Gordon Funeral Home, Miami, is handling arrangements. S. Mendel, oldest veteran The Associated Press GALVA, 111. Samuel Leroy Mendel, the oldest living American veteran and one of two remaining Spanish-American War-era veterans, died on Wednesday at his home. He was 104.

Mr. Mendel, past commander-in-chief of the Spanish-American War Veterans' Association, died in his sleep, said a friend, Jim Phillips. He had been a vaudeville performer, lumberjack, sanitation officer, furniture salesman and preacher. He retired in 1952 after moving to this town of 3,200 people. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr.

Mendel was 17 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1901. His patriotic fire had been sparked by the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine on June 23, 1898, in Havana harbor in Cuba then under Spanish rule. But he was only 14 at the time and unable to enlist.

The war that liberated Cuba ended that same year. But fighting in Guam, Puerto Rico and the Philippines continued for several years, and when Mr. Mendel joined the Army he was still hoping to see combat, he recalled in a 1983 interview. Instead of carrying a gun onto the field of battle, Mr. Mendel spent his three-year military career carrying a football on the athletic fields at Fort Sam Houston.

In 1902, he was cited as the best athlete in the Army. Mr. Mendel outlasted all but one the 392,000 Americans who served during the 1898-1902 era. The last known veteran of Spanish-American War era is Nathan E. Cook, 102, of Tempe, a former Navy man with 44 years of military service.
