            Logan County Title Company, a cornerstone of the 
            Lincoln community, was founded in 1903 by Lynn R. Parker to provide 
            abstract and title work to residential, commercial and agricultural 
            clients throughout the county. Today, 95 percent of the company's 
            focus is title work.  
            Lynn R. Parker's grandson, D. Brewster, took over 
            managing the title company in 1969 and served until his death, in 
            1994, when his wife, Joan, became president. Joan's sons continue 
            the family tradition, with Jonathan serving as vice president and 
            Christopher as director.
