Louis L. Vanderscors appears in Kent County school census records from 1909-1917. He registered for the World War I draft in August 1918. On August 20, 1919 Louis Vanderscors married Isabel Oliver. They were the parents of one child. Isabel passed before her husband in 1956. Terry Start, the photographer who kindly took the grave photos for the memorials of Louis and Isabel said, "This assignment had special meaning for me. As a young boy, Mr Vanderscors lived across the street from me. His former house is now gone with the Grandville Police Dept located on its site and the Fire Department right across the street."
At the time of his death, Mr. Vanderscors was the fire chief of the Grandville Fire Department. He collapsed at the scene of a huge blaze at the Bekmart Construction Co. that started when fuel oil that two men were using to wash down a truck exploded. Initial reports cited a heart attack as the cause of his collapse. Louis was taken to St. Mary's Hospital where later reports indicate that he died the following day of a massive cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63. His son, Robert, his 2 granddaughters, and other family members survived him. Funeral Arrangements were made by the Posthumus Funeral home where services were conducted by Rev. Paul Robinson of the Grandville Methodist Church in the Chapel of the Fountain.
Because of his duty death the name of Louis L. Vanderscors is inscribed on the Michigan Fallen Heroes Memorial Monument, Stone 1, Row 15. The monument is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of County Center Drive East (north entrance) and N. Telegraph Rd., on Oakland County's complex at 1200 North Telegraph Road in Pontiac. The memorial has a website on the internet.
