  • Story: Mehess, Gus John - South Dakota Korean War Memorial

    <p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span>Mehess, Gus John</span></strong></span><br> Gus John Mehess was born to John and Bessie Mehess. He came to South Dakota in 1934 and prior to entering the military was operating a caf&eacute; in Sioux Falls. He entered active service in June of 1940. <strong>He married Helen Van Demark of Hartford, South Dakota, in 1942</strong>. At some point, Lt. Col. Gus Mehess was assigned to duty at the Pentagon. In June of 1951, he was assigned to the Occupational duty with the 36th Fighter-Bomber Group in Germany. On March 7, 1952, Lieutenant Colonel Gus J. Mehess died in Bern, Switzerland, presumably in an aircraft-related accident. His widow was in (or returned to Hartford), and later that same year, her mother, Mrs. Henry Van Demark was killed in a car accident near Humbolt. </p>
