      MRS. MARY JANE MARKS
      Esteemed Lady Passed Away October 11

      Mrs. Mary Jane Marks, a well known and highly respected resident of this vicinity, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Masters, at Silverwood, on Tuesday, October 11, after a long illness.
      The funeral service was conducted in Cass City M.E. church on Thursday by Rev. W. B. Weaver, where a large concourse of friends and relatives gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased.
      Mary Jane Burns was born in Canada, May 4, 1838, and on December 21, 1859, was united in marriage to Albert Karr, and in 1867 they came to Michigan, settling in the vicinity to Karr's Corners. To this union were born six children, two of whom died in youth. Those remaining are Mrs. Henry Masters of Silverwood; Mrs. George Karr of Karr's Corners; Arthur Karr of Caro; and Charles Karr of Saginaw. Mr. Karr died in April, 1882. In 1888 Mrs. Karr was married to Walter Marks.
      Mrs. Marks was converted in youth, living a consistant useful Christian life, winning friends wherever she went by her charming personality. She was among the first to unite with the Bethel class of which she was a member at the time of her demise.
      Her last illness was a period of intense suffering continuing over many months during which she maintained a cheerful demeanor, never murmuring but always saying the Lord is good.

      It was from the Vol. 5, No. 26, Friday, October 21, 1910 issues of the Cass City Chronicle.
