place, now retired. Spencer Parker received his education in the public schools of his native town, and later attended
the Chamberlain Institute and Female College at Randolph, N. Y., from which he was graduated in 1883 and at once
began the study of law in the offlee of Judge William H. Henderson, at Randolph. In 1885 he entered the Albany
Law School and was graduated with honors in 1886. and soon afterward removed to Salamanca, N. Y., where he was
engaged in legal practice with Judge O. S. Vreeland until the spring of 1887, at which time he was admitted to
the bar of the State of New York. In the fall of the same year he returned to his home at Versailles. and from
that time until 1892 taught in the public schools at that place. He then removed to Niagara Falls and formed a
partnership with William J. Bryan, with whom he continued to practice law until 1893, when the partnership was
dissolved and since that time he has successfully practiced alone. In 1896 Mr. Parker was elected police lustice
of Niagara Falls, but resigned that position early in 1897, as it interfered with his practice of law. June 14,
1887, he married Emma C. Owen of Randolph, and they have one child, Alan Vreeland.
