William Condra, age 86, died Sunday morning at his home hear here from the effects of a stroke which occurred several days ago.
Mr. Condra, who has lived here all his life had an exceptionally wide circle of friends and acquaintances in the valley and the county. For years he was engaged in lumbering operations and farming. For a number of years he has been retired and lived quietly on his farm just west of French Lick.
Up until he was stricken, Mr. Condra was active, a frequent visitor to French Lick and West Baden. He was an avid reader, well informed on many subjects, intensely interested in national and local affairs, an interesting speaker and a brilliant conversationalist. It is not merely the writing of a fitting epitaph to say that he will be missed.

He is survived by seven children: Mrs. John Leonard, Mrs. Esie Ballard, Mrs. Ella Benton and Tom Condra all of French Lick; Lillie Mae Condra of West Baden; Lon Condra of Lexington, Ky. and Mrs. Howard Pruett of Newcastle, Indiana.
