6 OCT 1984 LETTER FROM KATHLEEN BURKE, 167 BELLEVUE STREET, ELIZABETH, NJ 07202


Dear Mrs. Kerr, No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me unless you have recently spoken to Mrs. (Keimig) Kerwin. I had a nice visit with her recently. I thought many times of contacting her and I finally did. I remembered her & her mother living next. My name was Kathleen Lynch (now it's Burke) when I worked for you in 1930 & 31. It was my first Job after coming from Ireland. I was so lost and you were so sweet to me. I was very saddened to hear Carolyn & Barbara had passed away. They were sweet little girls when I knew them. If I lived near you I'd pay you a visit and I don't drive, so this note will have to take the place of a visit. Hope you're feeling better. If you can, drop me a line. If not I'll understand. I am happy I was able to locate you. I had often thought about you all- Thanks to Mrs. Keimig Kerwin I finally did after all the years-She is such a nice person- I'll close now with good wishes and nice memories. God Bless You Love Kathleen Lynch Burke

    undated obituary of Dr. R. W. Mark (performed marriage ceremony.).

    "Dr. R. W. Mark, 75; Was Pastor Here:
    Rev. Dr. Robert W. Mark, 75, pastor of Third Presbyterian Church from 1918 to 1927, died Thursday at Dr. Farmer's Hospital, Allentown. He had been a patient there seven weeks.
    Dr. Mark retired five years ago. He had gone into semi-retirement some time before when he accepted the pastorate of the Allentown Presbyterian Church. He previously had been the pastor of Old Stone Presbyterian Church in Cleveland.
    Born in Ireland, Dr. Mark came to this country as a boy and entered Princeton University and was graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1907. He served at First Presbyterian Church, Woodbridge, from 1907 until he came to Third church Feb. 5, 1918. During World War 1 he was granted a leave of absence from the Woodbridge church to engage in YMCA work at Camp Merritt in Tenafly.
    During Dr. Mark's pastorate here, a new parish house was built and the full support of a missionary was undertaken. He resigned from Third Church June 6, 1927, and was succeeded by the late Rev. Dr. William G. Felmeth.
    Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Helen Mark; a son, Rev. Robert W. Mark of Wellsboro, Pa.; two grandchildren, three sisters, Mrs. James W. McCracken, Mrs. Andrew Wilson and Mrs. Henry Wilson, all of Watervliet, N.Y.; a brother, Joseph, in Australia, and several nephews and neices, among them Mrs. John W. Castle of Linden.
    Services are to be held this afternoon at the Allentown Presbyterian Church. Burial was to be in the Woodbridge Presbyterian Church Seminary."
