Jefferson Democrat 15 DECEMBER 1882
DIED - December 5, 1882, at his residence in Joachim township, this county, William PARKS, M.D., aged 63 years, 1 month and 23 days. Dr. PARKS was born in Carlisle, Pa.  He has resided in this county the past 23 years. He was a faithful servant in his profession, and had the friendship and esteem of all who knew him.  His last words were: "I am going! I am going!" When asked whereto, he pointed upward.  His funeral was preached by the writer and, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a goodly number of his friends assembled to hear and to pay the last tribute of respect to a departed friend.  He leaves a companion in feeble health, and four children - two young men and two young ladies - to mourn the loss of a kind father. They have the sympathy of all.
