Marko Cepenkov

Marko Cepenkov was born in 1829, in Prilep or Kruševo depending on the sources, into a family from the village of Oreovec. After small Greek schools, he attended from 1844 two years of private school in Prilep, became a tailor and was a schoolteacher in that town in 1857. He made a habit of noting down the stories told to him by the customers of his workshop, and meeting Dimitar Miladinov, a collector of songs from Struga, broadened his work. He also wrote a play, patriotic songs and an autobiography, and died in 1920.
