*The
date progression suggest that Mary E. Marks died 1856 and Carroll M Marks married again to Mary A.E. (?)
Marks. Carroll M. d. 1900 & Mary E (Mary A.E.?) Marks d. 1907, both are buried
in the Marks Cemetery 1/2 mile from here on Blooming Grove Rd.. OK this needs a
little more proof as in Maiden names and marriage records.
Crumbled footstone probably for Mary E. Marks: 6949
Footstone no inscription. Believe it is for Daniel Edward Marks: 6955
Unknown crumbled small marker. A tulip flower planted beside it:
6991
Perhaps an old slate marker - fallen - no inscription:
6992
All of the graves lye to the east of the headstone and between the headstone and
footstone in this graveyard though some of the head & footstones are misplaced
