   "After their marriage, Henry and Sarah lived in Fall Creek (Adams County) for the birth of their first child, but moved to Swan (Warren County) for the births of their next seven children. Tragically, they lost two of their sons at a very young age. John Crawford Park was born on March 2, 1856, and died on January 19, 1860. He suffered from a disease of the throat for three months prior to his death. George Elza Park was born on January 30, 1859, and died on October 6, 1859. His cause of death was listed as inflammation of the bowel. It is quite possible that George died of Typhoid fever, which was going through the area at the time of his death. Six other individuals died of similar symptoms during September and October 1859 in this small community. The deaths of both George and John are recorded in the Illinois Mortality Schedule (Swan Township, Warren County) for the year ending June 1860."
