HON. E.P. MARKS.
New Edinburgh, Ark., Feb. 15th, 1898.--Mr. Evan P. Marks
died of heart disease at the Clements hotel last Saturday afternoon.
He death was very sudden and was a great shock to the community.
Mr. Marks came to his store as usual Saturday morning, but
complained of not feeling well. At about 10 o'clock he was seized
with severe pains and started home, but was unable to go farther than
the hotel. He was put to bed, a doctor was summoned and every
available means was used to relieve the stricken man but
to no effct. At about 2 o'clock he passed quietly away. For these
many years he had lived and labored with and for his people, but God
put forth his hand and the pendulum of life ceased to vibrate and E.P.
Marks passed from the walks of men to that beyond the grave.
The deceased has served his country as a soldier, as a public
officer, and as a privte citizen. As a soldier, he followed the banner
of the Lost Cause for four years, being at the end captain of his
company; as a public officer, he served as legislator, county and
circuit clerk, and lastly as a member of the Board of State Charitable
Institutions. In every capacity of life he served with distinguished
ability. He was a man whom his people delighted to honor and was
often solicited to be a candidate for office, but he persistently
declined and only accepted a public trust from a sense of public duty.
He leaves a wife and five daughters, three of whom are married,
to mourn his loss, and his death is a sad shock to them. But the loss
is not confined to his family. While we bow in sympanthy with those
who were nearest to him, the community feels a deep sense of loss.
The remains were interred at the cemetery Monday afternoon in
the presence of the largest assembly of people who ever attended a
funeral at this place. All business was suspended and everybody
joined in doing honor to him who had been a honor to them.

We open the forms to chronicle the death of Mrs. Margaret Marks which
occured at New Edinburg yesterday.May 7, 1913
IN MEMORIAM:MARGARET ELIZABETH MARKS #2 of 3
Died at New Edinburg, Ark., April 22, 1913, Mrs. Margaret ElizabethMarks.
Why Death what dost thou here this time of year? Peach blow and apple
blossoms clouds white. Warm winds the west cradling the _?_. Sweet are and
_?_-- sweet are all sounds of _?_, But thou--thou ugly thing--what doeth
thou here?
Yes it was in the happy springtime when all earth is smiling, when the
roses, fresh with their dewy splendor, the violets and hawthorne blooming,
that the Destroyer invaded the joyous household of Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth
Marks and laying his hand upon her heart--it was still.
"It may be in the morning, Ere the dew is on the grass, when
The little birds are singing their Welcome when they pass;
Ere the sound of busy thousands Is heard upon the street,
I will listen for her coming--For the coming of her feet".
The Master called her, and laying the burdens of life at His feet, she
obeyed, calmly, as one "who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams". She could smile at Death's approach andsay,
"When I awake, opening the gates of righteousness, that I may go in and
give thanks unto the Lord."
Every life has two aspects--sunshine and shadow, prosperity andadversity.
As the beloved daughter, the petted sister, the adored wife of the manof
her choice, the proud mother of beautiful children, through all the glare
of prosperity, in which beauty, love, wealth, and social standing combined
to enthrone her, there was an unfailing amiability and consideration for
others, an unswerving righteousness that distinguished her highest thought
and action, and stamped their impress on her features as lines carved on a
gem in intaglio. Later, when the storms of life invaded her luxurious
repose; when parents, husband had been taken from her, and she was left
frosted with years, and blanched with sorrow, but still beautiful in
character, she was spared the pearls from among her scattered jewels--her
children.
"And in the night I know the lonely wind
Shall sigh of her, the restless ocean moan
Her name with immemorial murmurings,
The sad and golden summer moon shall mourn
With me, and through the gloom of rustling leaves,
The shaken throats of nightingales shall bring
Her dear voice back."
Receiveng herself, the best college education and reared in a refined
home, she was fitted to bring up the children whom God had given her, and
having the crown of seventy-one years' earthly pilgimage, she was able to
see them in point of education and noble womanhood, reach or even surpass
her most sanguine expectations. Four children survive her, Mrs. L.A.
Mosley, Mary, Margaret and William David Marks, and to these survivingones
and to the lonely brother let me say:
"Measure thy life by loss instead of gain, For love's strength standeth in
love's sacrifice, And whoso suffers most hath most to give, And if
impatient thou let slip thy cross, Thou wilt not find it in this world
again, Nor in another; here and here alone Is given thee to suffer mostfor
Christ's sake."
Many friends came to minister unto the dear one in her last illness, and
none came who could not recount some deed of love and kindness bestowed by
her upon them.
Everything that could be done was done for her recovery. The bestmedical
skill __?__trained nurse, and every __?__ that could be procured was hers.
but the tired brain would fain find rest, and as the morning sunshine
streamed in through the window casting a halo upon the couch where lay the
dying form, I grant, that although reason dethroned, caused from the dread
disease that had clutched her in it's throes, in her last visions and
dreams, her soul arose to Pisgah's top, and she beheld beyond the swelling
flood. "Sweet fields arrayed in living green, and rivers of delight."
The resurrection was her hope. She had kept the faith that she would
received the gift of eternal life at the coming and appearing of her Lord.
The dear remains were laid by the side of those of her noble husband,the
late W.D. Marks in the Marks old burying ground near New Edinburg.
