Biographical history
Dr. Daniel McNeill Parker was born on April 28, 1822, in Windsor, Hants, Nova Scotia.
He was a physician and politician. He received his early education at King’s College School and Horton Academy. In 1845, he graduated from the University of Edinburgh with the degree of M.D. He returned to Nova Scotia and established a lucrative private practice in Halifax, which he maintained until 1895. Dr. Parker was president of both the Provincial Medical Association of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Medical Association. He was one of the commissioners who arranged to have a Nova Scotia exhibit at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, England, for which he received the Prince Albert Medal. In 1868, he was involved in the creation of the medical faculty at Dalhousie University. He was also an active member of the Liberal-Conservative Party. In 1867, he was elected to the Legislative Council, maintaining his seat until 1901.
In 1847, he married Elizabeth Johnston (Ritchie) (1821–1852), and in 1854, he married Fanny Holmes Black (1834–1915). He died on November 4, 1907, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
