General Notes: Husband - John Waltz Parks

---

During his boyhood he attended local schools and Leechburg Academy, and then during the winter of 1868-69 taught the home school, known as the Hills school. Following this he went to the oil fields in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he spent ten years. Upon leaving there he worked along different lines until his marriage, when he located at Leechburg. In 1896 he returned to Parks township, and taking one half of the homestead operated his 100 acres thereafter, with profit to himself and to the further development of his property, which was regarded as one of the best farms in his locality. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Politically he was a Democrat, and served as school director of his township.
