Jefferson Park was born in Hamp- shire county, West Virginia, April 20th, 1821; married Miss Barbara Davis, of Highland county, Virginia, Nov. 2, 1848. ‘Tio this union were 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls, two girls died, one boy was killed two years ago. Hedied Feb. 1, 1897, aged 75 years, 9 months and 11 days. He sold his farm in Hampshire county, Va., in 1857. He was raised nine miles east of Romney, near the pike; he he left Vir- ginia, he staid in Crawford county, Ohio, the winter of ’57. In the spring of ’5% he and his brother Washington moved to Bates county, and each bought a farm of Mr Fisher, which he owned at his death. He was a man with a strong mind and loved to debate on moral and political questions; his physical power was strong,and with the two combined he was able to hold to his subject and always left an impression on his opponents mind. If they tried to laugh it off they never got rid of it. During the war he had to leave his farm and move to Kansas. While in Kansas his mother died. During the war his property was destroyed in Bates county. At the commence- ment of the war, one day while com- ing home from Butler at the Ruble day.

Your notes are p: find them e wl ford he met several of his neighbors; one of them drew his gun to kill him but some of the others interfered and he was permitted to go home. He had to pass through many severe trials during the war. It was our privilege'to be with him from Fri- day till Sabbath morning; during that time he took us back 55 years telling the history of the M E church of that day; how the church held their prayer and love feast meetings | that used to be held at Hanging rock church in« Hampshire county, Va. He loved to tell about Father Kirtis, how he prayed for a revival at that place, the power he possessed, and when he said Amen he fell forward and passed away, happy, He spoke of many more that possessed great powerin the church; he spoke of the defference in the way the church did now and of those good old times in the church of 50 years ago. Few men have passed through the trials that he has. In November his strength began to fail him, gradually going down all the time, till death came. He always expressed a_ wil lingness to go, for he had been per- mitted to live longer than the aver- age; he passed away without a struggle. His funeral was preached by Rev Galbreath, from Psalms, 23rd chapter, 4th verse; after which his body was laid in the Park grave yard beside his little daughter; he was the ninth one of the family to die; there are but two of the family ying; Wesley 78 years old and Wash- ington. who has passed his 73d year. Wesley has not been from the house for several years. AARON. Round Prairie Items. Mrs Nichols, of near Eldorado, was visiting relatives here the first of the week.
