Obituary
Louis C. Victor was born in Newbern, Marion County, Iowa, March 4, 1875, and died at the home of his mother at this place Dec. 30, 1901, aged 26 years, 9 months and 26 days. He was united in matrimony to Mary C. Cratty April 9, 1900. One children was born unto them, little Ruth, who still survives him. He has lived all his life in Newbern with the exception of a few months. Shortly after his marriage he moved up in the northern part of the state and located at Klo, where his brother Albert resides. His health failing him, he remained there only a few months, returning to Newbern where he has since resided. On Christmas day his mother sent him an invitation for him and his family to spend the night with her. He accepted the invitation, but not being well all fall, he took his bed that night no more to gladden the hearts of his many friends by appearing among them. Louis had a kind and loving disposition and was a noble and affectionate husband and father. A few days prior to his death he was converted to God and though leaving his family and friends very reluctantly, he left them knowing he was going to a happier home where sorrow does not come and death can enter not. He bade his family and friends a tender farewell and then submitted his spirit to One who is ever able and willing to care for those who trust Him. The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church of this place Jan. 1, 1902, Rev Gardner of Dallas officiating. After the services, interment was made in the Newbern Cemetery. The family and relatives have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in this their sad hour of affliction. A friend
