VICTOR G. LANTRY

SUDDEN DEATH OF A FORMER PROMINENT BLAIR CITIZEN

Wednesday’s dispatches brought the announcement of the death of our one-time citizen, Victor G. Lantry, brother of L. L. Lantry and Mrs. Walton, wife of Attorney W. C. Walton of Blair.

The deceased and his brother, L. L. came to Washington county in 1866 and homesteaded. Victor G. made money fast and at one time owned large bodies of land here and was proprietor of Highland ranch. He finally went to Omaha and there lost out.

After his reverses he went to Colorado and there made another fortune and about twenty years ago went to Cody, Wyoming, where he died Tuesday morning.

While residing here, Mr. Lantry filled the office of county surveyor and he was engaged in the newspaper business at one time. He was always prominent in politics and had newspaper interests wherever located.

Mr. Lantry was 71 years old. He is survived by two daughters, residing in New York City; a son, Victor G. Lantry, jr., residing in Livingston, Montana; and another son, Sperry Lantry of Kansas City; his brother, L. L., and sister, Mrs. Walton, of Blair.

The Cody dispatches say: “Victor G. Lantry, sr., was a native of Connecticut and had resided in the Big Horn Basin since 1899. His exceptional mental qualities won him prominence in all public affairs. He was the official head of the republican party here and part owner of the Herald. He was a member of St. John’s lodge of Masons, Omaha. His funeral will take place in Cody Thursday, after which the remains will be shipped to Omaha for interment.”
