MARK LYDON, the well known Democratic leader and hotel proprietor of Shadyside in North Bergen, Hudson County, was born in Ireland on April 1, 1866, the son of Martin Lydon and Ann Bracken. Having received his education in the public schools of his native country, he came to America, and on the 15th of March, 1889, landed in New York, where he followed his trade of stonecutting for a short time. He soon removed to Shadyside in North Bergen, N. J., where he found employment at paper-making, and where he has since resided. May 1, 1894, he engaged in the hotel and liquor business, which he still follows.

Applying himself to business affairs and to the advancement of the Democratic party, Mr. Lydon soon came into prominence as a leader and for several years has been a power in his party in that locality. His influence upon both local and county matters has given him a wide reputation. He is a man of public spirit and enterprise, and has always taken a prominent part in local projects. He is a member of Eclipse Fire Company No. 1, of North Bergen, of the Democratic Club, and of the Gustav Scholp and Robert Davis Associations.

Mr. Lydon was married, June 21, 1893, to Annie F., daughter of John Flannery, of Shadyside, North Bergen, and they have two children: John and Florence.
