The Obituary of Janet Park wife of Hugh Park;
SARNIA OBSERVER: Friday November 28, 1879
THE LATE JANET PARK. One by one the old pioneers of our Province are passing away. Janet Park, whose death took place on the 20th October at her residence, Lot 7, 2nd Concession, Township of Plympton was not merely a pioneer of Lambton but was a pioneer of the East of our Province as well. She had long passed the term of three score and ten allotted by the P....st as the average duration of human life. She had attained to the almost Patriarchal age of eighty eight years and seven months. She was six months older than the Province itself. Mrs. Park was born 1791 in Cambuslang near Glasgow Scotland. Was married in 1812 and came to this country with her husband and three eldest children in the year 1822, and settled in the township of Dalhousie County of Lanark, where she with the family went through the many hardships connected with settling in the bush. But after Fifteen years of hard toil and with good management not withstanding the rocks and hills of Dalhousie, the family acquired some means and hearing of the superiority of the land in the west, the Father and eldest son, the late James Park in the year 1835 started for the west and found their way to Plympton where they secured a U. E. Right and put up a shanty and commenced clearing and putting in fall wheat. They returned in the fall of '36 to Dalhousie and in the spring of '37 picked up stakes and came to Plympton with the family. Fifteen in all. Here in the wilderness surrounded by swamps in the midst of a dense bush, twelve miles from the front and no roads. In common with others the family underwent many hardships at first. But in a short time hardship was overcome. The larger number of the family being well grown up and by industry and perseverance in a few years a comfortable home was obtained. But alas, for the subject of this sketch when all is light with hope suddenly a cloud descends and a gloom is cast upon the family. The father is stricken with cancer on the stomach and after a few months illness he died on the 9th October 1841. Notwithstanding the sad bereavement the family through the guidance of a prudent and sagacious mother was kept together. The home of kind "Granny Park" and family was known far and near. It was situated at the corner of the then four leading roads, namely from Warwick to Sarnia and from Enniskillen and North Plympton and E. Sarnia Townships, to Gardner's Mill in Enniskillen. As these were the days when long journeys had to be made through mud and stumps to Mill and Market with Ox and Jumper and with the more wealthy a cart, many were the benighted and weary travelers that were taken freely in and lodged at the old homestead and we doubt not many of the old people of Plympton, Warwick, and Enniskillen will give a sigh of regret when they learn that kind "Granny Park" has gone to her rest. Deceased was of a strong physical frame. She retained all her faculties to the last. She was seldom or never sick which together with her great age she often attributed to the close observance of the laws of nature which she was careful not to violate. She was the mother of twelve children, six sons and six daughters, and she lived to see sixty three grandchildren and thirty three great grandchildren. Many of the latter are well grown up. Her family all grew up to manhood and womanhood but one. Ten were married and located near the homestead and are well to do and respected. Prominent among them was the late James Park. She was mother in law to the ex-warden and present Reeve of Enniskillen. Deceased began to fail a little over three years ago when she was afflicted with jaundice and pleurisy. Since then she was subject to weak spells at intervals and fears were entertained that she might drop in some of them, but she was ale to be up and around a little until about Fifteen days before her death, when she took severely ill. From which she partly recovered. Then she began to sink gradually until Monday morning at half past seven. Quietly and peacefully she passed away. Her remains were conveyed to the family burying ground at Mandaumin by a large concourse of relations and sympathizing friends and after a telling address by the Rev. Mr. Dann, her earthly tenement was laid in its last resting place. Deceased was 88 years, 6 months and 15 days old at death. She was married at the age of 21, was a wife 29 years and a widow 38 years. She was kind and hospitable through life, always finding her way with a full hand to the poor and the sick. Kind in life she was sweet in death. Three sons and four daughters and a large number of grand and great grand children survive her.
