OBITUARY ---------------

HENRY MARCUS COVERT

Redwood City Democrat

Oct. 24, 1901

Henry Marcus Covert, the well known commission man and real estate agent, passed away at his home in this city on Monday, having suffered for many weeks from a painful ailment. Mr. Covert was in business in San Francisco and at one time was counted among the prosperous speculators of the metropolis, but his fortune was swept away in the San Diego Land boom. He was a native of Indiana, aged 62 years. Mr. Covert was married to Miss Amy Robinson eighteen years ago and three children are the result of the union. He had an excellent business ability and it was mainly through his advice and efforts that the salt works near this city were launched, an undertaking which promises to yield large returns to the investors. The deceased will be consigned to the grave today.

Services will be held at St. Peters Church by Rev. Dr. McKenzie at 10 o’clock. The interment will take place in Union Cemetery.