"Down the stream where the tide is clearer,
Farther on where the shores are fair,
Will be the precious forms we would fain be nearer,
The names we have breathed in a voice of prayer."
One who loved her.MRS. M.E. MARKS #3 of 3
Mrs. M.E. Marks died of Brights disease lst Wednesday at about 8 a.m.
after an illness of only a few days. Aged 72 years she was a native of
this county having been born a few miles north of New Edinburg, in theyear
1841. Her brother, J.B. Frazier, claims the distinction of being theoldest
living white person having been born in the bounds of Cleveland (at that
time Union) County. He was born in 1831 a few miles north of New Edinburg.
Mrs. Marks was a lady of many noble traits of character and was possessed
of a disposition that made her beloved by all who were associated withher.
She was in communion with the Christadelphian church for many years
previous, and at the time of her death. Her hopes were in Christ and the
resurrection. Her body was laid to rest beside the grave of her husbandwho
proceeded her by about thirty years. Her grave was covered over until it
appeared to be a mound of flowers instead of a mound of earth. Rev. J.P.
Snipes conducted short funeral exercises at the grave in the presence of a
large crowd of sympathizing friends. At the request of the family the 23d
Psalm was sung in the following meter.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I'll not want, He makes me down to lie, In
pastures green He leadeth me, the quiet waters by. My soul He dothrestore
again, and me to wake doth make, Within the path of rightousness, Even for
His own name sake. Yea tho, I walk through deaths dark vale, Yet will I
fear no ill, For Thou art with me and Thy rod, And staff me comfort still.
Goodness and mercy all my life, Shall surely follow me, And in God's house
forever more, My dwelling place shall be.
Mrs. Marks left four daughters, Mrs. L.A. Mosley, Mary, Margaret and
Willie Marks and a brother besides quite a number of other relatives to
mourn her departure, and we can only commend these to the love and care of
the Saviour for comfort in this sad hour. New Edinburg, Ark.

W.D. ATTWOOD
Mr. W.D. Attwood, Sr., of New Edinburg, Ark., died at his home Oct.10th, 1914 at 8:45 p.m., after an illness of several months duration.
The subject of this sketch was born in Newberry district in the stateof S.C. about the year 1855, and was therefore in the 59th year of hisage. His parents moved to this county the year after the war in companywith a number of families who lost their fortunes during the civil warand started for the west in in quest of a new country where life might bestarted anew under more favorable circumstances. Some of these familiesstopped in Tenn. and Mississippi, but Mr. Attwood selected ClevelandCounty and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Coot Attwood in SmithTownship, where he reared a large family consisting of six sons and onedaughter. Three of these sons, viz., G.C., Noble, Coot and the sister,Mrs. Batchelor, of Rison, still survive.
W.D. Attwood came to Edinburg to work in a store about the year 1878,and later formed a partnership with the late E.P. Marks and went into amercantile business.
In the year 1883 he married a daughter of his business partner, and tothis union was born six children, five sons and one daughter. Four sonsviz., E.T., E.M., Grady and Finch, and the daughter, Mrs. M.P. Grantham,are still living. Mrs. Attwood died in Sept., 1911.
In May of this year Mr. Attwood was married a second time to MissMargaret Marks, a teacher of marked ability, who was kind and devoted toMr. Attwood during the few months they were permitted to live together.
In the year 1898 Mr. E.P. Marks died and W.D. Attwood bought out theinterest of his estate in the mercantile business and continued businessuntil his death. He was successful in business and accumulatedconsiderable wealth during his career as a merchant. But he was liberaland gave of his substance unsparingly to help promote the interest of thepublic.
The pople of New Edinburg and vicinity owe him a debt of gratitude forthe interest he took in the upbuilding of the school at that place. Hedonated three acres of land for the building and gave $300 in cash,without which it would have been impossible to have erected such abuilding.
He was never identified with any church, but did his part towardssupporting such institutions.
He belonged to the W.O.W. at this place, having joined as a chartermember about twelve or fifteen years ago, and always took an interest inthe functions of the lodge, and no doubt will be greatly missed at themeetings.
He was buried by the side of his former wife at the family buryinggrounds on the evening of Oct. 11th in the presence of the largestcongregation ever seen at a funeral at that place.
The religious exercises were conducted by Rev. J.P. Snipes, pastor ofthe Presbyterian church, and consisted of scripture reading, prayer,appropriate remarks and singing the following verses of Psalm 39.
"My end and length of days, to me O Lord unveil,
that I may know in all my way, How weak I am and frail.
Lord thou hast made my years, To measure but a span:
As naught to Thee my age appears, How vain at best is man.
I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace
A Pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place.
Spare Lord and strength bestow, My fainting soul restore,
Ere I to dust and darkness go, And be on earth no more."
After the religious exercises comrades of Hackberry Camp buried theirdeceased brother with the honors of their lodge to await the resurrectionmorning when we are taught by the Word of God; all men, nations, tonguesand Kingdoms shall be called forth to be judged according the record oftheir lives while here on earth.
May the bereaved ones be comforted in this sad hour by the thoughtcontained in the following:
"Those that are broken in heart, And troubled in their mind,
He healeth, and their painful wounds, He tenderly up binds."
J.H. Hunter.
