  MRS. JANETTE D. BLANCHARD was born in Weston, Vermont, May 20, 1839. Her
maiden name was Park, and the family history runs back to the time of the Norman
Conquest, when Thomas de Park, baronet, was granted lands in the north of
England. Among his descendants were Sir Daniel Park, founder of the Park-Custis
family of Virginia, and Sir Robert Park, who was knighted by Queen Anne for
being the first to inform her of the victory of Blenheim. Sir Robert Park came
to America in 1750 and settled in Connecticut, and he was the
great-great-grandfather of Mrs. Blanchard. The latter came with her parents to
Vernon, Wis., in 1855, and to Black Earth the next year. She attended the Haskal
University and later taught in the village and at East Troy, where, in 1861, she
married Dr. C. S. Blanchard. They remained in East Troy until 1891, except one
year spent in California. Dr. Blanchard was Supervisor of his town and also a
member of the State Legislature. In 1891 they removed to Mazomanie:, where he
died in 1893. The children are: Dr. C. W. Blanchard, who resides at Black Earth;
Frank P. Blanchard, Racine, Wis.; Mrs. Scott, Mazomanie; Dr. A. C. Blanchard,
Linden, Wis.
