MORS ABOUT
Parsons
(Continued From Page One)
1909, with Duke Power Company,
shortly after he was married to
Miss Mattle Hunter, In Lincoln
ton. He operated the Duke sub
station here, until tendered the
city post by the administration of
1919, which included A. E. Cline,
as mayor, Ed Barnes, VV. S. Dill
ing, and W. P. Fulton as council
members.
Mr. Parsons was somewhat re
luctant to leave the Duke Com
pany, and admits that he placed
his acceptance figure higher than
he thought the city would pay. A
day later he was asked, "When
can you go to work?"
Then the fuji began. The city's
finances were puny and only a
few water customers were meter
ed. But a friend w>as In the elec
tric supply business and extended
sufficient credit, on the Parsons
signature, for a standing two
case meter order each month.
Furnishing water to citizens call*
ed for extra duty, too, in those
years. The water supply came
from wells off Cherryvllle Road
at what is now known as the "old
water tank". To see that custo
mers were supplied, Mr. Parsons
had to roll out of bed $t 4 a. m.,
go to the wells and start the
pumps. His means of transporta
tion were his feet, until he decid
ed to try bicycle transportation.
But that didn't work too well,
and he dispensed with the bicycle.
In 1929, Mr. Parsons had the
pleasure of superintendening the
opening of the modern water
plant that serves the city today.
In 1919, the number of city
employees in the public works
department was two, Mr. Parsons
and Jim Able, his Negro helper.
In 1921, Freeland Tidwell and C.
L. Fulton joined the city force. !
In 1923. the main street power
lines were moved behind the busi
ness establishments.
Generally speaking, Mr. Par
sons has filled about every capa
city in the public works field
during his. service to the city. He
has clipped power lines near
burning buildings, superintended
the laying, of sewer and water
lilies, the paving of streets, power
installations, and 'served for
many years as building, plumbing j
and electrical inspector..
Mr. and Mrs. Parsons have two |
children, a daughter, Mrs. Vir
ginia- Parsons Rosenthal, of ?
Heasantvitle. New York, and a;
son. Dr. Jack Parsons, of Lum- j
be.rton . They have four grand- 1
children, three boys and a girl, j
They are members of First pres- I
byteriai\ church.
