NOTE .- William Henry Palmer (No. 463), son of Alexander and wife, Adelia (Billings) Palmer, was born in Stonington, Conn., Aug. 17, 1840. He graduated from Yale College and some years succeeding he spent in Cleveland, Ohio, and. afterwards in New York city, where he engaged in the study of medicine. He was valedictorian of the class of 1866 at the College of Physicians and Sur- geons in New York city. Returning to Cleveland, he commenced the practice of his profession there. Was Professor of Ophthalmology in Cleveland Medical College and visiting physician in Cleveland City Hospital. He died at Hart- ford, Conn., June 19th, 1871, of consumption. He married at Hartford six months before his death Miss Frances Collins Dec. 13, 1870.
A classmate, Mr. G. S. Merriam, has kindly furnished the following brief obituary:
"Remembrances of all his classmates as to Palmer will substantially agree, I think, differing only as some knew him more fully than others, but to all he was the same faithful, kindly, manly fellow. He was known at first as a very industrious student, who earned high rank by hard work. I remember the general surprise when this quiet scholar distinguished himself by a particu- larly audacious and successful raid against the Sophomores. He was as hearty in his enjoyment of a joke or a frolic as in his devotion to a hard lesson. He worked his way steadily upward in the scholarship list and took a Philosophical at commencement. His pleasant face, his big brown eyes, his pleasant smile and hearty laugh will come vividly back to all, telling their story of the man he was. Class of '64."

PARK FAMILY.
I. ROBERT PARK, the first of the name who appeared in this country, came from Preston, Lancashire, England; sailed from Cowes, Isle of Wight, in the ship Arabella, March 29, 1630, and landed at Salem, Mass., June 12, and at Boston June 17, 1630, with seventy-six passengers all told. He settled with his. son, Thomas, in Wethersfield, Conn., in 1640, and was Deputy to the General Court in 1641-2. He removed to Pequot, now New London, in 1649, where he resided six years, and his new barn which stood on the corner of Hempstead and Granite streets, was used as the first house of worship in the new town, and the call to service was by the beat of drum. He finally settled at Mystic in Stonington, as he was one of the men appointed by the General Court of Massachusetts to an official position, in the organization of the town of Southertown in 1658. He died, and his will was probated in March, 1665, and son, Dea. Wil- liam Park of Roxbury, Mass., was his executor. He served in the early Colonial wars. He m. Ist, Martha, daughter of Capt. Robert Chapen, in Edmundsbury, England; m. 2d, Mrs. Alice Thompson ; they were doubtless m. in Roxbury, and soon after removed to Wethersfield, Conn. We cannot say which marriage took place first, whether it was that of Robert Park with the mother, or his son Thomas, with the daughter Dorothy. His wife d. before 1660.
