I think this Jack D Marks date of death is 29 May 1978 (from the Middle Fork cemetery listing on Genealogy Trails). I haven't found his obit - but it's on the list at the FAGS library- in case anyone is nearby. There was also a Jack Marks who died in 2006 whose obit appears in the Marion newspaper. Debbie V.
