John Wesley [Pomp] Parker 1854 - 1935 | his parents
& 1884 Emily O Brown 1864 - 1936 | her parents
of Sarem, Gates Co NC

This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!

John Westley [Pomp] Parker 1854 - 1935    buried Parker Cemetery at Sarum
       "operated a general merchandise store and barrell-making partnership with William Eason. Parker was a very unassuming, congenial person, but was well known by the tongue-in-cheek nickname of "Pomp" - Uncle Pomp was also the agent for the RR.
       married 22 Jan 1884 Emily O Brown 1864 - 1936 buried Parker Cemetery at Sarum
