Mary (Patterson) Park, In September, 1862,
he married Miss Annie 7. Segar of Stockton,
and had practically made his home in this town
since, although his commodious house in the
village was not bought until 1878. Three sons
blessed this most congenial union. One died in
infancy, the others reaching maturity; the
youngest, Mr. Harry S. Park, passing to the
spirit life in March, 1907, a crushing blow to
his loved and loving parents, from which his
father never fully recovered, evidences of his
fatal malady soon appearing. Beginning the
