstrong an institution of the highest grade. He sets about his work with enthusiasm and is now thoroughly conversant with every department and detail of the work of the school.
     Professor Parker finds in his wife an able assistant. He married Miss Beth George, a daughter of John B. and Louisa (Benedict) George, natives of Michigan, who resided in Topeka, Kansas, for several years and are now residents of California. Mrs. Parker acquired her preliminary education in the public schools of Topeka and subsequently entered the Washburn College at that place. Subsequently she spent three years as a student in Henry Kendall College, at Muskogee, Indian Territory, where she was graduated in 1899, being a classmate of her husband, to who she was married on Christmas day of 1900. During the year 1899 and 1900 she was one of the teachers in Spencer Academy near Nelson. She is a very accomplished lady of broad culture and intelligence and is a leader in social circles. her splendid womanly qualities have market influence over the boys of the school and to her husband she is indeed a faithful and competent helpmeet. Professor Parker's nobility of character and his adherence to the highest ideals win for him distinction in the educational world." in 1901 at Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory (now OK), USA.⁹ Gabriel "Gabe" Edward Parker Sr. was Register of the Treasury - newspaper seen in the Chillicothe Morning Constitution, Vol. XXII, No. 78, p. 1, column 3. on 3 August 1913 at Washington, D. C., District of Columbia, USA.¹⁰

Reference: from the Chicago Eagle, 23 Jan 1915 (article seen on Find A Grave): "Animated by a sense of his own people, the Indian race, and especially to the Choctaw nation, which contributed from tribal funds to pay for his education in the public Indian schools of Indian territory, Gabe E. Parker, appointed by the president commissioner of the Five Civilized tribes, takes up those duties with the anxiety and hope to advance the interests and welfare of those intrusted to his charge. Muskogee, Okla., is his headquarters.
     Mr. Parker is one-eighth Indian. His mother was one-wuarter Choctaw. His father, a Kentuckian, owned a ranch in Indian territory, near Fort Towsen, now in southeast Oklahoma, where Gabe E. Parker was born September 29, 1878. He has one brother and two sisters.
     The country schoolhouse, an Indian school for the children of the Choctaw nation, provided him with the rudiments of his education. Later he went to Spoencer academy, also an Indian institution of learning. He obtained his degree as a bachelor of science fro9m Henry Kendall college. Two things stand out in his memory of college days: That he met his wife, who was a fellow student; that he closed his course as valedictorian of his class, graduating with the highest honors in 1899.
     The death of his mother diverted him from the study of law, and he returned as an assistant teacher to Spencer academy after his graduation, and in three months was made principal teacher. After a year of teaching there, in 1900 he was transferred as principal to Armstrong academy, another Indian institutions, and in 1904 was superintendent. He was occupying this post when called to Washington to become register of the treasury.
     Mr. Parker is a thirty-second degree Mason and a Shriner. He owns a large ranch in Oklahoma." on 23 January 1915.²

