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.

Hungry Holloow is about 5 miles north of Capay in Yolo County. 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.

Albert Rose Nurse and Carolyn Mae Clark met and fell in love in 1904. He was assigned to work on the Tisdale Wier in Colusa where Carrie lived and worked as a dress maker. He was grieving over the death of his first wife, Minnie Duncan and their two little children. Carrie, according to their friends, brought out the best in Albert Rose and made him happy and positive. They married in 1905. They were a happy, loving, supporting couple. The first 4 children were born in Sacramento, Elwood in 1906, Ashley in 1908, Lucille in 1910, and Elinor in 1912. Rose was a conductor on the streetcar for the Sac'to Gas, Electric, and Railway Co. In January 1913 the family moved to the ranch in Cadenasso, where Rose grew up and three more children were born, Forrest in 1913, Norma in 1914, and Audrey in 1917. Rose and Carolyn Nurse lived and raised their children on the 160 acre ranch inherited from his mother. They raised cattle, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and grain. There were also almonds, walnuts, and peaches. The ranch at Cadenasso included the house where Rose was born and was near the Cadanesso school.

When their children were still quite young, Rose Nurse lost his eyesight due to eyelashes that grew back into his eyes, irritating them. He could no longer work and earn a living for the family. The girls would take tweezers and pull out his eyelashes. He would often be heard whistling or singing. He was a gentle man and loved all the babies and little ones. He would often say, "Isn't that the cutest baby you have ever seen." His children took turns reading to him, and providing for his needs.

They were poor financially, but a happy, loving cooperative family. Carrie played the piano, mainly hymns. Rose played the violin and could chord and play with her by ear. The children would sing to the music. The children were never spanked. The parents were always supportive with positive guidance. If the children needed disciplining, they were sent to the bedroom and told not to come out until there was a smile on their face. If it was only half of a smile, they were sent back until the smile was full and real.
The land was reposessed by Roy Wyatt after a fire in 1938 burned down the house with Rose Nurse in it. Elinor Parker, their daughter, tells the story about the fire as follows: "She was on her way to stay with her parents. She stopped at the Monroe ranch to drop off something. Everett found her there and told her there was trouble at the ranch. He took her to the ranch. Someone stopped her at the gate and told her she couldn't go to the house because her dad was gone. Her mother was sittin there by the gate in a chair and said, 'I don't mean to be rebellious, but why did this have to happen to us?' Audrey and Elwood were still living at home at the time, but Elwood had gone on a date and Audrey had gone to Fort Bragg.. After the fire, Carrie, Audrey, and Elwood stayed at the Monroe ranch until after the funeral. They then rented a small house on Court Street in Woodland until after Audrey and Jim were married. Then Carrie lived with them until she moved to Alderson's Convelescent Hospital. Rose and Carrie had a $6000 balance owed on account in Wyatt's general store. Carrie had no income and no money to repay the balance owed, and neither did any of her children since it was during the great depression. So the land went to Roy Wyatt to satisfy the $6000 debt. The property was later sold for $69,000.
