Garfield Park Woes Spark Court Fight Over Homestead
Garfield park near the west fence hosts a new house built by A. J. Paramore, claimed as his homestead to block foreclosure on his park share. The Park is owned by the Bank of Topeka, A. W. Knowles, and Paramore, with Paramore’s one fourth stake in dispute between his sister and others. Marshall’s band complains of poor seating and park upkeep, while negotiations seek to reorganize ownership and funding to keep the park open.
