CLICK HERE to see picture of William PARKIN and wife Amanda Laurada REED, about 1910.
Bill began the life of a coal miner at the age of nine! He spent most of his life as a coal miner, often in supervisory roles, in Indiana, Jefferson, and Cambria counties in Pennsylvania but did have brief sojourns as a drug store owner, grocerer, and service station operator. He also ran once unsuccessfully for Cambria Co. sheriff. Bill was an exceptional baseball player at 5-11, 205 lbs. of mine-hardened muscle and was offered a professional contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates which he had to decline because the family needed the stability of the money from mining to survive. He is buried in the Lloyd Cemetery in Ebensburg, PA.
