She was born between Oct 1884 and Oct 1885 in Alaska. She was married to her first husband, Adam Bloch, on 9 Sep 1900 at Saint Nicholas Chapel (aka Russian Orthodox Church) in Seldovia, Alaska by Reverend Ivan E. Bartnovsky. She was married to her second husband, Henry "Harry" Alfred Markle, on 13 Nov 1916 at Seldovia, Alaska by I. D. Nordyke, United States Commissioner. By her first husband she had four known children: 1) Susana-Susan E. (Bloch) English (director of Seldovia's original library and for whom Susan B. English School is named); 2) Fredrika "Rika" (Bloch) Risoff; 3) Adam Phillip Bloch, Jr.; and 4) Mary Bloch. By her second husband she had two known children: 1) Elizabeth "Bessie" Markle; and 2) "Baby" Markle. Her only grandchildren came from her eldest three known children. Her death certificate indicates that she died in Anchorage of a puerperal infection, i.e., puerperal sepsis, a condition that arises from childbirth, and that she had been treated for this, presumably after having been taken to Anchorage, from 5 May to 11 May 1920. The condition was indicated as having existed for 14 days. Her death certificate also indicates that she was buried in Anchorage on 13 May 1920, but this is believed to be erroneous, as she and both of her husbands lived in Seldovia, her first husband is buried in Hillside Cemetery, and her own marker is in Hillside Cemetery as well.
