NInety-six.
(Speclal to The Times-DIspatch.) .
PETERSBURG, VA., September, 14.?Mr
Samuel H. Marks, j one of Petersburg's
most honored and esteemed cltizens, dled

taken suddenly worBo to-nlght.
Mr. Marks waa born In Prlnce George
county a short dlstance from Petersburg,
almoat ln slght of tho clty on the 6th
day of March, 1808. AVhen about flfteen
years of.age he camo to Petersburg and
nccepted a olerkshlp In a confectlonerjr
Btore.
In 1802, whon he became of age, he
went lnto the confectlonery buslnesB for
hlmself, which he contlnuod untll the firBt
part of 1S97, making sovonty-throe yoan.
In all that he was ln buslness ln tlils
city, slxty-seven years ot which tlme
ho waa in buslness for hlmself, During
these years he bullt up an Immonse whole
salo trade ln fruits, candies, tobacco,
havlng tho most completo houso In Vlr?
glnla, If not in the South and hls estab
lishment waa a household word all over
the Southern States.
Probablv no man ever dld business In
FctorBburg that ls moi e wldely known
in Southside Vlrglnla. and North and
South Carollna. In 1S24 when Marquls de
Lafayette vlslted tlils town Mr. Marks
then a boy was In llne wlth the "cltizens
on foot" to do honor to that hero. Mr.
Marks was a member of the old Peters?
burg Dragoons1 and in 1830 took part with
hls company ln the Nat; Turner lnsur
rection. He was the only survlvor of that
noble hand. ... ...
, Mr. Marks wns probably the oldest
Odd-Fellow In the State. if not in this
country. He becamo a member about
1835 of Monroe Lodge of Odd-Fellows,
of Petersburg, and a few years thercafter
about sixty years ago, he wlth others,
organlzed the present notable and flour
Ishing Appomattox Lodge of Odd-FeLlows
of this clty, and Mr. Marks was elected
Its flrst (noble grand) presldlng officcr.
Mr. Marks was for many years one of
the dlrectors of the Stnte Bank of A'lr
glnla, which stood on Bank Street on the
slte of the present Academy of Muslo, .
and at death the only surviving dlrector
of. that bank.. . ,.'_.
After the old historlc theatre on'Boiling
brook Street was de3troyed by flre about
1850 it was rebuilt as Phoenlr Hall and
Mr. Marks becamo the purchaBer.
Notwithstanding hls advanced age, Mr.
Marks was often seen on the streets tlll
a few weeks ago. He has been honored
and respected In this community through?
out hls llfe. Two sons survive hlm.
