The
Late Wm. Loder Park
Word has reached us of the
death of W. L. Park, which took place at Seattle.
The late Mr. Park, the son
of Loder Park and Elizabeth Merritt, was born in Townsend, where he
lived for some years, then in Brantford, later moving to Detroit.
He married Miss Jane,
daughter of Rev. Jacob Van Loon. She predeceased him some years ago
and was buried in Detroit.
Mr. Park had gone to Seattle
to spend a few months with his eldest son, when he was stricken with
pneumonia and died after a short illness.
The body was brought to
Detroit to the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Matthews,
where for a number of years he had made his home, and buried from
there in the family plot.
Mr. Park, who was of a
kindly genial nature, made hosts of friends wherever he went and
will be much missed by them as well as by his family.
