William Jay, DeLancey Kane and others, Mr. Parker was one of its most enthusiastic members, turning out many smart teams for the club's annual parades."[1] Personal lifeParker, a "fashionable bachelor of Mrs. Astor's entourage", who never married,[1] inherited a large share of the fortune which has enabled him to be a lifelong man of leisure.[3] In 1892, Parker was included in Ward McAllister's "Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times.[4][5] Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom.[6] Parker was noted as a "wit and a linguist" with a striking personal appearance due to his tall, military bearing and white hair.[1] "He spoke French like a native and had the manners of a king."[14] He owned a cottage in Newport, Rhode Island, known as "Sans Souci" and located on Merton Road where he was generally one of the first summer residents to open his cottage[7] and one of the last to leave.[14] In 1897, he publicly challenged the Newport Assessors to "come into court and show before a Judge that their valuation is fair and reasonable" as he felt the tax assessment was overvalued.[8] In Newport, he was a member of the Newport Reading Room, where he socialized with August Belmont, C.C. Baldwin, and General Prescott Lawrence (who donated the land to build the Groton School).[9] At the time of his death, he was considered one of Newport's oldest summer residents.[10] Parker died at his home, 253 Madison Avenue in New York City, on January 11, 1917 at the age of 86,[11] leaving an estate worth $2,000,000.[21] In his will, he left his Newport estate to Mrs. Evelyn Kimball Richmond, the wife of Harold A. Richmond of Provincetown, Massachusetts.[12] His relatives contested the validity of the will as he later tore out the page of the will where he left the Newport home to Mrs. Richmond.[13][14] After his death, Ogden Codman, the Boston architect and interior decorator, leased Sans Souchi for the summer.[15] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title=JAMES V.
