FOUND UNCONSCIOUS

Aged Man, Stricken With Apoplexy, Lay Helpless for 24-Hours.

Henry Loyer, aged 67 years, living with James Luckenbaugh and family, rear of 
York Street, near Five Points, met with a very sad fate Tuesday.

Mr. Loyer was employed at the cigar factory of C. A. Sterner, rear of York 
Street.  Tuesday morning he went to work as usual, preparing cigar wrappers.  At 
noon, when he did not return for dinner, search was instituted but he was not 
found until 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, when he was discovered lying in a helpless 
condition between four large packing cases in the cigar factory.

Dr. C. E. Bortner was summoned, who removed the unfortunate man to his boarding 
house.  Mr. Loyer received a paralytic stroke, and fell between the boxes, where 
he remained in an unconscious condition for a period of 24 hours.


William Henry Loyer died at the boarding house of James Luckenbaugh, rear York 
street, at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, August 13, following a stroke of paralysis 
received last Tuesday while at work in the cigar factory of C. A. Sterner, rear 
of York street.  Mr. Loyer was rendered unconscious, in which condition he 
remained until the end came.  His age was 67 years, 6 months and 6 days.

The deceased was a former resident of West Manheim township and was twice 
married.  His first wife, whose maiden name was Miss Alice Luckenbaugh, died in 
1895.  Two years after he married Mrs. Sarah Luckenbaugh, widow of John 
Luckenbaugh, who died in July, 1907.  After her death he came to Hanover.

He is survived by three sons, children of the first wife, Milton Loyer, of York; 
Charles Loyer, York street, Hanover, George Loyer, of Nashville, Tennessee; and 
one son and four daughters of the second marriage, as follows:  Paul Loyer, of 
Mont Alto, Franklin county; Katie and Mamie Loyer, of Pleasant Hill; Minnie 
Loyer, of near St. Bartholomew’s church, and Beulah Loyer, of Penn street, 
Hanover.  He is also survived by one step-brother, Jacob Loyer, of Paradise 
township, and two grandchildren.
