One of Jay, New York's best-liked residents, Mark A. Devlin, died at 10 o'clock Monday morning, September 16, 1957, at the Southmayd Nursing Home in Upper Jay, New York, owned and operated by his son, Eugene. Mr. Devlin's death was attributed to a heart and bronchial condition. He had been in poor health for years. He would have been 69 years old had he lived to October 19. Taken seriously ill Saturday morning, his condition grew worse and he was brought to the nursing home that evening. At his bedside when the end came were his sons, Jack and Eugene and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Eugene Devlin.
Mr. Devlin was born at Jay, October 19, 1888, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Bridget (Hurley) Devlin.

Rogers Company in Au Sable Forks, New York. He also was a wood jobber in the Jay mountains over a long period.
Mr. Devlin worked his farm in addition to his wood-jobbing activities. For a number of years he supplied the Lake Placid Club and several other hotels in Lake Placid, New York with meat while in the cattle business.
An active man during all his working career, Mr. Devlin was devoted to his family as well as his business, a helpful neighbor and friend.
