General Notes: Husband - Leslie Park Witherup

---

He was born on the home farm, where he spent his early years, meanwhile attending the public schools of the vicinity. But he had no taste for agriculture, preferring mechanical work, which he followed with great success. After his marriage he lived with his father on the home farm until the fall of 1901, when he went to Washington County, spending two years there and returning to Scrubgrass, where he and his wife resided in a house on the creek until the winter of 1904. Buying a half interest in the oil lease on his father's farm from Clark N. Witherup, he returned there to take charge of the lease, and engaged in oil operations. In September, 1906, he and Rev. J. M. Critchlow struck the famous Critchlow well on the Thomas Witherup farm, Mr. Critchlow buying his interest therein for twelve thousand dollars. Park Witherup then built a large planing mill, blacksmith and repair shop on the creek, doing an extensive business there until the new town of Kennerdell was laid out, when he bought two lots on the Rockland side of the river upon which he erected a large three story building, equipped with the latest mill machinery. It fronted on the railroad, and was only a short distance from the station. When his new plant was started he moved the first one across the river. He was one of the moving spirits in the establishment of the new town, and one of its foremost business men. In 1913 he removed to Lorain, Ohio, and in 1914 to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was engaged in mechanical engineering and construction work. [CAB, 1071]
