BLOW ON HEAD KILLS BLISS&#13;
May 1913&#13;
&#13;
Carter A. Bliss, Son of President Bliss of DeKalb Line, Dies Following Accident&#13;
&#13;
Youth employed on Railroad struck by pole near Kaneville&#13;
&#13;
Carter Bliss, 17-year-old son of President Jedediah Harris Bliss (J.H. Bliss) of the Aurora &amp; DeKalb line, who was hit in the back of the head by a swinging telephone pole near Kaneville Tuesday morning, died at the St. Joseph hospital this morning at 3:55 o’clock.  He never regained consciousness after he was hit.  &#13;
&#13;
Young Bliss was hurt in a peculiar accident.  A pole being dragged by a work car, of which he had charge, struck an obstruction and swung around, striking the boy at the base of his brain.  He was hurried to the hospital and operated on, but the fracture was fatal.  &#13;
&#13;
His mother is prostrated.  She was visiting in Ohio when notified of the accident.  She arrived here with her daughter Catherine yesterday morning at 8 o’clock and went at once to her boy’s bedside. &#13;
&#13;
Young Bliss was employed on his father’s railroad and was one of its best liked men.  He is survived by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. W.K. Evans of Toldeo, Ohio, and Miss Catherine Bliss of Sugar Grove, and one brother, J. Harry Evans of this city.&#13;
&#13;
The funeral will be held from the Bliss home in Sugar Grove Saturday afternoon at 2:45 o’clock, the Reverend Dr. Lounsbury officiating.  Interment will be in the Sugar Grove Cemetery. &#13;
&#13;
The coroner’s jury in the case met this afternoon and hear testimony from two witnesses and returned a verdict of “accidental death.”&#13;

                <text>The Sugar Grove Community Building (aka Sugar Grove Community House) was originally organized in the late 1920s by civic-minded people who were mostly farmers. At the time, the Village had about 150 people. They put a bond referendum up along with donated funds.  The cornerstone of the Community Building was engraved with the year 1929, and the builidng was complete in 1933.  It became a central place in the township where everyone could meet.&#13;
&#13;
The Community Building wasn’t just used for community gatherings, but it was also used for school. There were two classrooms in the basement of the Community Building.  The high school boys played basketball upstairs, and everyone used the gym for PE on rainy days. School plays were held there, too.&#13;
&#13;
At various points in time, the Community Building also housed the Library, Police Station, and City Hall.  It is still used as a meeting place for church spaghetti dinners, scout troops, Karate meets, basketball practice, weddings, and much more.</text>

George D. Ratos, age 78, of Sugar Grove, Illinois passed away on Saturday, December 28, 2002 at the Provena-Mercy Center in Aurora, Illinois. He was born on April 18, 1924 in Valsamata, Kefalonia, Greece, the son of Dimitrios and Eftihia (Tsakarisianos) Niforatos.&#13;
&#13;
George was united in marriage on November 29, 1953 at the Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago, Illinois to the former Georgia P.

After moving from Bellwood in 1971, he and his wife Georgia were the owners and operators of "The House of Plenty Smorgasbord" in Sugar Grove, IL. Their son Jim and grandson Jimmy assumed the management, but George was always there to help. Mr. Ratos enjoyed spending time at the restaurant so that he could visit with his customers and employees, George enjoyed the outdoors, especially vegetable gardening and flowers. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother who will be remembered for the love he gave to his family and many friends.&#13;
&#13;
He is survived by his son, James (Mary) Ratos of Yorkville, IL, his daughter, Joy (Jim) Dravillas of Sugar Grove, IL; his grandchildren, Nicole, Peter, Jimmy and Tommy Ratos, all of Yorkville, IL and Alex and Doula Dravillas of Sugar Grove, IL; his brothers, Dan (Elaine) Niforatos, Theotokis (Eleni) Niforatos, Taxarathis (Sylvia) Niforatos, and Art (Lillian) Niforatos; his sister, Elefteria Niforatos; as well as his dear friend, Muriel Kokas.&#13;
&#13;
He was preceded in death by his parents, Dimitrios and Eftihia; his wife Georgia; his brother, Gerasimos Niforatos; and his sisters, Stamo Vineris, Marica Stathoulis and Stefania Vartelas.&#13;
&#13;
Funeral Services will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 31, 2002 at the St. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church in Aurora, IL, with Father Peter Spiro officiating.
