STROKE RESULTED IN HIS DEATH
-------
James Victor Succumbs
To The Grim Reaper Eleven Hours
After Fatal Stroke Came
-------
Mr. Victor, who had charge of the Nading elevator at Lewis Creek, was in his office shortly before noon yesterday, when he was suddenly attacked by paralysis, the stroke affecting his side, heart and brain. He was taken into his room, his home adjoining the office, and carried to his bed in an unconscious condition. A physician was called, but he could do nothing to relieve the suffering man. The stroke was too severe for any relief and he continued growing worse until his death. Mr. Victor was one of the most highly respected business men of the county. He had been in the employ of the Nading Mill and Grain Company as manager of the Lewis Creek elevator for the past fourteen years and his honesty in business dealings won for him the admiration of the entire community.
He was a member of the I.O.O.F. lodge of Lewis Creek, and of the K. of P. lodge at Flat Rock being prominent in all lodge matters. He was also a member of the Winchester Methodist Episcopal Church.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hulda Victor, and one sister, Mrs. Webb McKnight. Four step-children also survive him. They are William E., John B. and Joseph O. Higgins, and Mrs. Kathryn Kling, all of this city. Funeral services will be held at the West Street M.E. Church in this city at 11 o'clock Saturday morning, Rev. J.T. Scull officiating. Burial will be made in Forest Hill cemetery in charge of Hageman, Hawkins & Hendrickson. The K.P. and I.O.O.F. lodges will participate in the ceremony at the cemetery.
