    Jonah Markley: Carbon County's esteemed court crier
    EARLY TIMES CAPSUL
    BY JIM ZBICK
    Times News May 18, 1996

    Government officials throughout the area grieved at the sudden passing of Jonah Markley in 1886. For over 40 years, he was one of the county's most faithful servants.

    Born in Northampton County in 1801 to "humble and very respectable parents," Markley showed signs of early maturity as a teenager. At age 13 he became an associate of a Dr. Thomas, a respected physician in Philadelphia. Later, in life, Markley would be influenced by another doctor, Dr. Humphrey from cherryville who became his brother-in-law. During the Civil War, Dr. Humphrey, based in Easton, was the examining surgeon for the draft.

    After faithfully serving Dr. Thomas for a number of years in Philadelphia, Markley came to Carbon County, learning the weavers' trade at Lehigh Gap from a man named Peter Brown. Markley married Caroline Walck in 1828.

    Markley's next move was to Franklin where he established himself as a humble farmer. In a short time, however, he discovered his life was destined for public service.

    Soon after Carbon County's organization in 1843, Markley was elected one of the first constables. This made him familiar to county officials and when court crier William Holly retired, Markley was chosen as successor. It was a position the popular Franklin farmer would hold for the next four decades.

    "Through rain and shine and winter and summer, Markley was always in his accustomed place and with that manner so peculiarly his own, opened and closed the sessions of the court, calling out for good order and quietness during its continuance," one Mauch Chunk newspaperman noted.

    Despite being an octogenarian, Markley seemed to be in good health at the close of court on Jan. 23, 1886. As in countless previous sessions, he closed the court with a final prayer, "God save the commonwealth and the honorable court."

    Death came quite suddenly to the respected court crier. He died at 9 a.m. in his home in Franklin on February 1. The cause of death was termed "heart disease."

    Markley and his wife raised five sons and three daughters, and two of the children preceded him in death. He also left 53 grandchildren and 49 great-grandchildren.

    His remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining the Big Creek Evangelical Lutheran Church in Franklin Township. Friends and relatives formed a funeral cortege from the home to the church, then crowded into the sanctuary to hear Rev. J.S. Erb of Slatington deliver a practical message from Isaiah 38:1 entitled, "set thine house in order for thou shalt die."

    The service, which was in German, also included hymn-singing, reading of the 90th Psalm, and the Lord's Prayer. Many county officials attended the service, including William Holly, the man he replaced as court crier over 40 years earlier.

    "He was good natured and kind hearted to a fault, simple mannered and always obliging," a Mauch Chunk writer eulogized. "With his pleasant face and plain old-fashioned form, he'll be remembered as long as this county endures."

    From The Carbon Advocate, Volume 7, Number 7, Saturday, January 11, 1879
    Big Creek Items. On New Years day, our old friend, Jonas Markley, court crier, and his wife Catharine celebrated their golden wedding. About 50 or 60 persons were present, among whom
    were their three sons and two daughters. Among the presents to the worthy couple were one sack of flour, 6 pounds of coffee, 8 pounds of sugar, a large ham and sundry other articles. To say that Jonas was happy on that occasion falls far short of expressing his feelings.

    Jonah married Walk, Catherine on 11 Nov 1828 in Towamensing Twp., Northampton Co., PA. Catherine (daughter of Walk, George Michael and Strohl, Maria Elizabeth) was born on 17 Sep 1811; died on 03 Feb 1893 in Franklin Twp., Carbon Co., PA; was buried in Big Creek, Franklin Twp, Carbon Co., PA.
