Biography
MARK C. HENDRICKSON, one of the American veterans of the World war, who saw service of nearly all the battle fronts in France and Belgium, has since his return from overseas been a prominent factor in the real estate business in Columbus. He is one of the leading young men in that field.
He was born in Florence Township, Huron County, Ohio, in 1896, representing one of the old families of that county. He attended the public schools at Norwalk, the county seat, and in 1917 graduated from Ohio University at Athens.
Early in the spring of 1917 Mr. Hendrickson left the university to enter the first training camp for officers at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis. He was commissioned first lieutenant of infantry, and he had the fortune to be assigned duty with the First Division of the Regular Army. He was one of the first Americans to go overseas, sailing with the First Division in August, 1917. He was attached to the Sixteenth Regiment of the First Division, and was with the American forces for more than a year before the signing of the armistice. He was given two wound stripes. He was wounded by shell, also was gassed. Returning home he received his honorable discharge in July, 1919.
After leaving the army Mr. Hendrickson took post-graduate work in Ohio State University at Columbus, and from there entered the real estate business. He is a member of the Galbreath-Hendrickson Realty Company, doing a general business in real estate. It is a firm noted for its aggressiveness and enterprise, and dominated by youth, enthusiasm and hard headed practical business.
Mr. Hendrickson is one of the organizers and is secretary of the Mercator Club of Columbus. It is composed chiefly of young men in the different lines of profession and business, and has a representative membership on the same order as the Rotary. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity, the Aladdin Country Club, and the Chamber of Commerce.
