EUGENE MARKS

lives on an eligible location two miles west of Calispell. He is a native of
Waterloo, DeKalb county, Indiana, where he was born February 15, 1879. His

1893. They were the parents of four children, Frank, Minnie, Eugene and Bert.

    The public schools of Indiana, in the vicinity of our subject,
provided his education, and at the age of seventeen years he left school and
engaged in business for himself, worked in a hotel and followed other
employments. In 1901 he conducted a milk ranch near Anaconda, Montana, for
one year, subsequently disposing of the same and going to Spokane, where he
remained for a short period, and then located in Stevens county. On October
19, 1902, Mr. Marks filed on a quarter, section of timber land, cleared a
portion of the same and erected a dwelling.
    Our subject is, politically, a Democrat, and enthusiastic in the
promulgation of the doctrines of that party.
