This collection comprises documents related to the life of Salomon (Sam) Allan Mark between 1904 and 1972. It includes certificates, grades and other documents from Salomon Allan Mark’s personal life, as well as documents concerning his estate, the estates of his mother Rachel Mark and his father Aron Mark, and documents related to Aron Mark. The collection is divided into two parts.
This second part of the collection contains the following documents created between 1904 and 1972: documents related to the estate of Salomon Allan Mark; correspondence from 1965 to 1972; documents related to the funeral from 1965 to 1966; the estate inventory from 1966 to 1967; documents related to the apartment from 1966; documents related to Rachel Mark from 1966; research concerning Rachel Mark’s sister in 1966, a report of the estate from 1966; documents related to Aron Mark, including undated articles written by Aron Mark, correspondence from 1919 to 1921, some documents in Russian from 1914 to 1922, and various documents from 1904 to 1934; documents related to the estate of Aron Mark, including the estate inventory and verifications from 1950 to 1952; and lastly documents related to the estate of Rachel Mark, including verifications from 1965.
The letters sent to the siblings of Salomon Allan Mark’s parents were written in Swedish, English, and German and sent to the family in Russia towards the end of the 1910s. The letters reveal that it took a long time for the relatives to find and communicate with each other. The letters are written by hand in blue or black ink, and are often more than three pages long. The documents that are related to Salomon Allan Mark’s parents also include a translated marriage certificate from their marriage in Charkov in 1904, as well as certificates from the mental hospital in Blackeberg in Stockholm. Salomon Allan Mark’s mother Rachel Mark and his sister Fredrique Mark were both admitted to the mental hospital in Blackeberg in 1934.
