Edmund   Calvin   Park   apeat   the ^arly   years   of   hia  ohlldhood   with
1838, where his father practiced medicine until 1848. At that time the fpld in California attracted maay immigrants, among them the father of the subject of tbis sketeb. Takbig with him thts aamesake aoa, hopoig the open air travel would benefit his (rail health, he started for California. At Iiidependence. Mo., chhlera claimed the father among Its victims. ,He, with others of the party, were burled there. The remainder of the party went od their Journey, as to go back Waa worse than to go on. the dread diaease be¬ ing rtatra prevalent bebiod than ahead of them. Afttfr eleven long months of overland travel by ox team they reached San Francisco. By this time the party of nine who had begun the trip, had dwindled to four. Itnmedlately after reaching this coast city they started to the postoffice (or their mail and in the rush of many immigrants standing la line to get some word from their hoQies. the boy became separated (rom his four friends and never aaW them afterwards. After waiting some hours be received a letter with the postmark of his home town, Oreenville, III. With eagerness he read tbe letter, only to receive the aad news of his mother's death, she kaving lived only one week after re¬ ceiving the news that her husband had died, grief and anxiety over the young.son, having caused heart fail¬ ure.
Sad and aloae, a atranger in a strange land what to do next was the problem botdra him.
Small of stature, delicate In. ap¬ pearance, the only answer to his auestlon tor work was, "What can you do—a little fellow like youT" H* waa^hea twelve yeara af age. He saoeeeded, however, in seoaring a poaUion aa liitenireter, having ac- qaired a knowledge ot th* Spanish language during the trip; also hav¬ ing some latin (raining which was helpful to him. After speadlng a yaar in California, in the pioneer days, he came back to Illinois. HIr home was gone and his brothers and sisters were scattered. He then set out finishing his education begun under bis father's tutelage. This he completed without financial assist¬ ance, except sucb as he could after- arard repay by his own efforts. On May 24, 18S7, he was married to Bmily M. Dowler at Olney, IU., and began ihe practice of medicine at La¬ Clede, HI., where they lived unUI April 1, 1872, when they, with their three daughters, moved td Flora, III., where their son, Edwin C.
