PARK, Arzelia L. 1 2 3
- Born: Abt 1819, Waldo County, Maine
 Medical Notes:
Listed as mentally disabled on the 1850 census, but not on subsequent census records. I believe the 1850 entry was erroneous, and that she assisted with the care of her two younger brothers, John and David, who were mentally disabled.
