While thus engaged he commenced the study of medicine which he completed under the instruction of the late Dr. R.D. Mussey, then of Hanover, New Hampshire, but afterwards of Cincinnati and graduated from the medical department of Dartmouth College in 1836.

Some ten years ago he relinquished his professional practice and has since devoted his time chiefly to farming an occupation of which he was always extremely fond. He is also still engaged in business the firm of C.S. Parker & Co, being one of the finest and most extensive dry goods houses in Piqua. His professional record was one of great credit and success He is a gentleman of scholarly attainments great enterprise and public spirit For about fourteen years he was a member of the Piqua city council and for a considerable portion of that time president of that body.

An old line whig in the days of that party he has since been a staunch republican.

He spent a portion of the years of 1872 and 1873 in Europe prosecuting his clinical studies most of the time at Vienna. He has been a medical practitioner in Piqua, since 1865, and has place in the leading rank of his profession.
