Thanks, Gary! You’re absolutely correct about that being the wrong gravestone. The ‘other’ Arthur C. Bade, also born in 1899 (but with a death date in 1975, not 1955), lived in the New Jersey/New York area, not Illinois.
I’ve long wanted to update this post to reflect that, along with other corrections and changes, and am hoping to do so soon!
Do you have any other information on illustrator Bade’s life. If so, I’d love to talk with you (and Kathryn Palmer, too, above) about that!
The man you are speaking of was my great-uncle on my father’s side. I have many of his magazines & in fact, I sat for him for one of the magazines. He died on June 5, 1955.
I also have several of his original paintings in my home. One painting was a gift to my grandparents for their wedding in 1924. He never finished it, but it is hanging over my fireplace.
If you want to contact me, my email is sdpkep@ yahoo.com. I live in Wayne, PA.
Found your article more than interesting! Thank you
This the wrong gravestone. He passed in 1955. His wife's name was Myrtle and 3 children named Tom, Phillip, and Lois.
