Note for: Parks, - Index
May have committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.
Kent directories show Mrs Parks living at 98 Upper Fant Road in 1915 and
thereafter, possibly her husband had died prior to that date. The next,
earlier, directory is 1906 so it is hard to be more specific with the
dates.

Note for: William L Woollett, 24 JUN 1815 - 2 MAY 1874 Index
From an article by Austin O'Brien.
"Wollett apparently emigrated in 1834. He first appeares in an Albany
directory in 1845 when he listed himself as William L. Woollett Jr.,
Architect of the Delevan House. The Delevan House, a massive classically
inspired hotel which covered a full block on Broadway, on the current
site of Union Station, is also attributed to another local architect,
J.W. Adams, in the 1845 Albany City Guide.
As a young man and newcomer to Albany it seems likely that Woollett
worked under Adams for this major commission. The Delavan House burned
to the ground, with much death and devastation, when filled to capacity
on New Years Eve in 1894.
Like the Delavan House, many of Woolletts buildings have been lost in the
course of the past century. His best known surviving works - Our Lady of
Angels R.C. Church (1869), Emmanuel Baptist Church (1868-71), and a
delightful picturesque English Gothic chapel (or schoolhouse according to
one source) added in 1866 to the Church of the Holy Innocents - date from
the period of his partnership with Edward Ogden from 1856 to 1870.
A resident of Loudonville, Woollett designed a number of buildings
outside Albany including "Fountain Elms" in Utica (now the home of the
Oneida County Historical Society) which was completed in 1852.
A devout Methodist, he served as superintendant of the Watervliet Union
Sabbath School, Trustee of the College of Missionaries at Syracuse
University, and President of the Albany YMCA in 1859-60. He was also a
fellow of the American Institute of Architects in London. At the time of
his death Woollett was working on the Albany Savings Bank, a handsome
Italianate building, on the northwest corner of State and Chapel Streets,
which was completed in 1875 by Thomas Fuller and William M. Wollett."
Obituary says died suddenly at the residence of his brother in law J.
Woodward, 79 Ten Broeck Street. aged 58 years. "His disease was
apoplexy. On Monday night he was stricken down with a fit while in his
office and was at once conveyed for treatment to Mr. Woodwards. But
medical aid was without avail. From a previous attack of the same
disease, which took place about a year ago, it is thought he never fully
recovered. His funeral will take place from the Methodist Church on
Pearl Street tomorrow afternoon." Albany Morning Express 21 May 1874.
A reference in "History of the County of Albany" gives Woollett, William
L, 2 May 1815 - 2 April 1874 and states that he left England at the age
of nineteen to emigrate to America.
