HIS LAST LANDING
Mate Mack Bondurant Resting on the Other Shore
After a long illness, Captain McKendry Bondurant died at half-past three o'clock Sunday morning at the family residence in West Madison. "Mack," as he was most familiarly known all along the river and on shore, was the last survivor of eight sons of Mr. Richard Bondurant, Sr., one of the pioneers of Milton township. The brothers who preceded him to the silent land were Green, Norman, DeWitt, Taylor, Alonzo, Dock and Richard. He was sixty-six years old. He leaves a wife, who was a Miss Dunahew, five children—Al, Emma, Chant, John, and Mrs. Nicholas DeVersy, Jr. One sister survives—Mrs. Al Simpson, of Brooksburg. He was a soldier of the Sixth Indiana Regiment in the war for the Union.
For many years he served as mate on the big steamers of the Mail Line Company and later in the lower river trade. He was a member of the West Madison Methodist church, whose pastor, Rev. J.W. Hanger, will preach the funeral sermon, and the burial will be in Springdale cemetery.
