Marl McMath, invented rechargeable flash
Fort Thomas resident Marl McMath had a wonderfully creative mind.
He used his gift to make people in perilous situations safer, life a little easier for the common man and to bring smiles to his children's faces.
Mr. McMath, 85, of Fort Thomas, died at 8 p.m. Saturday at St. Luke Hospital in Fort Thomas. He was a retired engineer with Litton Co., Florence, and a nationally known inventor.
During World War II, Mr. McMath worked for the military on a variety of projects. At Dayton Acme Co., he developed the first hand-held generator equipped for downed Air Corps pilots. At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, he developed an air-sea rescue radio for pilots shot down over water that was later featured in Popular Mechanics magazine.
After the war, Mr. McMath worked as a civil engineer and later founded his own engineering consulting firm. He invented a long list of unique convenience and safety items, including the flashbulb shatter guard and rechargeable flashbulbs for cameras, and the "keylite."
His inventions also made life at home a wonder, his daughter, Kelly McMath, said.
"He made us our own gasoline-engine mini-jeep to motor around town in the 1950s," she said. "We had a total intercom system he put in throughout the house. We had an electric garage-door opener before they were on the market. Dad spent months working on technological thrills, screams and howls for Halloween - (it was) a special time of fun for us."
Other survivors include his wife, Louise McMath; a son, Jack McMath of Fort Thomas; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Services will be at 1 p.m. Thursday at Muehlenkamp-Erschell Funeral Home, Fort Thomas. Visitation will begin there at 11 a.m. Thursday. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Southgate.

Genevieve Shonert, a civic leader, Democratic Party official and founding member of the Pendleton County Public Library and the Kincaid Regional Theater in Pendleton County, died Sunday at St. Elizabeth Hospice Unit in Covington.
The Falmouth resident was 82.
Born Bertha Genevieve Hancock in Cincinnati, Mrs. Shonert, affectionately known by many as "Gevie," was the daughter of grocery store owners from Lenoxburg, where she grew up.
She graduated from Bracken County High School and Cincinnati Bible Seminary and studied voice, music theory and keyboard at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music.
During World War II, she helped her father run his food warehouse, which supplied the Hancock chain of stores. It was during this time that she was a member of a pioneering Cincinnati community theater, which later became Playhouse in the Park.
Mrs. Shonert married Warren Jeffrey Shonert Jr., publisher of the Falmouth Outlook newspaper, in Lenoxburg in 1946. She had twins in 1950.
After the family moved to Falmouth, she became active in civic affairs and was co-publisher of the Falmouth Outlook until it was sold in 1985. Despite their political differences - Mr. Shonert was a Republican until later in life and Mrs. Shonert was an active Democrat - the couple "got along fine," Mr. Shonert said.
She sometimes wrote stories for the paper, he said. "She was interested in everything in this community. She was honest, and everybody loved her."
Besides helping found the public library and Kincaid theater, Mrs. Shonert was a member and choir director of the Falmouth Christian Church, served 14 years as a Pendleton County school board member and was a director on the board of First National Bank in Falmouth and Fifth Third Bank of Northern Kentucky.
Mrs. Shonert was a charter member of the Pendleton County Democratic Woman's Club, Falmouth Woman's Club and Pendleton County Democratic Executive Committee.
She helped organize Martha Layne Collins' campaign for governor and Brereton Jones' campaign for lieutenant governor.
She was a delegate to the national Democratic Party Convention and to the state Democratic Party Officers Election Convention.
She was a member of the Pendleton County Planning and Zoning Board and served on the Northern Kentucky Mental Health-Retardation Organizational Board and on the Pendleton County Grass Roots Committee, an organization to convince state legislators to allot more funding for use in education.
Mrs. Shonert also was a member of Rebecca Bryan Boone Daughters of the American Revolution, Pendleton County Homemakers and the Falmouth Rotary Club.
She was a recipient of the Pendleton County Outstanding Woman Award presented by the county chamber of commerce.
Other survivors include a son, Jeffrey Hancock Shonert of New York City; daughter, Genevieve Grace Shonert of Falmouth; and a sister, Mrs. George W. Booher of Lexington.
Her brother, John Hancock, who owned 140 of the Hancock grocery stores, was killed in an automobile accident several years ago.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Falmouth Christian Church. Visitation will be from 5 to 9 tonight at Woodhead Funeral Home, Falmouth.
Burial will be in Riverside Cemetery, Falmouth. Memorials are suggested to Falmouth Christian Church, Falmouth Rotary Scholarship Fund, or Pendleton County Library.
