He and his son Elijah built mills and improved Parksville, and gained more respect than Martin, much to Martin's chagrin. He wanted to call it Martinville but the residents chose Parks, and the hamlet was named Parksville. In 1880, the New York, Ontario and Western Railroad reached Parksville. It ran trains there until March 29, 1957 when the entire line was abandoned.
