Excerpt from Edwards Amasa Park, Memorial Address The funeral of Professor Park was held on the afternoon of June 8, 1900, his death having occurred four days before at the advanced age of ninety-one. At the old brick house on the hill, where he had lived for sixty-four years, were gathered his relatives and friends for the simple service. Rev. Joshua W. Wellman, D.D., of Malden, read several of Professor Park's favorite selections from Jonathan Edwards' "Charity and its Fruits," and offered prayer. The procession then formed and walked to the Seminary Chapel, with the students of the Theological Seminary and a delegation of the students of Phillips Academy as a guard of honor at its head, and the Professors of the Seminary, together with Rev. W. L. Ropes, Professor W. B. Graves, President L. Clark Seelye, W. F. Draper, and Rev. C. C. Carpenter, as honorary bearers. At the Chapel Dr. Wellman began the services by the reading of passages of Scripture, after which Professor Park's favorite hymn "When I survey the wondrous cross" was sung most impressively by the congregation. Rev. Albert H. Plumb, D.D., of Roxbury, read the memorial address, which had been prepared ten years before by Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D.D., LL.D. It acquired an added pathos from the fact that its author lay dead in his own church in Brooklyn, and "being dead, yet spoke as only he could, in honor of the Andover theologian who had gone on but a day before him into the world of light and love."
