James C. Connor
Mr. James C. Connor, a prominent citizen of Evanston, died yesterday morning at 1:39 o'clock at his home, No. 123 Maple avenue. He has been sick since August with what was at first pronounced partial paralysis, but which turned out to be ulcer of the brain.
Mr. Connor came to Evanston with his parents from Ireland about thirty-five years ago, and has resided there ever since. He was a contractor and builder, and built many of the beautiful residences in Evanston. He was also proprietor of a large hardware store, and owned some of the largest business blocks in town.
He was a prominent member of the Catholic church, and took a trip to the Holy Land a short time ago. He leaves a wife and seven children, the oldest of whom is 15 years of age. He has two brothers, Thomas E., and John A. Connor, living in Evanston, and two sisters, Mrs. Phillip Sullivan and Mrs. James H. Haughey, living in Chicago.
The funeral services will be held at the Catholic Church in Evanston at 11 o'clock Thursday. The interment will be at Calvary.
Inter Ocean, November 26, 1890.
