LOT 42 D of Mount Hope Cemetery includes the headstones of Park siblings—Fanny (Frederick) and Harry—and one Mr Bauly. Who is this Mr Bauly? What connections did he have to the Parks? Well, none, since he died in 1869, a year before the Boulton and Park scandal which (likely) caused them to emigrate to North America after the trial.
So then, who was Mr Walter Bauly? What's his story?
Mount Hope Cemetery's Burial Records state that Walter J. Bauly (spelled Bauley) was only 20 at the time of death, leaving his year of birth to be around 1848-1849. Bauly was residing in Maine at this time, though, unfortunately, I couldn't find "Walter J Bauly" on the 1860 census in Maine. I did, however, find one "John W Bawley" aged 4 during the census, but that would mean his birthdate would've been around 1845-1846. Could it be him? Who knows...
Bauly died of a brain injury in 1869 and the story, unlike his birthdate, is actually available!
On October 1 1869, Bauly's co-worker, William J Parker, struck him on the head, causing Bauly to receive fatal injuries. Parker said that he meant to strike Bauly on the shoulder since Bauly was apparently teasing him at work. Parker was taken to court, but was later exonerated from blame of Bauly's death on October 4.
I couldn't find much more on Parker, since he had a very common name, but I did find some info in regards to a WM. J. Parker (don't know if it was the same one who struck Bauly or not) residing in Rochester, NY during the 1870 census with the Low family and Jane Goodrich
