On Monday of this week occurred the death of
David L. Marks, who lived west of Reynolds, just across the line in Thayer
County.
He was one of the oldest settlers in this locality, having taken up a
homestead in 1865 on the spot where he resided until his death.
He was a son
of Rev. Marks, who was a noted character in early pioneer days.
David Marks was 67 years old, and a veteran of the civil war.
