They also were joined by John Woodbury’s unmarried nephew, Harold Woodbury Parsons, the son of John Woodbury’s brother-in-law and sister, Edward P. Parsons and Marcia Eola (Woodbury) Parsons. In 1910, he had lived with his mother at 348 Commonwealth. Harold Parsons was a student and later would become an art expert who spent much of his time in Rome, where he represented various art museums in acquiring works of art. In 1956, he was charged by Italian police as being part of a ring of antique dealers illegally exporting Etruscan art. It is unclear whether he was convicted of the charge. In 1961, he exposed the sale of fraudulent Etruscan art to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