Reference: from Benedict [1922:III:p unknown]:
     "Actuated at all times by high ideals having to do with all of the duties and relations of life and particularly in connection with the Choctaw and other civilized tribes of what was once the Indian Territory, Gabe Edward Parker of Muskogee has left the impress of his individuality and ability in large measure upon the history of this section. He retired from the office of superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes on the 31st of May, 1921, and is now concentrating his efforts and attention upon the management of private business interest, being the president of the Muskogee Ice Cream Company.
     Oklahoma numbers Gabe Edward Parker among her native sons, his birth having occurred at Fort Towson, Choctaw county, September 29, 1878, his parents being John clay and Eliza Emily (Willis) Parker. The father was born in Boyle county, Kentucky, and was descended from English, Scotch-Irish and French Huguenot ancestry. He belonged to a wealthy and prominent family but his fortune was lost during the period of the Civil war and he made his way westward to retrieve his lost possessions. In the Indian Territory he met and wedded Miss Eliza Emily Willis, a quarter-blood Choctaw Indian, who was born at Fort Towson in the same house in which occurred the birth of Mr. Parker of this review. She was a lady of liberal culture and education and was a teacher in the Choctaw schools, in which her son, Gabe E., receiving his early training. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Parker became parents of nine children, but only four are living: Gabe E., James W., Lucile and Georgia. The family home was established on a ranch near Nelson, Oklahoma, when Gabe E. Parker was but a year and a half old. There the father became a prominent stockman and agriculturist and both he and his wife continued to reside on the old homestead until called to their final rest. Their son, James W., is still on the farm, having the management of the ranch. He wedded Edna Reed and they have become parents of two children. The daughter Lucile is employed in Washington, D. C., and Georgia makes her home with her brother.
     Mr. Parker acknowledges a considerable indebtedness to the Choctaws for his education as they contributed the tribal funds to defray his college expenses. He attended Spencer Academy, from which he was graduated in 1894 and then became a student in Henry Kendall College, then at Muskogee but now at Tulsa, in which he won the Bachelor of Science degree and was also valedictorian of his class, that of 1899. It was his early ambition to become a member of the bar but owing to his mother’s death he did not carry out his plans of preparing for the legal profession. Instead, after attending the Kansas State Normal School for a term, he accepted the position of assistant teacher at the Spencer Academy in the fall of 1899. Three months later he was advanced to the position of superintendent of that school and there remained until the academy was destroyed by fire in July, 1900. In the fall of that year he was transferred to Armstrong Academy, a school for Choctaw boys, remaining as principal teacher and in July 1904, becoming superintendent of the institution. He was filling the position in September, 1913, when he received appointment to the office of registrar of the United States treasury at Washington, D. C., there entering upon his duties on the 1st of October. He remained in the national capital until December 31, 1914, when he resigned his position, having been appointed on the 22nd of the same month as superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes, taking up the duties of this office on the 1st of January, 1915. Two weeks later the Long Branch Daily Record wrote of him as follows: “Through the devious trail of politics Gabe E. Parker, a one-eighth blood Choctaw Indian, has just achieved the ambition of his life. Without solicitation or even knowledge on his part he was taken from the principal ship of an Indian boys’ school in Oklahoma and made registrar of the United States treasury. Mr. Parker gave up his chosen work – that of helping his own people to become competent, self-reliant, contributing men and women – only after a struggle. Now he is about to return to Oklahoma as superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes, with broader opportunity than ever before to accomplish the task he had originally set for himself. The job Mr. Parker goes to fill in Oklahoma is a big one. It involves the welfare of one hundred and two thousand Indians of the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole and Cherokee tribes, who desire to become citizens in fact as well as in name. Under the constitution of Oklahoma they are citizens of the state. They are wards of the nation so long as the government retains a control in trust of the fifteen million acres of their land, including the richest oil fields of the world and four hundred and fifty thousand acres of coal and asphalt lands. Mr. Parker’s job is to carry out the policies of the present administration and to discharge into full and complete citizenship as many of these one hundred and two thousand Indians as are ready for the change, or may become under his direction. This policy is a new one, and, in a sense, a revolutionary one in view of the policy of the government pursued up to this time. Mr. Parker promises to approach it cautiously. If enthusiasm for the work at hand is an asset Mr. Parker is one of the best equipped men for his new job that could be found anywhere. He exudes it and with difficulty tries to suppress it, but it is there. Mr. Parker believes in his people. He believes in the government of the nation and the state and in their intentions toward them. He designed he seal of the great state of Oklahoma, which symbolizes the ‘sisterhood of states’ and intermingles the former seals of Oklahoma territory and of the Five Civilized Tribes of the Indian territory. He is known as ‘Great Seal’ Parker for his achievement. He served on many important committees in the constitutional convention of Oklahoma with special reference to the Indians, the schools and taxation, and declined to enter politics when his work was through. As between the two phases of the Indian question, the personal and the property phases, Mr. Parker desires to emphasize the personal as preeminently important. As a school teacher he was deeply interested in solving problems which would bring his charges to a full and complete realization of the responsibilities of citizenship, and he endeavored to give them such a practical application of their book learning as would accomplish that purpose. Mr. Parker is a man whose earnestness of purpose sticks out of every word and deed. The policy of this administration toward his people is his policy became he believes in it. Whether right or wrong, it is certain to have a genuine test under his administration in Oklahoma.”
The above was written at the outset of his work as superintendent. His labors in this particular measured up to the highest standards and won him high encomium from the tribesmen and from the general public. His work was far-reaching beneficial and resultant and he continued in the office until the 31st of May, 1921.
     Mr. Parker was married December25, 1900, to Miss Louise Elizabeth George, a native of Topeka, Kansas, who had been his classmate at Spencer Academy and who was later a teacher in that institution. Mr. and Mrs. Parker have one son, Gabe E., Jr. Since his retirement from the office, Mr. Parker has given his entire attention to the management of an important business enterprise known as the Muskogee Ice Cream Company, of which he is president and general manager. He also has farming and stock raising interest and is likewise financially interested in banks of the state. Fraternally he is a Mason, who has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish-Rite and has become a member of the Mystic Shrine. He has always voted with the democratic party and has ever been thoroughly informed concerning the vital questions and issues before the public. His religious belief is that of the Presbyterian church and his life has been actuated by the highest principles and ideals. His labors have been most wisely and conscientiously directed along lines leading to public progress and improvement for those of Indian birth and parentage and for the entire public as well. The worth of his wok is widely acknowledged and he is today one of the most honored and valued residents of Oklahoma." in 1922.⁴

     Dr. John Purdue Gray Sr., M. D. was born on 6 August 1825 at Half Moon Township, Centre Co., Pennsylvania, USA.^3,4 He married Mary Buckminster Wetmore on 6 September 1854.^4,1

Dr. John Purdue Gray Sr., M. D. died on 29 November 1886 at age 61; from Find A Grave:
     Birth:      Aug. 6, 1825, Centre County, Pennsylvania, USA
     Death:      Nov. 29, 1886, USA
     John P. Gray was a formidable leader in forensic American psychiatry during the second half of the 19th century. He often served as a forensic psychiatrist and was the editor of The AJI for 32 years where he had a ready avenue to express his views. He was President of The Superintendents’ Association from 1883 to 1884.
     Gray was born in Halfmoon, Pennsylvania, attended Dickinson College as an undergraduate, and received his medical training at The University of Pennsylvania in 1848. He was a resident at the public Blockley Asylum in Philadelphia and later taught at the medical school. In 1850, he moved to the Utica (NY) State Hospital as a junior physician and became Hospital Superintendent in 1854, remaining in this post until his death.
     Gray was a strong believer that mental illness was due to physical causes that could be found in the brain, as opposed to the long-standing belief that mental illness was due to 'moral' causes. In 1870, Gray added a pathologist to his staff in Utica, the first American asylum to do so.
     In 1881, President James A. Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau. Brought to trial, the major question was whether Guiteau was sane or insane (which would avoid the death penalty). The prosecution and defense each assembled prominent psychiatrists and neurologists to testify on their points. Gray was a major and strong witness for the prosecution that Guiteau was sane. Guiteau was hanged, but many later psychiatrists believed he was insane.
     Gray himself was shot by a mentally ill person soon after the Guiteau trial and later succumbed to his wounds.
