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.
