--------------------------------------------------
Agnes Elizabeth Mark, (nee Schlytern), was born at Boden, Sweden, January 21st, 1851. In the fall of 1872, she accompanied her father, C. O. Schlytern, and her sister Hilda, to this country, locating on the farm two miles southwest of Dannebrog, where on the following year, they were joined by the rest of the family. Mrs. Mark remained in the old home until the fall of 1882, when she was married to John Mark, and moved to St. Paul. They later resided for some years in Dannebrog and Boelus, one year in Minnesota, and of late years in Rock Springs and Hanna, Wyo.

Mrs. Mark had been in failing health for many years, and on this account they removed to Dannebrog last spring, but she grew steadily weaker and departed this life at her home here, January 12th, 1916, after an actual illness of only a few days.

Six children were born to the family, three boys and three girls; two of the latter died during infancy. Those surviving are: Charles J., Foreman, Car Repair Shops, Northern Pacific R. R. Butte, Mont; Otto M., Railway Mail Clerk, Council Bluffs, Ia.; George A., Miner, Rock Springs, Wyo. and Mrs. M. Willoughby, Cheyenne, Wyo.

The above named, with her husband, two brothers and three sisters are left to mourn the loss of a loving, self-sacrificing mother, a faithful wife, and a devoted sister, whose memory they will ever cherish.
