Obituary	LIEUT. CLIFFORD PARK DEAD Young Dexter Officer Makes Supreme Sacrifice for His Country George Park, manager of the Dumbarton mills, received a cablegram, Saturday noon that conveyed the news of the death in France from pneumonia, of his son, Lieut. Clifford Park of the United States Aviation Corps. The cable was sent by a close friend of Lieut. Park. The fact of the young man's death came as the greater shock to his parents, as they had not known that he was ill. Lieut. Park, who came to this town from Connecticut with his parents, 15 years ago, was one of the youngest flyers of the service of the United States in the present war, as he was but 20 years of age. Following his attendance at the local schools, he entered Worcester academy. Upon the declaration of war with Germany, he evinced a great desire to serve his country and enlisted in the Aviation corp. He was sent to the aviation training field at Mount Clemens, Michigan, for training and later after completing his course, was sent to Mineola, N. Y. He sailed for France in August and he has been in active service. Letters received from him by his parents since his arrival overseas, have been cheerful and show him to be full of courage and deeply interested in aeronautics and eager for the chance to do his full share in the air for his country. His reputation among his fellow flyers was charac- terized by ability and courage. The news of his death is much regretted by friends in this town, where they had been admiring the boy for his in- tense desire and determination to do his part in the great war. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Miss Evelyn and Miss Louise Park, of this place.
