Marcus' name was Joshua Marcus, but it seems that in America, at least, he always just used Marcus. He died of a fractured skull after a car accident in Cincinnati.

Marc Fialco writes:

I have a copy of the contract written either in Yiddish or Hebrew between my grandfather Joshua Mordechi Polikoff Kohan(Marcus Fialcow) and his uncle,Jacob Ben Isreal Poliakoff Hakohen representing his daughter, Chasha (my grandmother) to bring her to the U.S. and Cincinnati to be his wife. The contract was executed in the year 5648 in Pinsk. It also says Pinsk was the city of her birth. I assume it was also the city of Marcus's birth.
