January 21, 1910
Rome Sentinel

George W. Park, aged 80 years, died on Thursday morning at his home, 107 Elk Street, Syracuse, after a brief illness. He was well known in this vicinity and had an interesting history. Mr. Park was the son of William Park and Sarah Ford Park. His father was a revolutionary soldier who removed from Massachusetts to Lee Center about the year 1815. He was one of the first settlers in that region and was the first to build a log cabin on the site of what is now known as Lee Center. The subject of this sketch, George W. Park, was born at that place on May 9, 1830, and resided there till he was about twenty years old. He then went south and for a time was engaged in school teaching there. Later, with two brothers, he went by prarie schooner across the southern states, touching fourteen different ones on the trip to Missouri, where they located on a farm. This was during the exciting times of the slavery question and on account of the activity and sentiments of the brothers in favor of Lincoln's election, they, with others, were seized and locked up till the polls closed on election day. The feeling against the supporters of Lincoln was so strong that Mr. Park and his brothers decided to move to Illinois where they remained for about 25 years. In 1885 Mr. Park came back to Lee Center to reside and continued to live there till 1897 when he removed to Syracuse to give his children better school opportunities. The surviving relatives are Mr. Park's wife, Mrs. Elestine F. Park, three sons and two daughtters, Attorney George F. Park of Syracuse, Charles T. and H. Harold Park, who are connected with the Solvay Process Company of Syracuse and are located at Ensley, Ala., Mrs. Beulah E. Hawley of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Miss Mabel E. Park of Syracuse. he also leaves a sister and two brothers, Mrs. Helen Kenyon and DeWitt C. Park of Lee Center, and William A. Park of Camden. The family have the sympathy of many friends in this vicinity who well remember Mr. Park for his many good qualities. The remains will be brought to this city and taken to Lee Center, where the funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Kenyon. Interment will be made in the Lee Center Cemetery.

(Lengthy write-up, front page, same basic information as obit following but a little less family history) (Probably Roman Citizen but name of paper and date not indicated on clipping. Copies of this time period not found on microfilm at Jervis Library.) The late William Park was the youngest child born to the late Jacob Park of Sangerfield, Berkshire county, Mass. William was born in said town on the 27th day of April, 1789, and died in Lee on the evening of the 19th of Sept. 1880, at the uncommon age of 91-1/2 years. The widowed mother, in 1795, took six of her children and removed from Massachusetts to that part of Oneida County known as Steuben and located a farm at what was then called the west end of the settlement. The farm is now owned and occupied by G. W. Stedman. At the age of (21), in 1810, William and his elder brother, the late Abijah Park, purchased a farm embracing lands upon which are our main public buildings, including the churches, stores and various shops and places of business, except the grist and saw mills and the tannery. Lee Center then had no name in history but was known as the Western Settlement between the Eastern civilization and Canada. In 1812 Lee had been incorporated and admitted among the towns in the county. During this year Mr. Park volunteered and went to Sackett's Harbor at the call of his country, stayed three months and returned to his home. In 1814 he again went and stayed forty days. He gave the grounds upon which the Union Church was built in 1819 to the Union Eccelsiastical Society to be kept forever for their use as a church, and also gave the town authority, subsequently, to build a hall in the basement, and guaranteed the right of way. In 1861, at the breaking out of the rebellion, his patriotic ardor broke forth, and his boys heard him say that if he was young again he would shoulder his musket and start for the field of deadly conflict. Dewit, his oldest son at home, taking the hint, enlisted, and John, an older brother, then in the west, enlisted. Subsequently, when the draft came, William, the boy at home, was drawn. The father needed his help and raised $300, the draft money. In 1817, Mr. Park, although quite young, was held in such esteem by his fellow citizens, that he was elected to the office of Supervisor of Lee, and for fourteen successive years he was re-elected to that office. He had gained the entire confidence of his townsmen and from time to time other important offices of trust were conferred upon him. He was estensively known and respected throughout the county. He was always temperate in his habits, strictly upright and honest in his dealings with his fellow man. As a magistrate or justice of the peace sitting to arbitrate between parties, his only aim was to ascertain what was just. He was rigidly impartial, giving his opinions fearlessly. It may be said of him, in his deals, that with him 99 cents didn't make a dollar and 101 cents made more than a dollar, and he was willing to give and receive a just dollar. He was a father of eleven children, seven of whom survive him, and they have families of their own. There are several grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, but distance and cares have prevented them from being present at the funeral. The aged patricarch lived to see the sixth generation. Notwithstanding his age and feebleness, and the infirmities of human nature during his last sickness and suffering, the coming Presidential delection occupied his mind, and never in any intercourse with him have I seen him more interested in any election that he was in that of November next. He was highly delighted at the results in Maine, and wished that Garfield and Arthur would be elected.

Henry O. Pratt, for many years a well known boot and shoe manufacturer at No.230 West Washington street, died suddenly at his home, No. 115 Holland street, early yesterday morning. For the past three years, Mr. Pratt was not in robust health, having gradually failed until the last two months found him at times scarcely able to attend to business. Monday evening, after returning from his office, he went to the home of his son-in-law, Dr. James E. Cummings, in company with his daughter. He returned home about 10 o�clock and complained of feeling poorly. About 1 o�clock Mrs. Pratt awoke and to her inquiry he replied that he felt about the same. Later Mrs. Pratt awoke and touching her husband�s hand discovered it to be unnaturally cold. She was startled and upon examination found that he was dead.
