Clarinda; born April 18, 1853, in Van Buren County, Iowa. When 15 years of age his parents moved to Ottumwa, where the subject of this sketch attained his majority, receiving his education in the common schools. When seventeen he began to study the art of photography with H.L. Shaw, of Ottumwa, with whom he remained, as apprentice and operator, about eighteen months. In 1871 he opened a gallery in Elden, remaining until the fall of 1873. He then returned to Ottumwa and purchased the business of his former preceptor, continuing the same until the fall of 1874, when he came to Clarinda, forming a partnership with Mr. E.B. Hinman. In MArch, 1877, he sold his interest to his partner, and went to California, to return to his native state at the end of a year. Coming again to Clarinda he purchased the business of his former partner, which he has industriously followed since. As an artist Mr. Park has no superior in southwestern Iowa. His work is a mosel of neatness and beauty of design.

Park</div> <div>    A few minutes before the noon hour yesterday, the spirit of Oscar H. Park was released from its tenement of mortality and winged its flight to its eternal home. While it was not unexpected, the announcement of the death of Mr. park came as a severe shock to his many friends for there was still a lingering hope that there might be a change that would give him a new lease on life. He had been in failing health for nearly three years, but until the last six months it was not thought by his friends that he was so soon to be called away. Until about six weeks ago he was able to be up and around and was downtown frequently, but the last five weeks he was confined to the bed and the fatal disease, "pernicious Anaemia", which he had been fighting with heroic energy, very rapidly developed and resulted as above stated. During all the time he was failing he did not suffer serious pain but was oppressed with a degree of bodily weakness that was almost unbearable. His last hours were entirely free from pain and the spirit slipped away so quietly as to be almost unnoticed as there was not a struggle of the body to indicate the great change that was taking place by which O.H. Park was being transferred from earthly citizenship to that of heavenly. And so it is that Clarinda has lost a good citizen, the family has lost a loving husband and father, and his many friends have lost a loved companion. But the memory of his real self will be with us as a reality and the influence of his life will continue to be a factor in the lives of many people.</div> <div>    During the last two weeks of the illness two of Mr. Park's brothers were here to visit with him but the other two brothers who live in the far west were unable to come. During the last few days Mrs. T.G. Given a cousin, from Creston, has been here to help care for him.</div> <div>    That he fully realized the fact that the end was coming and that he was fully prepared for the great change was evidenced in many ways and by frequent testimony to his family and friends. The writer spent Monday night with him and was deeply impressed with some of the things he said as he lay in a sort of delerium but most by a remark he made several times "They have it arranged for me to go Wednesday afternoon and it is all right, for there is no use for me to stay here any longer." This thought was brought out in various expressions and it now seems to have been an impression of coming events that were casting their shadows before. That same evening he said goodbye to his wife and other members of the family, and who knows but what he was catching glimpses of the beyond?</div> <div>    Mr. Park was born in Iowaville, a small town in Van Buren County, Iowa, April 18, 1853, and grew up in the home of his parents, Aaron and Margaret Park. The parents came to Iowa in 1843 and so had the pioneer experinces incident to the times. After completing the common school course, Oscar attended the high school in Keokuk, after which he took up the study of photography with an artist in Ottumwa. In the fall of 1874 he opened a gallery in Clarinda and continued in the business until about four years ago. During the years he was in the business he established a reputation as an artist that was enviable and won a wide circle of friends because of his honesty and perfectly fair dealing with all of his customers.</div> <div>    Mr. Park was married October 4, 1880, to Miss Mary Kittle, who is left to mourn the loss of a true lover, husband and companion. Only one child was born to them, Herman, and he was spared to them only one year and ten months. When the home was so lonesome and desolate from the loss of the precious baby boy, they adopted a neice who was at the time about the age of the lost one and she has been the light of the home during all these years and is now Mrs. Mabel Bagnall, the wife of Arthur G. Bagnall, and the mother of little Mary, two and a half years old. Mr. Park was especially fond of the little grandchild and during his illness spent a great deal of his time with her.</div> <div>    Mr. Park was a member of the city council for several years and was a citizen who was always ready to do his part in the work of building up the town. He was an active and liberal member of the Methodist church and a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen. He was associated with the Current Events Club, whose meetings he greatly enjoyed. The funeral services will be conducted by Dr. Stevenson, the pastor of the Methodist church, tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock, at the family home, corner of 18th and Clark Streets.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Gideon P NEAL - Obituary</U></B><B><U> <A NAME="gideon_neal_obit"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B></div> <div> Paris, Illinois Daily Beacon-News, Monday Evening, May 18, 1942; Page 7, Column 5:</div> <div> GIDEON P.
