She was found asphyxiated in the bathroom of her home in Carnegie, by her husband, upon his return from work.

For the past two years he has been failing in health and during the past few months, failed very rapidly. Four weeks ago he was removed to his son's home in Toledo so that his son might care for him, and upon wakening Wednesday morning his son found he had died during the night. Mr. PARK was a Canadian, having been born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, November 15, 1843. He lived there until he became a young man and in 1872 he left Canada and came to Meadville, Pa., where he lived for many years. All his life he followed the butcher business, retiring in Oakdale about eight years ago. He came to Oakdale October 28, 1891, having been here almost 29 yeas. At the time of the big fire in Edenburg Mr. PARK was in business and lost every thing he had. For the past 26 years he has lived at the HILE home, on Center avenue. He was a man always ready to help the poor or anyone who has in need. (sic) Many kind acts he has done and many poor families were helped that no one knew anything about. He was always on the lookout for someone who needed a friend. His generosity was almost beyond comprehension, for never was there a day that he did not do some one some good. He was a man who was well liked by everyone and he leaves a large circle of friends. His body was brought to Oakdale on Thursday morning, as taken to the HILE home where services were held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. W. D. LEWIS. He leaves two sons, George E., assistant superintendent of SWINEHARE Tire company, Akron, O., and William E., a security broker, of Toledo; also two sisters, Mrs. William MACBETH, of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and Mrs. Hattie LEWIS, of Winano, Ontario, Canada, and a step-brother, William WALSTER, of Meadville, Pa.
