JOHN D. MARKLEY

  John D. Markley, born in Barbour County, W.Va., Nov. 15, 1861, died at his 
home in Markleysburg, Pa., July 3, 1941, in his 80th year.  He had been in poor 
health during the last three years and was bedfast during the last 16 months of 
his life.  His death was caused by heart disease and hardening of the arteries.  
His wife died in 1930, and he was cared for in his own home during the latter 
years of his life by his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Markley.
  The deceased was for many years a prominent citizen of the Markleysburg 
community, and some of his forebears figured prominently in the early history of 
Salisbury and vicinity.  He is survived by these children: Mrs. Alex Johnson of 
Meyersdale, and C. R. Markley of Markleysburg.  He is also survived by one 
brother and three sisters, namely: M. R. Markley of Charleston, W.Va.; Miss 
Delilah Markley of Dunbar; Mrs. Hattie Phillips of Uniontown, and Mrs. Beatrice 
Burns of Chicago, Ill.  Among other near surviving relatives is Mortician 
Stanley M. Thomas of Salisbury, under whose direction the funeral services were 
conducted at the Markley home, last Sunday, by Rev. B. B. Ludwick and interment 
was made in the Thomas Cemetery.
