Obituary - Gillette

Taken from the Ironton Tribune 06 Jan. 1936

Mrs. Mary E. Gillette, eighty years old, who died yesterday afternoon at the home of her son Dr. Arthur E. Gillette, in Cincinnati, was buried today in Rome, Ohio Cemetery following funeral services at 3:30 o'clock at the Proctorville Methodist Episcopal Church with Rev. R. W. Cochran officiating. Surviving besides the son are one daughter, Mrs. Edwin (Linnie) Saunders of Columbus, Ohio; a brother, John Marks; and one sister Mrs. John (Fannie) Sayre of Huntington; eleven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Note: Mary Elizabeth Marks was the daughter of Jesse and Cynthia Neff Marks. Also note, I believe the obituary is incorrect in naming the surviving brother. It should read Jacob Marks, not John.
