THOMAS VANCE DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME HERE:
FOUND TUESDAY MORNING BY HIS WIFE in Semi-Comatose Condition: Does not Regain consciousness
Attorney had been Olympia Resident for over Thirty Years
"Mr Vance was born in Charlotte,(sic) North Carolina, Sept 6, 1863 (sic), and was 64 years, 5 months and 8 days old at the time of his death. He was the son of Mr. and Mr.s Zebulon Vance, his father being the famous wartime governor of North Carolina. His father was also at one time a member of the United States senate.
Thomas Vance took his law studies at the University of North Carolina, from which institution, rich in the tradition of the old South, he was graduated. He was married at Lenoir, North Carolina on August 18, 1887 to Gertrude Wheeler of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He came to Yakima in the early days in the government land department service.
He is survived by his widow, and a nephew, Wheeler WARREN, living at Yakima. Funeral services will be conducted Thursday afternoon at 1:30. The body will be taken to South Tacoma for cremation after the services.
CAME HERE IN 1896:
Mr. Vance came to Olympia in 1896 and served as assistant attorney general during the first administration of Governor John R. Rogers, when Patrick Henry Winston was attorney general. General Vance, as he was ever afterwards known, began the practice of law in Olympia. His keen knowledge of the law and ready wit won him fame in his profession and he participated in many important law cases in the state. He was especially skillful as a trial attorney and the fact that he was to appear in an important case always insured a large attendance in the court room.
Mr. Vance was prominently identified with the democratic party in this state and occupied a high place in the councils of his party organization. He was also much sought after as an after-dinner speaker and only a week ago attended the banquet of the Thurston- mason county bar association here.
Still looking for her "grave" or obit.
