Notes for William Pleasant Marks:

From "Portrait and Biographical Album of Knox County, Illinois," Biographical Publishing Company of Chicago, 1886:

 

WILLIAM P. MARKS

William P. Marks is a farmer residing on Section 9, Cedar Township, Knox County Illinois.

He was born in this township June 19, 1841, on section 9, where he still resides with his family, and is the son of Benjamin and Mary (Bishop) Marks, both natives of Kentucky.  They came here in 1835 and settled right here where William P. still lives, and both died on this place.  The date of Mr. Marks’ father’s birth is unknown, but his demise took place in 1845.  His mother was born in 1811 and died in 1878 in this township.  By the happy marriage there were seven children - Lavina, Benjamin, Mary A., Serilda, William P., Wayne B., and Penelope.  The two latter are dead.  Five of those children are still living, each being happily married.

Mr. William P., the subject of this sketch, married Miss Mary E. McCoy in Knox County, she having been born July 14, 1847, in Highland County, Ohio, as is the daughter of Harlem and Jane (Wise) McCoy, natives of Virginia and Ohio respectively.  His birth took place Nov. 22, 1818, and he still lives in Orange Township, this county.  She was born Jan. 14, 1825, and by this happy union there were six children - Salina E., Mary E., Kerzerta A., Eliza J., Christopher A. and James W.

The children of Mr. Marks, the gentleman whose name heads this biography, are eight in number and all living.  Wilbert F., born Nov. 1, 1866; William A., Aug. 28, 1869; Mary J., June 30, 1872; Lavina A., Jan. 20, 1875; Waldon A.; Aug 25, 1877; Warren P., March 3, 1880; Wilber E., Dec. 1, 1882; and Wilson H., June 28, 1885.  Mr. Marks’ estate consists of 200 acres of fine land, all situated in this township.  In 1884 he erected a very desirable barn, 48 x 58 feet.  He possesses 30 head of cattle of the Polled Angus breed, and 50 head of graded and shorthorns.  He is also breeding the Black Hawk and Messenger roadsters, the latter of which he has four head; besides these he is breeding some English Draft and Clydesdales.  From the care and general watchfulness which this gentleman bestows upon his stock, he is likely in the near future to produce some splendid specimens of highly bred cattle and horses.

Marks, Benjamin

The following data is extracted from Illustrated History of Union and Wallowa Counties.

A stanch and sturdy pioneer of the western country, commendable and loyal and patriotic as a citizen in all his relations since, a faithful member of society, and a progressive agriculturist and stockman of the Imnaha country now, the subject of this brief article is eminently fitted to be represented in any volume that purports to detail the lives of the pioneers and the leading men of the county, consequently it is with pleasure that we accord space for mention of the salient points in an eventful and interesting career in which our subject has universally manifested virtues of a high moral order and displayed both integrity and capabilities of rare worth.

On January 14, 1840, Mr. Marks was born in Jackson County, Missouri, being the son of Bluford and Martha W. (Moore) Marks, natives of Kentucky and prosperous agriculturists in Missouri at the date given above.  The first thirteen years of our subject’s life were spent in his native place, where he received a good training in the schools, and then in company with his parents he came across the plains with ox teams, escaping the bloodshed so common among the immigrants of that time, but in no wise being free from the hardships and deprivations that were incident to such a stupendous undertaking.  In due time the weary immigrants rested their teams in Linn county, and taking advantage of the laws of the country they took one-half section of land and devoted themselves to subduing it and making a home and a good farm.  In 1873, having removed to Crook County, the father died, but the mother is still living in Grants Pass, this state, with her daughter, Mrs. J.J. Fryer.  Our subject remained with his father until twenty-two years had crowned his life and then he set sail on life’s sea for himself, going first to John Day county, where he mined for three years and then returned to Willamette valley and with the proceeds of his labor purchased a farm in Linn county.  Until 1883 he continued on this farm, being numbered as one of the successful and prosperous tillers of the soil in Linn County.  Then he sold out and repaired to Gilliam County, taking a preemption claim, and working at the blacksmith trade until 1889.  Then he determined to secure some of the fertile soil in the Imnaha country for his own, and accordingly came hither and homesteaded his present place of one-quarter section.  In addition to this, he has a farm on the Snake River and is engaged in stock raising and farming, being attended with his accustomed good success in his endeavors.  The people of the country have taken advantage of the ability and sagacity and faithfulness of Mr. Marks and have kept him in the justice’s chair for two terms since he has resided there, and to his credit be it said that he has faithfully discharged the duties of this office and has also displayed an ability and uprightness in dispensing justice that have won the esteem of his constituents and the confidence of all.

Mr. Mark’s married Miss Elizabeth, daughter of A.P. and Unity (Vulgemore) Nye, pioneers of Linn County in 1851, the wedding of our subject occurring on January 21, 1866.  A goodly fruitage of fourteen children has been the heritage of this happy union, and the names of the children are as follows: Thomas O.: Lydia, deceased: Annie, Samuel, deceased: Mammie, deceased: Clem, Nettie, Alfred, Jacob, Charles, Minnie, Ira, Archie and Roy.  Mr. Marks is one of the patriarchs of the land and his bright example of unswerving integrity and sound principles with uprightness in his life commend him to all lovers of good and make him eminently worthy to be followed.
