    Parke was born in 1857 at Clogher House[2] in Kilmore, County Roscommon, Ireland, and was brought up in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim. He graduated from the College of Surgeons in Dublin and was appointed to a post in Ballybay, County Monaghan. In 1881 he joined the British Army and served in Egypt[1] as a surgeon. Parke fought to Khartoum in relief of General Gordon in 1885 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Heazle_Parke
  • DannyM8 said:
    Parke campaigned with Henry Morton Stanley on the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. This expedition lasted three years and many were saved from death by Parke's courage and medical skills. He was known as the ' man who had saved Stanley'.[3] He thus became the first Irishman to cross the African continent. During the expedition Parke bought a pygmy girl. They travelled together for over a year and she nursed him through malaria. In the end he was forced to leave her behind because her eyes could not adapt to sunlight after the darkness of the forest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Heazle_Parke

Olive Thomas (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Melinda Young Stuart said:
    Looks to me like a posed piece, in which she is "dressed as a fancy maid". Cooking on a fairly new (?) gas stove, I think. Her careful cosmetics are inconsistent with a true maid's role. Go to Wikipedia first! She was an actress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Thomas Her career was a short one, apparently, until she died of poisoning, a supposed accident and major scandal.
