NOTES
1). bobspu.ged BIO Per the PARK Genealogy, rev. 1973, William A. PARK and his wife ANNA B. FRANCE resided in Hoopeston, Vermilion County, Illinois where Wm. operated a coal yard in the early 1800s. The couple later moved to Sterling, Rice County, Kansas to be near William s parents. There they resided on a small farm on the south edge of Sterling. There was a small lake on their farm Silver Lake which was a popular swimming hole and ice skating spot. In their later years the family moved into a house at the northwest corner of Third and Adams Streets in Sterling. William was a member of the Session at the United Presbyterian Church there for several years. The PARK Genealogy reports that William and Anna B. PARK had five children, three sons and two daughters. While the following information is not confirmed by this genealogy, it can be found in U.S. Census for 1900, Hanover Twp., Jefferson Co. IN. Apparently this couple went from ILLINOIS to INDIANA for a period of at least eleven years. Per the 1900 Census, the first of their chilren, Isabella G. was born in ILLINOIS in 1883. The other four children were reported to have been born in INDIANA. Edith J. was born in 1885 Earl G. was born in 1888 Lee F., born in 1890 and Harold F. in 1896...all in INDIANA. Also enumerated in William and Anne B. s household was James D. FRANCE, age 77, widowed, born in PA. James is listed as William A. PARK s father in law. James parents were reportedly born in SCOTLAND. Considering that the family was in IN in 1900, thatthe PARK Genealogy states that they went to KANSAS to be nearer to William s parents, compiler assumes that they must have gone to KS shortly after census enumeration , 23 JUNE 1900, because Thomas, William s father died in 1900 Jennett, Thos. wife died16 FEB. 1902 in Sterling, KS. There are several discrepancies in the data for William s children Grace PARK genealogy is listed as Isabelle G. census Harold F. was born 31 March 1900 genealogy he was born March, 1896 census and was 4 years oldwhen the census enumeration was done in 1900.

2).  bobspu.ged  BIO   From the information in the PARK Genealogy that Anna and William resided  in the early 1880s  in ILLINOIS, as well as from information gathered from the 1900 Census in Hanover, IN, e.g. that Anna was born in IL, as was their first child, compiler has assumed that the. couple was probably married there. Per birth dates and birth places listed in that census, the couple evidently spent at least 11 years in IN before going to KANSAS. From narrative included in the PARK Genealogy, both William A. and Anna B. PARK evidently died in Rice Co., KS. The identity of Anna  s mother is unknown  her father, James D. France was enumerated in the PARK  s household in Hanover Township in 1900.  James D. FRANCE was enumerated as  Father in law  in Wm. A. PARK  s household.  REFERENCES  1.  Park W.
