However, Mars' wife Ethel V. Mars had the body and the mausoleum moved to Chicago only a few years after his death."<BR/><BR/>What does this mean? Perhaps this monument is just that, a monument for the Mars family which used to live here [and there are gravestones in the other Cottage Grove cemetery]. Newport is about a five minute drive and very rich in farm land.<BR/><BR/>The Mars family certainly has my interest as to what, where, when they were here and what was their role for the community.Steve Cuddihyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617072941840879211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26769558.post-62859272764078915932007-10-04T00:43:00.000-05:002007-10-04T00:43:00.000-05:00Kellogg!
