Parks died at his home March 25th, 1890, aged eighty years and three months. Deceased was born at Wakefield, Carleton County, in 1809. He moved with his parents to Fort Fairfield, Aroostook County. At that time there was no communication or any road, except along the shore, from what is now Caribou Village to Aroostook Junction, and in consequence the deceased was subject to a great many hardships and privations. His parents gave him a liberal education, and he at one time wrote some history of Fort Fairfield, in which he was aided by Mrs. A. C. Paul, and which appeared in the Aurora, a paper that was published at Fort Fairfield. His religious sentiments were Free Christian Baptist. He leaves a large connection of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. His remains were interred near his late home. Even down to old age all my people shall prove My sovereign eternal unchangeable love ; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still on my bosom be borne.
