Son of Mark Fischer and Elizabeth Graves Finks. He married Nancy Elizabeth Avery 20 Oct 1864 in Henry Co, MO. They are the parents of Arthur Wayman, Walter Lee, William Avery, Howard Preston, Norman Mark, Henry Freelan and Edna Emma (Slack).
Clinton MO - Fisher Finks was found dead in his bed by his wife about six o¹clock Monday morning. He had been in poor health for several years and almost helpless. He had been much worse the last few weeks, but up in his chair part of the time. Sunday, however, he had been in bed all day, but was no worse, when his wife retired. Mark Fisher Finks was born September 10, 1834, in Madison county, Virginia, and came with his parents to Henry county in 1838. He was educated here and grew to manhood. He married Nancy Elizabeth Avery, October 20th, 1864. Six children were given to this union, three of whom survive to comfort the dear mother - Avery Finks, at Mena, Arkansas; Mrs. Jas. Slack, south of Calhoun and Harry Finks, of Clinton. He leaves two brothers, Will and M. D. Finks, both of Calhoun; and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Legg, of Calhoun; and Mrs. W. W. Adamson, of Montrose. Mr. Finks was one of the leading farmers and stockmen of Henry county, owning a fine 280 acre farm west of Calhoun, with his home on a sightly location, which commends a view of the entire countryside. In his younger days he delighted in raising the best products and always contributed a large portion of exhibits to the county fairs. His livestock also took many prizes. He was converted many years ago and was a devout member of the Calhoun Baptist Church, raising his children to be faithful followers of the Master. He served Henry county as County Judge for two terms a number of years ago. He was a stock holder in the Farmers Elevator, also in both of the Calhoun banks. He was good, kind and true, never a word of reproach was heard of him or by him. His life is one worthy of emulation and all his children and grandchildren are proud to bear his name. He had been nearly helpless for several years and during that time he had had much sorrow, seeing his children, who had been in apparent good health be suddenly stricken as his son, Walter, died but a few months ago. His youngest son, Harry, is now in a Kansas City hospital, having just a few days previous undergone an operation for appendicitis. May the comforter come to this dear wife and his children in this time of sorrow. The funeral services were conducted at the Calhoun Baptist church Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. Burial in the Calhoun cemetery.
