Parker Memorial Cemetery

The first burial here is thought to have been Christina Driskill, who died in 1862, on land owned by her son-in-law Isaac Green Parker. In 1881 Parker's widow, Mary (Polly) Parker Turner, deeded the 4.31-acre plot for a public burial ground. A tabernacle erected in 1928 was first used for funeral services and later for meetings of the cemetery association. Formerly known as Clements Cemetery, it was renamed Parker in 1937, and many members of the Pleasant Glade Community are buried here.
