OBITUARY. 1t is with deep sorrow
that we write of the passing to high
Ell life of our young friend, Mr.. Harry
S. Park, at the home of his brother,
DR.. Isaac P. Park, in Revere Mass,
Monday, March 4th. OF a happy, bnoyant
nature he kept his cheeriness to the last
and maintained the hope and expectation
of coming home soon and OF reSuming his
business the 10Th of March. He arrived at
his brothers from business trip in the
central west about the middle of December
in a sick condition and at once took his bed
with pleuro- pneumonia. Rallying someW hat
from this, his vitality was SO sapped he
could not overcome THE tuberculosis which
he knew had been lurking in his system for
two wears, but which knowledge he had
kept from his family. The tubercular
trouble permeated the entire system, finally
Selling the throat and making sWallowinS
almost impossible. He was great sufferer
but most patient through it all, never indi-
eating by word or action that he felt this to
to be his last Illness He was born in the
first house (next to the Stock ton line) in
that portion of Searsport now called Park.
June 20. 1870, the youngest child of Captain
and Mrs. Charles c. Park. At the age of
three months he accompanied his parents
to sea, remaining on shipboard for about
two and half years continuously lie
child, going to various parts of the world.
but Notwithstanding this early experiences
he did not care to follow the sea for an oc
cupation. He was educated in the public
schools of Stockton, which had always been
his home since as small al t boy and began
late b. M. Roberts, going from there to
the store of Starrett & Co. in Belfast.
From the latter place he went to drv
goods store in Waltham, Massachusetts, re-
manning there sometime, during which he
took course in designing" at the lnsti-
Buffalo to engage as shipping clerk XIV with En-
a radiator factory, and from there to travel
on the road for the Pierce Bicycle Co. He
was employed by the Chemical Fire Ex
tinguisher Company with headquarters at
Worcester when his health gave out re-
nine Years ago. This illness compelled him
to come home, where he remained for five
years, gaining much in health, but never re-
gaining his former vigOr. About three
years ago he entered the employ of the
Consolidated Gold Co., travelling as far as
California and Mexico IN this interest.
Finally his health gave out again, compell-
ing his return home for time, and about a
year ago he made another start, organizing
a lumber-importng company to operate in
nayti. lie made two trips to that island,
but after his second return, sold out his in
terest in the company and engaged with
the Douglass Shoe co. to travel on the road.
He had returned from a very successful
business trip when his fatal illness seized
him, His loss comes as a crushing blow to
his father, mother and brother, and the en-
tire village feels his going to be a personal
sorrow. The deepest sympathy is extend
ed to his bereaved family Ill this great
affection. He will be much missed through
out the entire village, in all social and
musical ways, for his genial and pleasant
manners made him welcome addition to
all gatherings, while his kindness and
willingness to use his fine tenor voice for
the enjoyment OF his friends and the pub
lie made him greatly appreciated. He was
always ready to use time and talents in
this way and in his going the village meets
with a great loss. This is especially felt
by the remaining members Of the choir,
with whom he has sung so much. The
funeral took place Thursday afternoon
from his fathers house, the simple service
consisting of beautiful prayer by Rev.
H. E. Ronillard and two touching selections,
finely rendered, by quartette choir from
Belfast. The quantities of lovely flowers
were tributes from the many friends of the
deceased, nine fine pieces coming from
friends in Massachusetts. The buZial was
in the village cemetery, but without
Masonic rites, although the deceased was
a member of Pownal Lodge, F. & A. NJ,
and a large body of that organization at
tended the services. An intimate friend of
the family, Mrs. Matte A. Erskine of Sears
port, contributes the following tender lines
to the sOrrOwing parents:
When loved ones close their eyes in death
And from our sight depart,
Leaving behind the falling tear,
The bruised and bleeding heart,
What wonder that with clouds of grief
Between us and the sky
We turn to God, with questioning heart
To know the reason why.
When aged ones, with well filled years,
Are gathered home to rest,
We bow our heads in nilder grief,
Feeling God knOweth best.
