General Notes: Husband - James Marquis

---

In 1854, he moved [from Lawrence County, Pennsylvania,?] to Illinois, and, after passing some eleven years on a farm in Kendall County, near Chicago, repaired to Aurora, where he died, in his sixty-seventh year. For nearly forty years he had witnessed a good profession, having been, for upwards of thirty years, an active, efficient Elder in the Presbyterian Church, first in the Unity Church, Presbytery of Beaver, Pennsylvania, and subsequently in the church at Oswego, Illinois. Wise and judicious in counsel, possessed of a faith settled and strong, having a clear understanding of the great doctrines of grace, and being well versed in the polity of his church, and, above all, gifted in prayer, and displaying, in his whole life, a uniform and earnest piety, he was a worthy example to all who bear rule in the church of God. His was an intelligent faith. He loved the truth, and fed upon it. He lived in the enjoyment of a clear, calm and well grounded hope, and died in the peaceful assurance of a blessed acceptance and a glorious resurrection.
