ALBERT  LEMAR  DEAD
----------
Death Which Occurred Saturday Evening,
Caused By Pneumonia Attack
----------
FUNERAL  TUESDAY
----------
          The funeral of  Albert Lemar  will be held at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lemar, of Hendricks township.  The services will be conducted by the Rev. H.N. Spear of this city.  Interment will be in the Second Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.
          Two years ago Mr. Lemar built at 310 West Broadway, this city, a splendid home.  With his wife, who was Miss Farnie Blankenbaker, they occupied this home.  They had no children.  He was born in Hendricks township 36 years ago.  Because of his good life he was respected by all who knew him.  Near a week ago he was taken ill, pneumonia developing.  When it was known his condition was serious his good mother came to see him and to stay with him.  She was taken ill and confined to her bed.  Mr. Lemar was an only son.  His death took place Saturday evening at seven o'clock. It was arranged to take Mrs. Lemar to her home.  She said she did not want to go home unless they took her son-her boy-her only child.  At 10 o'clock both mother and son were taken to the home of the parents in Hendricks township.  There is no love like that of a mother.  The death of Mr. Lemar was not expected by his acquaintances consequently come to them as a shock.  He was a member of Second Mt. Pleasant and a member of the Odd Fellow's lodge of this city.
