RANDOLPH PARMLY, A.B., L.L.B, is the son of Wheelock Hendee Parmly, who was for forty years Paster of the First Baptist Church of Jersey City, New Jersey, and who was the son of Randolph Parmly and Elizabeth (Murray) Parmly, the first Randolph Parmly being the first male child born at Randolph, Vermont, and being in consequence named after that place. The Rev. Wheelock H. Parmly married Katherine Dunbar, daughter of the Rev. Duncan Dunbar, for many years Pastor of the McDougal Street Baptist Church in New York, and she was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. Randolph Parmly, son of Wheelock H. and Katherine D. Parmly, was born at Burlington, New Jersey, on April 2, 1854, and was prepared for college at the Hasbrouck Institute in Jersey City, from which he was graduated in 1871. In the fall of that year he entered New York University, and in June, 1875, he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The next three years were spent in law studies, in a Jersey City law office and at Columbia College, from which latter he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1878. From 1878 to 1888 he practiced law in Jersey City, and since the latter date has been established in New York, devoting his attention chiefly to corporation law, and being counsel for a number of important corporations. Mr. Parmly is a member of the Bar Association of New York City, and of the University, Phi Beta Kappa, and Lawyer's clubs. He was married in 1898 to Mary S. Olmstead, daughter of Garrick M. Olmstead of Jersey City, and lives in New York City in the winter and on the Shrewsbury River in New Jersey in the summer. His office is at No. 160 Broadway, New York.
