OCLC, Dec. 4, 2007 (hdg.: Marks, Albert Smith, 1836-1891; usage: Governor Marks; Hon. Albert S. Marks) Wikipedia August 9, 2023: (Albert Smith Marks (October 16, 1836 - November 4, 1891) was an American attorney, soldier and politician. Marks was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, one of seven children of Elisha Marks and Elizabeth (Lashbrook) Marks. When he was 19, Marks moved to Winchester, Tennessee, to work in the law firm of his mother's cousin, Arthur S. Colyar. He read law with Colyar, and was admitted to the bar in 1858. The firm then practiced under the name Colyar, Marks and Frizzell. Although he was a Southern Democrat, Marks was an opponent of secession. In early 1861, he ran as the pro-Union candidate for his district's representative to the state's proposed convention on secession, and canvassed with his opponent, future governor Peter Turney. When war broke out, Marks nevertheless joined the Confederate Army. Marks died at the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville on November 4, 1891.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_S._Marks> |
