Besides her distinguished husband, Mrs. Markland is survived by no immediate relatives, her sistor, Mrs. Crook, widow of General George Crook, having died September 24th, 1895. Of late years Major and Mrs. Markland had spent much of their time quietly in this city, the birthplace of the former. Mrs. Markland waa a very accomplished woman and her death is a great shock to her devoted husband. The remains will be taken over the C. and O. at 1:35 today to Washington City, where they will be laid to rest at Arlington — the Necropolis of more than twenty thousand of America's best and bravest.
