- CAPT. LOUIS L. MARKS. -
Capt. Louis Leoferick Marks was born in Petersburg, Va., on May 13, 1837; and after a long life of usefulness and activity, full of good and kind deeds, suddenly "ceased at once to work and live" on Sunday morning, January 30, 1910, at his home in the city of his birth, where his gracious personality had most favorably and indelibly impressed itself upon every one of every class of the community.
A graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with honors in 1858, he was called instinctively by his companions from business with his brother-in-law, James D. Maney, to lead them in the field when companies were called for in 1861. He entered the service as First Lieutenant of the Eight Grays, one of the six volunteer companies going out from Petersburg in April, 1861, which company became C of the 12th Virginia Regiment, Mahone's (afterwards Weisiger's) Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. He was appointed Adjutant of this regiment, and served until the reorganization of the army, on May 1, 1862. In June, 1862, he was made Captain of his old company, serving with gallantry and distinction in the many engagements of the army until disqualified for field service by a severe wound in the battle of Second Manassas, August 30, 1862. After sufficiently recovering he was appointed Assistant QuarterMaster for the collection of "tax in kind" at Petersburg. Va., in which position he continued until the evacuation of that place. He surrendered with the Army of Tennessee, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, at Greensboro, N.C., April 26, 1865.
He was an energetic business man, and was actively engaged in the coal and lumber business until his death. He was an officer of Washington Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South, invariably attending the Annual Conferences as a member of the Board of Finance, and he was Treasurer of the Virginia Conference for a number of years. He was superintendent of the Sunday school of that Church for thirty years.
He was instrumental in the erection of the building for the Young Men's Christian Association, and was President of the Association for ten years. He was a prominent Mason, and served as Secretary of Powhatan Starke Lodge from its organization, in 1870, until his death. He was a Past Commander of A.P. Hill Camp, No. 1, United Confederate Veterans, and was always a delightful member of its camp fires.
Pleasant recollections of his genial kindliness and eminent usefulness as friend and citizen soften the anguish of regret to the community as well as to his beloved wife, who survives him, with an only sister, Mrs. James D. Maney, of Nashville, Tenn. His work is done; and whether it was in directing the pickets on the firing line in battle, in the social amenities of everyday life, or in pointing out the way of moral excellence to the students of his Bible class for right and successful living in the great arena of civic righteousness, it was well done.
