General Notes: Husband - Robert A. Marks

---

He was reared and educat­ed in his native township and when twenty-three years of age he entered into partner­ship with his brother W. J. Marks, under the style of W. J. Marks & Brother, in a general store at Glade Mills, PA. Later, J. P. Whiteside succeeded W. J. Marks and the firm style became Marks & Whiteside, which continued until 1902, when Mr. Marks bought Mr. Whiteside's interest and carried on the business alone until August, 1907, when he sold out to A. I. Aber. For some fifteen years Mr. Marks was inter­ested in the oil producing business but he has severed his connection with this line of industry along with others, in Middle­sex Township. He was one of the leading Republicans of Middlesex Township and has served in the offices of school director, clerk and treasurer of that township, and had he sought other positions of a political nature, could easily have secured them.
