Obituary- Kovar, Louis 1

Dr. Kovar Rites to Be Friday

Funeral services will be held Friday at 6 p.m. in the First Presbyterian Church for Dr. Louis J. Kovar, 53 of 3229 Proctor Street, pastor of the church, who died unexpectedly Wed. at 9:45 p.m. in the St. Marys Hospital (Mar 1, 1961). He had been taken to the Hospital after being stricken at 8:30 p.m. while attending a Rotary Club Banquet in Beaumont. Dr. and Mrs. Kovar and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Blanton Sr., had driven to Beaumont for the meeting, and the pastor appeared in unusual health. He chatted with his companions during the trip and greeted friends on arriving at the crowded banquet hall. Preliminaries of the program were in progress, and the meal had not been served.

The party was seated at a table near the front of the room. Blanton’s first realization that Dr. Kovar was ill came when he dropped a glass of water he had raised to his lips, and seemed to sit rigid.

Blanton and others inquired if he was feeling bad, and the minister was unable to answer. Doctors sitting nearby came to the table. Only words that Blanton heard Dr. Kovar utter were, “Get Ben White,” his personal physician here. The pastor was unable to use his hands, paralysis having gripped his body.
