Fairfield, Utah County, Utah, January 30, 1890. [Correspondence of the Deseret News]-James P. Park died at his residence in Fairfield, December 30th, 1889, after a long and painful illness, of rheumatism.
The deceased was born on December 21st, 1821, in the town of Cambuslang, near Glasgow, Scotland. He joined the "Mormons" in Canada in the winter of 1844, went to Nauvoo the following summer and was sent on a mission to Canada. He was with the Saints during the exodus from Nauvoo, and shared in the trials and persecutions which they endured. He was a member of the "Mormon" battalion. After his discharge from the government service he remained for a short time in California, and arrived in the city of the Saints in the year 1848. On the 15th of September, 1852, the deceased went on a mission to the British Isles, and was absent from home a little over five years, preaching the gospel in England, Scotland and Wales. He returned home during the October conference of 1857.
For over twenty-five years the deceased had been afflicted with rheumatism and during the latter part of his life he had been totally helpless.
Brother Park was a man who took great pleasure in laboring in the great Latter-day work. Throughout his extreme affliction his faith was never once shaken, for he had an abiding testimony concerning the truth of the work in which he was engaged. He departed this life with the full assurance of a great and glorious resurrection.
The funeral services were held in the Fairfield meeting house on January 3rd, at 2 p.m. The remarks by the speakers were very appropriate and full of sympathy. the interment took place at the cemetery.
