Notes

JOSEPH JOHN MARKS

Little is recorded in the family history about Joseph John Marks. The 1880 US Census places Joseph J. Marks (age 22), Mary A. Marks (age 24), and George Marks (age 1) residing at 9 Charles Street in Utica, New York. Joseph is listed as a railroad foreman. The information in the census reflects that Joseph was born in New York, and his mother and father were born in Prusia. They were residing at 9 Charles Street, Utica, New York (appeared to be an appartment house).

Utica City Directory 1883:
Marks, Joseph engineer D. L. & W, residence 9 Charles
http://books.google.com/books?id=kOoCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA149&dq=%22city+directory%22&as_brr=1#v=onepage&q=%22city%20directory%22&f=false

The 1900 US Census reflects that there were five children, George A., Frank F., and Abbigail A., besides the two mentioned above. The couple had a total of eight children, but three died at early ages. All of the children were born in New York state. This census showed Joseph as being born in New York, the exact location is unknown. On June 16, 1900 the family was residing at #9 Franklin Street, Oneonta, New York (appeared to be an apartment house). His wife Mary Ann Fleischmann was born in Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1871.

As of the 1910 US Census his wife Mary Ann Fleishmann was a widow. There were only two children residing in the home at that time, Raymond J. Marks and Edward Charles Joseph Marks. Family history recorded by the Raymond J. Marks family revealed that Joseph John Marks was born on January 15, 1857 and died October 7, 1905. That history showed his name listed as John Joseph Marks, but death records of both George Joseph Marks and Mary Ann Marks confirm the name as Joseph John Marks. He would have been forty-eight years of age at the time of his death. Elizabeth Jane Hart recalled in 1994 that Joseph Marks worked on the railroad. Her father, Edward Charles Joseph Marks, said the he believed his father had diabetes and fell off the railroad tracks while in a diabetic comma and died. Death records later obrained confirmed Joseph Marks died of a heart condition. Edward would have been somewhere around eleven years old at the time of his father's death. Joseph Marks is buried in Oneonta, New York.

Edward Charles Joseph Marks was the only person in the family to inherit diabetes, presumably from his father. Edward developed the disease later in life and took medication for the disease until his death in 1980. No other descendant, as far as I know, developed diabetes.

February 14, 2010, In 1991 St. Mary's Church sold the St. Mary's Cemetery to A. O. Fox Hospital to make room for a parking lot. Here is a copy of the court order and the listing of those who were uninterred and reinterred at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Oneonta. The public notice and information regarding Joseph Marks and Mary Marks is as follows:

An article in the New York Times dated 8 Oct 1905 reflected that Joseph Marks had saved a train. Being the Engineer, and after being stricken, he was successful in stopping a train entering the Albany train yard. He later died and was listed at 50 years of age. This story was written as follows:

"Dying Man Saved a Train - Engineer, Stricken in his cab, put on the air brakes.

Special to the New York Times. Albany, Oct 7--Another engineer was fatally stricken today while in his cab on a 'Mother Hubbard' engine. He put on the air brakes before he became unconscious.

Joseph Marks was driving a Delaware and Hudson train from the west into this city, when it came to a dead stop just outside the railroad yards. His fireman was surprised, because he had received no signal for a stop. He jumped from his cab and hurried to the engineer's cab to find Marks lying on the floor groaning. The man was removed to the train dispatcher's office where he soon died. He was 50 years of age."

A death record received from the City of Albany confirmed Joseph Marks died on 7 Oct 1905 at age 48 years and his occupation was listed as an engineer. His father's name was John Marks and his mothers name was Elizabeth, both born in Germany. The chief cause of death was "fatty degeneration of the heart" with other causes listed as acute dilation of the heart, edema of lungs". There was no reference to diabetes as contributing to his death. The place of death was listed as McCarthy Ave., Ward 1, Albany, NY. The attending physician was J. F. Rooney, MD and the undertaker was identified as Barry Brothers. The informant for the death certificate was not given.

The graves of Mary and Joseph Marks and their daughter were moved to Mt. Calvary. The following description was receivd from St. Mary's Church, Oneonta:

We have located your family lot in our Cemetery. The Marks Family lot is in the St. Mary's Section, Lot 88. When you enter Mount Calvary Cemetery, you drive all the way up to the top. At the very top you will see an altar. To the left of the altar is the "St. Mary's Section" of Mount Calvary Cemetery. Your family lot is in the upper right part of the cemetery. There is a family monument that has the following names and dates on it:

Joseph J Marks 1857-1905
Mary A Fleischmann 1856-1931
Florence K Marks 1891-1895

The grave of J. Walter Abbey and his mother Abbigail Agnes Abbey were moved from St. Mary's Cemetery to Mt. Calvery Cemetery in Oneonta, NY. The older cemetery was sold to make room for a parking lot, and all of the gaves and markers were moved to Mt. Calvery. Both were buried next to Abby's father and mother, John Joseph Marks and Mary Ann Fleischmann. As of 10 July 2010, the headstones are in good condidition and well cared for. Abbigayle and her son's stones are flat and somewhat covered by grass.

As of July, 2010, 9 Franklin Street, Oneonta, NY was still standing. The residence had newer siding but the original foundation stones were clearly of the period the house was used during the late 1800s and early 1900s.

From tax records from Otsego, NY reflects the current house located at 9 Franklin Street, Oneonta, NY was build in 1920:
