School Notes:
  • History on how Terry Parker was named: Terry Parker( H. Terry Parker) was one of eight children of Annie Terry and and Joseph Hampton Parker, who were close relatives of Governor Treutlen, the first governor of Georgia.
  • His parents were distinguished leaders in their Georgia community near Savannah, in religion, education, and politics. They were highly respected as prosperous individuals, for their lengthy devotion to building Christian character and for encouraging education. They were known for their profound concern for the welfare of their fellow citizens. Mr. Parker's father served for eight years in the Georgia Senate, twelve years in the Georgia legislature, seventeen years on the Board of Education, and fourteen years as a moderator of New Sunbury Association, which included the Savannah district. Several of his brothers became outstanding lawyers and circuit judges in Georgia. Mr. Parker, himself, was president and valedictorian of his graduating class at Union Baptist Institute in Mt. Vernon, Georgia, in 1911, now Brewton-Parker Junior College.
  • Terry Parker was president and valedictorian of his graduating class at Union Baptist Institute in Mt. Vernon, Georgia, in 1911. This school is now Brewton-Parker Junior College.
  • Parker first came to Florida in 1911 to work as assistant cashier in the Bank of Hastings, and three years later acquired a temporary job as bookkeeper for the Farquhar Machinery Company, pending transportation to South America. Parker was vice-president and part owner of the Farquhar Machinery Company when it went for sale in 1944.
  • In 1915, Parker helped develop the Gulf Life Insurance Company, and served on the Board of Directors longer than any other member. He served as trustee on the boards of both the Baptist Memorial Hospital and the Southern Baptist Hospital Association. Mr. Parker, in a life long pursuit to his Christian cause, served on every committee as an extremely dedicated individual.
  • H. Terry Parker exemplified the pure definition of a philanthropist. Among his many contributions, was the Jones Creek Baptist Church. He was responsible for assisting in the building and donation of the modern brick air-conditioned construction at Ludowici, Georgia, in honor of his parents. This donation amounted to a total of $100,000. Prior to that, Parker donated a four apartment building to the Baptist Bible Institute at Graceville, Florida, of which he served as member of the board.
  • The Baptist Home for Children was yet another facility dedicated to Mr. Parker's passion for the less fortunate. He began this endeavor by introducing to the Board of Trustees, a site of 58 acres on Bartram Road. He generously supplied his time and money to whatever need arose in the development of the five dormitories, superintendent's home, swimming pool, auditorium, and other buildings.
  • In 1955, the Parkers deeded thirty acres of their property in Arlington for the erection of a public school in the Duval County area. The Arlington Parent Teachers Association nominated his name to be the school's namesake. In 1958, Parker made a gift of one half the cost of seating and lighting installations at Parker Athletic Field. Sixty red and black wool uniforms were given to Terry Parker Band by Mrs. Parker.
  • Honesty and hard work was one of Mr. Parker's greatest attributes. He would promise huge sums of money to extremely worthy causes, all the while unsure of where the money might come from. His greatest pastime stemmed from exclusively providing for those less fortunate and works with the church and charity. No amount of thanks can convey the gratitude felt for all those affected by Mr. H. Terry Parker's philanthropy.
