Mark, Morris, Herkimer, was horn in Germany and came to this country before the
late war.  After clerking for about a year in New York city he joined the 
French Regiment as private, which was organized in the city then and was sent 
immediately to the seat of war. This regiment was cut to pieces and the few 
survivors were transferred to the United States Regular Army, Light Battery 
Division (or Flying Artillery). During his service here he participated in 
forty-two actual battles. After the war he went to Amsterdam, N. Y. He engaged 
in mercantile pursuits and established a small hoop-skirt factory. In 1872 he 
moved to Herkimer on account of water power and in connection with the hoop-
skirt factory started a small knitting mill. Business has grown to large 
proportions and now employs 327 hands and supplies the wholesale trade through 
jobbers. The business is now a joint stock concern, of which Mr. Marks is 
president.   He married Miss Annie Sannet of Saratoga and has four children.
