MAURICE MARKS
Originally published in 1900 |
|
MAURICE MARKS was born October 23, 1871, in Jersey City, where he
still resides. He is the son of Charles Marks, a native of Germany, and
Sarah Heyman, a native of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Mr. Marks was graduated from Public School No. 1, Jersey City, in 1884, from the Jersey City High School in 1888, and from the New York University with the degree of LL.B. in 1892. He was admitted to the New York bar as an attorney and counselor in December, 1892, and to the New Jersey bar as an attorney in June, 1893, and since his admission has been actively and successfully engaged in the general practice of his profession, having offices at 170 Broadway, New York, and 76 Montgomery Street, Jersey City. Mr. Marks is a prominent Democrat, and for several years has been one of the most earnest workers in his party. His services as a campaign orator have been much sought after. He was elected to the New Jersey State Assembly in 1898 and 1899 and was re-elected in 1900, receiving on all occasions large and flattering majorities. Mr. Marks enjoys the unique distinction of having been the only Democratic Assemblyman who ever acted as Speaker while the House was Republican. He is a member of the Robert Davis Association of Jersey City, the representative Democratic organization of Hudson County, a member and Past Master of Columbian Lodge, No. 484, F. and A. M., of New York, and a member of other fraternal and benevolent organizations. Both at the bar and in politics he has gained a high reputation.
