Former Mayor Succumbs
Rites To Be Held Wednesday
C. L. Bartholomew Was City's Head For Two Terms
Services will be held on Wednesday for Dr. C. L. Bartholomew, 83, one of the most popular mayors in the history of Valparaiso.
He died at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Porter Memorial hospital after a long illness.
A former dentist and city building inspector, he served two terms as Republican mayor of Valparaiso and operated for many years the funeral home establishment his son, C. Robert Bartholomew, now operates.
Elected in 1934
After serving five years as building commissioner, Dr. Bartholomew was elected mayor in 1934 and served two four-year terms from 1935 through 1942.
In the 1938 city election, he received 2,716 votes, a total which still stands as a record vote accorded any Valparaiso mayor.
Born near Cooks Corners Nov. 15, 1877, he was the son of C. W. and Elizabeth (Poor) Bartholomew.
He was a dentist in Morocco, Valparaiso and Chicago until 1923, the year he returned here to enter the undertaking business with his father.
He was a graduate (1899) of Chicago Dental College.
50-Year Member
Nine years ago he was presented a 50-year award by Portage Lodge 137, Free and Accepted Masons.
Surviving are his widow, Louise, 155 Walnut; a son, C. Robert; four grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Alla Runyan and Mrs. Charlotte Burt of Valparaiso, and a brother, Lee of Venice, Fla.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday in Bartholomew Funeral home. The Rev. Oliver Starn, First Presbyterian church, will officiate, and burial will be in Graceland cemetery. Friends may call after 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Pallbearers will be John Griffin, James Augustine, Charles Clifford, Art Smith, Herb Risto, Dave Edgren, Maurice Daly and Joe Tofte.
