Charles H. Parker
Charles H. Parker (November 16, 1814 - March 3, 1890) was an American cutler, machinist and manufacturer of reapers from Beloit, Wisconsin, who served on the city council and as mayor of that city, and on the Rock County board of supervisors and spent three terms as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from Rock County, first as a Republican and later as a Greenbacker.〔("Members of the Wisconsin Legislature 1848–1999 State of Wisconsin Legislative Bureau.

== Background ==
Parker was born in Newton, Massachusetts on November 16. 1814, and received a common school education. His father was a sea captain, and died when Charles was a small boy. His family moved to Dedham, Massachusetts when he was ten years old and to Canton, Massachusetts when he was sixteen. He moved to Concord, New Hampshire in 1837, where he was a cutler for some time. He "came west" in the spring of 1848, and first settled at Belvidere, Illinois, where he managed the farm of a Dr. Jonathan Stone near that city. He married Eleanor Stone, Dr. Stone's daughter (like him a native of Massachusetts, and a Universalist).
He took up work as a machinist in a Beloit reaper factory the next year for $1 a day, and would walk back home to his family in Belvidere on Friday evenings, returning to his job on the following Monday morning. In 1850 he permanently moved Eleanor and their family to Beloit. In 1852 he and his partner, brother-in-law Gustavus Stone, went into business together, building all the machinery necessary to their industry. They commenced by first making hoes and then expanding to such implements as grain sickles and blades for mowing machines. Parker would end up the president of the Parker & Stone Reaper Company. (It was while working for Parker and Stone that John Appleby developed his famous Appleby Twine Binder)
