  • Notes 
    • “Louis C. Park, stock trader, was born in Franklin County, Mo., in 1843, and is the youngest of the six children, three sons and three daughters, of Wilson and Nancy M. (Frazier) Park. Wilson Park died when Louis was about one year old; his mother is still living with her son, and is now in her seventy-seventh year. Louis C. Park was brought up on a farm, receiving a limited education in the common schools of the county. He followed agricultural pursuits until the war broke out, when he enlisted in Company I, Twenty-sixth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, Union army, and served two years; he was honorably discharged, and in 1865 was married to Martha Z., daughter of Levy Lovelace, and to their union have been born three daughters: Nancy S (now Mrs. Allen Bell), Effie S. (wife of Elijah McCallister), and Melvina E. (living with her parents). After his marriage Mr. Park settled in Bolivar, Polk Co., Mo., where he engaged in the drug business for a number of years; he also ran a livery stable, stage line, and was engaged in various pursuits until 1874, when he returned to Franklin County, and his since been engaged in stock trading. In 1883 he bought his present homestead and farm of sixty acres, upon which he has made many improvements. He is a member of Osage Lodge, I.O.O.F., and a staunch Democrat, politically. He is one of the substantial citizens of the county, and has never aspired to office.” [4]
