W. H. PARK.
\V. H. Park, now postmaster at Fresno, was born near Ottawa City, Canada, December 27, 1885, and is a son of William and Mary Ann (Boyd) Park, natives of County Tyrone, Irehuid, and of Scotch-Irish descent. They were reared and married on the Emerald island and it was about 1826 that they crossed the Atlantic and settled in Canada. The father, who was a farmer by occupation, died during the infancy of our subject, and in 1858 the mother brought her family to Coshocton county. Here she passed away in 1878 and wa- laid to rest in Keene township. There were four children but only two of the number are now living, the other being Samuel, a resident of White Eyes township[

On the 19th of April, 1859, Mr. Park was united in marriage to Miss Nancy J. Ro.s.s, who was born in Holmes county, Ohio, in 1832, and was a daughter of Randall and Eliza (Boone) Ross, the mother being a relative of Daniel Boone. In the Ross family were eleven children. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Park were born five sons, namely: Wilber F. and James R., both of whom reside in this county; Samuel H., deceased; George J., who makes his home in Chicago, Illinois; and John B., a resident of Belmont county, Ohio. The mother of these children died June 6, 1898, and Mr. Park was again married December- 18, 1901, his second union being with Mrs. Margaret (Phillabaum) Cutchall, a daughter of George Phillabaum. She was born in white Eyes township in 1853 and is one of a family of ten children.
In politics Mr. Park is a republican, and for the past three years he has served as postmaster of Fresno, an office he is most creditably and satisfactorily filling. Religiously he is a member of the United Presbyterian church of Fresno, while his wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
