A stroke suffered two weeks ago caused the death Friday at 3 a.m. in St. Francis Hospital of Charles Pearson Trask, widely known West Virginia sportsman and former insurance executive. Mr. Trask, 63 years old, resided at 329 Hawthorne Rd.

Mr. Trask came to Charleston 15 years ago as state manager of the Lincoln Life Insurance Co. For many years he served as vice president in charge of agents with the George Washington Life Insurance Co. and later as state manager of the Pilot Life Insurance Co.

He married Miss Mary Hoefer, who survives, in Burlington in 1902 and they moved to Indianapolis in 1906, coming on to Charleston 15 years ago.

Mr. Trask was an ardent sportsman, participating in varied recreational pursuits. His favorite pastimes were tennis playing and ice skating. But he was also known widely as as a hunter, fisherman and golfer. He was one of the founders of Ice Sports, Inc. of Charleston, which closed shortly after the war started.

The body was remove to the Bartlett mortuary. Pallbearers will be J. W. Garrett, R. I. Sullivan, M. M. Wickline, Robert G. Skinner, Hubert H. Kidd and D. W. Stubblefield.
