W. G. Park Sleeps and Never Awakes 
Brother of D. E. Park of Ebensburg Dies at His Pittsburg 
Home
An Active Life Closed

William G. Park of Pittsburg, Chairman of the Crucible 
Steel Company, one of the best known steel men in the 
country and a brother of David E. Park, who spends the 
summer months in Ebensburg, died at his home on the 
Northside, Pittsburg, Thursday afternoon.

Scarcely knowing an hour of sickness in his life, about 
noon Tuesday Mr. Park, who was in his office in the Frick 
building, complained of a pain about his heart. He returned 
to his home in company with his brother, David E. Park, and 
arriving there, said he felt much better. He laid down on 
his couch and was soon asleep.  David E. Park returned to 
the city, but before he reached his offices, William G. 
Park was dead. Neuralgia of the heart is assigned as the 
cause of death.

The dead Pittsburger was the son of James Park, Jr. and 
Sarah Park, who were among the early residents of 
Pittsburg.  Besides his brother, D. E. Park, the dead man 
is survived by a number of other brothers and sisters. The 
deceased was born March 20, 1849.
