WILLIAM SAS DEAD AT AGE 69
FORMER LEADING BLAIR MERCHANT DIES ON EVE OF 70th BIRTHDAY
Funeral rites were held Tuesday for one of Blair's best-known former businessmen.
W. J. (Bill) Sas, who would have observed his 70th birthday today, died suddenly last Thursday afternoon at Blair Hospital, where he had been a resident patient since June, 1945. He was a longtime arthritis patient, and had suffered from other complications. While he had not been in good health, his death was entirely unexpected.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Sas, William J. Sas was born Feb. 4, 1884, at Magnolia, Ia. He came to Blair, his home since then, as a boy, and attended the Blair schools. He and Della Henderson were married June 15, 1910, at St. Joseph, Mo., and returned to Blair. For many years they resided at 707 South Walker Ave.
