June 1905 Parker News
http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL4513022.pdf
A. W. duBray, Parker Bros.' popular traveler, has been laid up in a Richmond, Va., hospital with a bad knee, the result of an attack of rheumatism. We hope he will soon be on his feet again. That the old reliable Parker gun is much in evidence in Southern California is attested by the fact that at the Los Angeles Gun Club shoot, the 22d and 23d of April, 37 per cent of the contestants shot Parker guns, and the longest run, of 84 straight, was made by Lewis Breer, Jr., using the Parker gun. The Tufts-Lyon Arms Co. medal was won with 43 out of 50 by Guy Lovelace with a Parker gun. |
Drew, Thanks for posting the Sporting Life page. I think that the Du Pont marriage may be the ancestor of a good friend. David

Drew, Thanks for the du Pont info. I really liked the gal shooting clays from the deck of a sail boat under way! Philip Francis du Pont was a cousin of my friends family which is the Francis I. du Pont branch. David
