Services Held For Paddock, Former Solon
Private funeral services for Ray Padock (sic), of Wauconda, who served this district in the Illinois state senate for 24 years before his retirement last year, were conducted Wednesday afternoon at Wauconda with burial in Ft. Hill cemetery near Hainsville.
Paddock died Saturday night in Illinois Research Hospital where he had been a patient for about a month. He was 76 years of age.
A lifelong Lake county resident, Paddock was first elected to the state senate on the Republican ticket in 1928 and served continuously until his retirement a year ago.
Paddock was a graduate of Valparaiso Normal school and also was a member of the Masonic order. He was Wauconda township supervisor from 1915 to 1928 and also served one term as chairman of the Lake county board as a chairman of the board of review.
Sen. Robert McClory of Lake Bluff, who succeeded Patrick (sic) in the senate, paid tribute to the veteran legislator.
Sen. Ray Paddock was a capable and respected member of the state senate during his 24 years of service. He was devoted to his family and to his government. His principles were always the highest. His accomplishments and his influences will continue to be felt for years to come.
Paddock is survived by his widow, Irma; two sons, Robert of Volo and James of Wauconda; a daughter, Mrs. Doris Wiemuth also of Wauconda, and 10 grand-children.
He was born Oct. 9, 1877 in Wauconda, the son of William R. and Nancy Stickney Paddock, who had come to this area from Vermont as early settlers.
