Parker Ranch – Adele Von Ohl Parker

Cuyahoga County · 23433 Mastick Road, North Olmsted, OH, 44070

Side A: Adele Von Ohl Parker was a daredevil stunt rider once starring in Buffalo Bill’s shows. Stranded during the Depression, she started a riding school; her flamboyance captivated her young riders. The 34-building ranch was the scene of many rodeos and wild west shows. Visiting friends included Gene Autry and a circus owner whose elephants bathed in the Rocky River. This 37-year fantasy vanished forever upon her death in 1969. Side B: Unknown
