Notes
a. Note:   N11 He was for many years foreman of a large woolen mill in his native country, having about five hundred workers under his supervision. He was a great reader and thinker, a natural poet and descriptive writer, a naturalist and inventor-machinist. His father was William Park, a shepherd in Inverness, Scotland, and his mother was Janet Main. Seven sons and six daughters were born to them. The sons followed their father's occupation with the exception of David S. Park, for whom David H. Park was named, and who was a general merchant at Hawick, Scotland. The youngest daughter of this large family died only three years ago, at the venerable age of ninety years, a woman like Dorcas full of faith and good deeds. David H. Park's mother, Sophia Milligan, was a woman of culture and special aptness in making herself helpful both to rich and poor. His maternal grandfather was George Milligan, was a cabinet-maker and undertaker in Hawick all his life, his son Robert succeeding to the business, which was conducted by the two for a period of nearly seventy-five years. His grandmother was Jane Patterson, a woman noted for her consecrated Christian life. He had one maternal uncle, the one mentioned above.
  In 1857 Andrew Park crossed the ocean with his family and, after a thirty-seven-day trip on the sailing vessel Pomona, they landed and took up their residence in Delaware County, New York, in July of this year, later arriving in Linn county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming. He died at the home of his son, in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, having arrived at the age of eighty-three years, while his wife passed away about 1880. They were both devoted members of the United Presbyterian Church.
