Mars Vandemark, age 37 years, died at the County Home last Wednesday, May 30th after five years illness with arthritis. For the past two years he had been completely helpless.
Mars Vandemark was the son of Hollis and Ora Della Vandemark. He was born June 5, 1896 in Harris Township, Palestine, Indiana and departed this life May 30, 1934 at Knox, Indiana at the age of 37 years, 11 months and 25 days.
On September 24, 1919 he was united in marriage to Edith Graham of Kanakee, Illinois. To this union four children were born.
Surviving to mourn his death are his beloved wife, four children, John, 13, Bessie, 10, Thomas, 7, and Paul, 4, all of North Bend Township, his parents, four brothers, Leroy, Ralph, Charles and Earnest; four sisters, Mable, Stella, Mary and Levona, all of Michigan City, Ind.
Everything which loving hands could do was done to alleviate his suffering and make his last days happy.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Hite Funeral Home in charge of Evangelist T. B. Gilbert and interment was made in Oak Park Cemetery.
