Frederick Dalton Parker Leaves $15,000 Estate
Frederick Dalton Parker, who died December 12, leaving an estate valued at $15,000, and whose will was filed in the superior curt yesterday for probate, devised $30 a month to every child who may be born to either of his two brothers, Erol and William R. Parker.
The remainder of the estate was given away in small monthly allowances to various relatives. The will was made the day of Parker’s death, when he apparently was too weak to sign his name and so made his mark.

Anti-Race Suicide Gifts
Frederick D. Parker, who died in this city, the 12th inst., aged 35, was evidently a believer in the Rooseveltian theory that it is the duty of married folks to multiply and replenish the earth, to judge by his will filed for probate yesterday. The instrument was executed the same day that he died.
The chief asset of the Parker estate is stock of the Hawthorne Water Company, valued at $39,700, and this is left in trust for the benefit of the relatives of the testator, with Oscar J. Drum and Edward M. Lyon, as trustees, who are to hold the property for twenty-five years, and then turn over the stock or its equivalent in money to the two brothers of Parker.
A number of his relatives are remembered with gifts of from $25 to $30 a month during the life of the trust. Orrel Parker, a brother, of New York, is to be given $20 a month, and to his wife $30 a month is bequeathed for each child that is born to the couple. He also provides that another brother, William R. Parker of this city, be given $30 a month and, if he marries, that much additional is to be paid to each child born of the union. It is further provided that $100 shall be paid to Charles B. Boutwell, secretary of the class of 1886 of Princeton University, for the benefit of the organization.
