Obituary	The following account of the late Mark Jennings, brother of S. D. Jennings and Horace Jennings, we take from The Business Index printed at Festus, Missouri : "Squire Mark C. Jennings, who was taken with la grippe New Years, which developed into pneumonia, died Thursday at 9: 20 a. m. Three weeks ago his death was considered a certainty, but he rallied and until four days ago was considered out of danger. But he was 73 years old and had the bronchitis, and died at last through sheer weakness and want of vitality. Mr. Jennings was a native of Maine, but came west about forty years ago. He first settled in St. Louis, where he engaged in the lumber business, but after a few weeks moved to Washington county and began to teach school. After a few years he returned to St. Louis, but not liking it there, came to Jefferson county where he has since resided. Up to two years ago he taught school. He was a good, efficient teacher and was elected County Superintendent of Schools for several terms. Two years ago he was appointed Justice of the Peace, in which capacity he served up to the time of his death. He was the youngest child of a family of live brothers and one sister, of whom Stephen and Horace and his sister, Maria, all of Dexter, Maine, survive him. One brother, Benjamin, died here three years ago, and another, Charles, at the family home in Dexter. Mr. Jennings was twice married, first to Miss Jane Hearst of Potosi, by whom he had five children, Helen, married to Mr. Hyatt, now living near Hematite; Miss Alice, who is at home; Belle, married to Mr. Bage, also living near Hematite; Mary, now married to Mr. Luckey, the efficient Marshal of this city, and Horace, who died about twenty years ago. His first wife died about 1861, and several years after he married her sister, Isabella, who survives him, by whom he had three children, Ida, who married Mr. McCormack and died here about two years ago, and Misses Chessie and Anna, both living at home. He was a man of strong integrity of purpose, and was esteemed by all who knew him. He passed away peacefully, with a strong religious faith in his future, and at peace with all the world.
