General Notes: Husband - John H. Park
He was reared on the farm and studied in the public schools. He assisted his father in the lumber trade and later entered the field of business on his own account, opening a general store at Park Quarries, which he conducted under the firm name of J. H. Park & Co. He also opened a stone quarry there, and in 1882 established another at New Galilee, from which he furnished fine sand stone for building, shipping it to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. In 1885, the Park Fire Clay Company was organized at Park Quarries, of which he became superintend.
