Biographical history

Daniel McNeil Parker was a physician and politician in Dartmouth and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Born in Windsor, Nova Scotia, in 1822, he received his early education in Windsor and at Horton Academy.

He returned to Nova Scotia in the late 1930s and established a family medical practice, which he maintained until the 1890s. Dr. Parker was president of both the Provincial Medical Association of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Medical Association.
