George Park was the youngest of four children. At the time of George's birth his mother was 36 and his father 39 years of age. The birth certificate of George Park records the maiden name of his mother as Ann Wilson Atkinson. According to the US Census of April 19, 1910 the Park family was living at 48 Washington Avenue in the village of South Nyack, Orangetown, Rockland County, New York. George returned from trips to England via Ellis Island on the SS Carmania on August 7, 1907, and on the SS Baltic on May 28, 1911. Class of 59 Confirmed In his youth, George and his brother, Jimmy, spent time in their canoe on the Hudson River. In fact, the canoe in a photograph from 1921 of the crowd at Hook Mountain in Upper Nyack may be theirs. (See: https://cdm16694.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/nyacklib/id/1966/rec/4) With an IQ of a genius, George had been sent to Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, where he was a rather young member of the Class of 1922. In 1925 he was again living with his parents, who had, prior to 1922, purchased a Victorian style house at 144 South Broadway in South Nyack. (See: https://cdm16694.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/nyacklib/id/5907/rec/1) On January 18th, 1928, George married Marcia Mumford, daughter of Corolyn and John Kimberly Mumford, in Prospect Park West in Brooklyn, New York. Rev. Stanley Brown Serman performed the service held at the home of Marcia's sister, Harriet Mumford Small. Harriet's husband, George Sumner Small, gave the bride away and Harriet's son, George, was page. The couple was to reside at 2255 Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn. The Parks had 2 sons and a daughter and settled in Rockland County. George was employed as a statistician for Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, taking the "Weary Erie" on his way to and from his office in the city each day. The 1940 Census reports that the family of 5 was living at 219 Piermont Avenue, South Nyack, Orangetown, N.Y.
