VETERAN DIES SUDDENLY.
-----
Mr. James Bomar, Native of Spartanburg, Succumbs to Apoplexy.
While walking on West Trade street in front of the Presbyterian hospital, Mr. James Taylor Bomar, aged 66 years and a Confederate veteran, dropped dead yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock. He was carried into the hospital and attempts made to revive him, but fruitlessly. It is surmised that death resulted from a stroke of apoplexy.
Mr. Bomar had resided here about two years, making his home with his son, Mr. J. C. Bomar, at No. 1015 West avenue. He spent most of his life in Spartanburg, where he was native, but moved 27 years ago to Greenville, whence he came here. He had just been on a visit to his son, who is in chargeo f the linotype machines at the Western Newspaper Union, and was on his way home.
Mr. Bomar was a member of St. Peter's Episcopal church. The arrangements for the funeral service will be concluded later.
A wife, Mrs. M. M. Bomar, and five sons survive. These are: Messrs. George H., John E., and Daniel B., of Birmingham, James C. of Charlotte and Edward L. of Spartanburg, S. C. He enlisted in the Southern army in the Spartanburg Rangers, and served with honor and fidelity the "Lost Cause." He was a loyal member of Mecklenburg Camp, United Confederate Veterans, with which he had affiliated himself since coming here. He was a splendid citizen, of exemplary character and qualities which won the respect and esteem of all. He was apparently in perfect health up to the moment of his sudden summons, and his death came as a painful shock to his relatives.
