 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.): April 20, 1864
Died on Sabbath morning, March 27th, at the residence of her son, near Marion,
Indiana County, Pa., Mrs. Mary Park, aged nearly 82 years. Deceased was born April
15th, 1783, near Greencastle, Franklin County, Pa. She was the third daughter of
Rev. James Lang, first pastor of the Presbyterian church, of Chambersburg, Pa., and
the last remaining member of his family. She was married on the 5th of February,
1807, by Rev. David Denny, to John Park, (who preceded her to the grave, August
10th, 1844) and with him removed to Indiana County, where she, with her husband,
united with the Gilgal congregation at its organization. She had been in regular
attendance since, never having been absent from a communion for fifty-seven years,
and was the last member of that organization. She was the mother of nine children,
all of whom survive her, and, except two, one in Illinois, and one in Washington, D.
C., were present around her dying bed to perform the last sad office, and emblem her
memory with their tears. She left over fifty grand-children and great-grandchildren,
twelve of whom went to stand in places of danger in defense of our country. Two have
fallen, and two have been wounded but are still in the service...
