 | | William F. Marks, M. D., born April 6, 1846, at West Leesport, Berks county, son of Elias and Catharine (Fink) Marks, has been a successful practitioner for forty years, thirty-eight of which-since 1871-he has spent in his adopted city of Reading. |
 | | Elias Marks, the father, was employed by the Schuylkill Canal Company until the great freshet of 1850, which destroyed the home at West Leesport, and in which is wife, one son, and three daughters lost their lives. |
 | | Under the care of his foster-father, to whom he was indentured to the age of eighteen years, William F. Marks was granted four months' schooling a year, the limit of the term in the district schools in those days, in conjunction with his labor on the farm, until he reached the age of seventeen. |
