"Noel Mullendore... married (second) in 1934, Gertrude Hamar, daughter of Batey and Livona (Roth) Hamar.....Gertrude is the only Hamar descendant remaining in Elk County. She is civic minded and active in many community affairs; a few are the Howard Library Board, American Cancer Society, the Elk County Historical Society and the Howard Museum. Noel and Gertrude have one child (LIVING).
Note: Gertrude Mullendore compiled the data for this history.

"They [Bate and Livona (Roth) Hamar] had two daughters, Clarice who compiled this history and Gertrude. Both girls taught in the Howard schools. (1) Clarice Hamar later taught music in Illinois. She married Gilbert Waller, a university professor in Champaign, Ill., and author of several sets of music method books....(2) Gertrude Hamar married Noel Mullendore of Howard."
-----"Elk County, A Narrative History of Elk County [Kansas] and its People," The Elk County Historical Society, Howard, Kansas, 1979, p. 185
________________________________________________________-
Two years after Clarice's wedding, Gertrude was married to Noel Mullendore, a Howard native [June 18, 1934]. They always have made their home in Howard. Gertrude is the only member of the Hamar family to have been born in Howard and lived her entire life there.

Noel has a private law practice at Howard and also served as attorney for the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission for more than 20 years. During the years Noel worked for the state, he held a commission as Assistant Attorney General of Kansas for 41 years. I might add that it was largely through Noel's efforts that the Fish and Game Commission developed so many recreation areas in Kansas. And since his retirement he is sorely missed.
There are 6 descendents of Bate Hamar.
