WYATT’S DEATH HARD BLOW TO FAMILY
Young Man Electrocuted Here Helped Support Mother and Five Sisters.
By reason of a blow that has befallen the immediate family of Chester Wyatt, the
young man who was electrocuted at Don Luis Friday by coming into contact with a
live wire, the death of the young man carries with it an especial degree of
sadness.
A decision arrived at by the young man but a few hours before his death to quit
the mines and go over to the Bisbee Improvement company, seems to have been one of
those unaccountable vagaries of fate that follows all mankind. Undecided as to
whether he would remain with the mines or accept an opening with the B. I. which
he had sought for some time, the young man finally made up his mind to engage in
open air work and thus avoid the dangers of underground work.
In the death of Wyatt, an only brother is left to support a mother and five
sisters who live in Bedford, Kentucky. Bruce Wyatt and Chester, the dead boy,
were the sole support of their family, and Chester’s death will work a hardship
on them, beside throwing a particularly heavy burden on the shoulders of his
surviving brother.
The remains were shipped to his former home yesterday evening, accompanied by
Bruce Wyatt, brother of the young man. It will be a sad visit to the old
Kentucky home that Bruce Wyatt will make with his brother’s remains.
While in Bisbee both the young men made a number of friends who speak nothing but
praise for the boys and laud their manhood and good habits. The expense of the
shipment and trip of Bruce Wyatt is borne by the Bisbee Improvement company.
