	Eugene Marks, a successful and enterprising farmer and lumberman of 
Stevens county, 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 parents were Jacob and Fitena Marks. The father died

Minnie, Eugene and Bert. By her second husband, David Pierson, Mrs. Marks 
had one child, Dessie.
	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
