Col. Samuel f. Marks.

The death of Col. Marks took place at
Brashear City On the 18th of October.
The deceased hns for more then a quarter
of a century been one of the leading citi-
gems of Louisiana. In 1916 he commanded
q company of volunteers from the Baton
Rouge Parishes, in one of the gallant Regi-
ments Louisiana sent to the aid of Gen.
Taylor in Mexico. He was a prominent
politician and often served the Democratic
Legislature and was for several years Au.
ditor of State. During the late war he was
Col. of the 18th La, and it was his regi-
mcnt that crossed the Mississippi River
at Belmont, Missouri, under the fire of the
enemy and gained SO complete a victory
over the Federal troops commanded by
Gen. Grant.
As he landed his regiment, some one told
him that the Confederates were being de-
>feated he replied, as he gave the word to
bis men to charge, "that the 18th La,
was not yet whipped" He commanded
a Brigade for a short time during the siege
at Corinth, and his command was holly en-
gagged at Shiloh and Pennington. !
At hattanoogs, his regiment was
merged into others as the army advanced
into Kentucky and we are not aware
whether the Colonel took any further part
in the war. Since the close of the contest,
the gallant old gentleman has been residing
at Brast.ear endeavoring to earn a support
for his closing years. Peace to his memory.
