GEORGE M. PARK is one of six children and was born February 9, 1844, in
Marshall County, Tenn.  His parents, Hill and Nancy (Hayes) Park, were born
in Tennessee and after marriage settled on a farm in Marshall County, where
they are spending their declining years.  Hill Park is a
democrat.  George M. was educated in the common schools, and at the
breaking out of the war between the North and South he enlisted with the
Southern cause in Company H, Forty-first Tennessee Infantry.  He was
captured at the fall of Fort Donelson and was imprisoned at Camp
Morton, Ind., and Chicago, and was exchanged at Vicksburg and immediately
re-enlisted in the service, but was again taken prisoner, at Jonesboro,
Ga., and held until the close of the war.  During his four years’ service
he was only twice wounded, once at Chickamauga and once
at Jonesboro.  By his energy and good management he has become the owner of
150 acres of land, where he now lives.  He was married, in 1867, to Mary J.
Alexander, by whom he is the father of eight children-six sons and two
daughters.
