Clackamas county, is another one of Oregon's honored pioneers of He was born in Harlan county, Kentucky, August 15, His Grandfather Marks came from Ireland and settled in Maryland, where his son,.john Marks (our subject's father), was born in The latter

4 was a soldier in the war of 1812, and fought in the battle of New Orleans. He married Miss Fanny Forester, a native of Kentucky, born in In 1838 they removed from Kentucky to Missouri, and nine years later, from there across the plains to Oregon, making the journey with ox teams..seven children had been born to them. One died in infancy and the others came with their parents to Oregon. They are as follows; Alexander K., Mary A., Elizabeth D., Levina. Samuel F. and Eliza Jane. Mary A. was married at this time, and her husband, Jacob Adams, came with them. The journey across the plains was of seven months duration, and was made in safety. They came direct to Clackamas county, arriving September 17, and for a mare and a yoke of oxen, valued at $400. they purchased the right to a donation claim of (140 acres of land, the only improvement upon it being a cabin. They worked out for pirovisions on which to subsist the first winter. Like most of the industrious pioneers of this State their earnest efforts were rewarded with success, and resulted in the development of a fine farm. Here the father died in 1871 and the mother in Samuel F. Marks was next to the youngest child in this family, and was fifteen years of age when he arrived in Oregon. Ho went to the district school in winter and worked on the farm in summer, and after his parents became too old to work he continued with them, and cared for them in their declining years. He inherited one-half of the donation claim. He has since added to it eighty-four acres, making 411 acres, which he now owns. This is one of the most valuable farms in the county. During the Yakima Indian war, in the spring of 1856, Mr. Marks was a volunteer under Captain Cason.. Mr. Marks was married October 10, 1858 to Miss Mary A. Abbot, a native of Illinois, born in They have had eleven children, five of whom died in infancy.. The others are.john R., of Klamath county; Rena Jane, wife of Charles Wait, and the mother of three children, died in her thirty-third year; Emma F. became the wife of Jacob Hanson, and resides in Salem; Thomas J., at home; Jacob E.at school in Portland and Bertha I. also attending school in Portland. The religious faith of Mr. and.mrs. Marks is that of the Baptist denomination. He was; in politics a Democrat previous to the great civil war, then he became a Republican, and was a strong Union man, and now he has adopted the principles of the People s Party. He has been prominent in the affairs of the county in which he has so long resided, was a charter member of the Grange, and was Master of the lodge; served on the School Board as Clerk and Director and is now a member of the Farmer s Alliance. He built the comfortable and attractive residence in which he and his good wife reside. Long may they live to enjoy the fruits of their honest and earnest labors.
