Obituary: WILEY JARMAN IS CRUSHED TO DEATH At Mine No. 14. Friday
Afternoon at Three O'clock --- Buried at West Prairie Sunday. The sweeping
suddenness of death was demonstrated in this city last Friday when at 3 o'clock
on of our citizens was walking around in the city in perfect health and at six o'clock
or three hours later, lay a silent corpse at his home, from an accident at the mine
No. 14. Mr. Wiley JARMAN, an old resident, who held "second shift" at the
No 14. Pumping station, on crossing the track between two cars, was caught
and mashed so that he died in a short while. As Mr. JARMAN stepped between
the cars, the car puller was put in operation just at the right time to catch him
as he passed between them. He was removed to his home, from which he had
departed in good health a short while before, in a dying condition, and medical
aid was of no avail as he was terribly crushed. Mr. JARMAN was 59 years of
age and for many years a resident of this city, and was respected by all who knew
him. He had been recently engaged in training horses and develop8ng speed on
tracks and was considered an expert horseman. He was also in former years a
farmer and had successfully doctored horses, as he was a veterinary surgeon.
He leaves a wife and a family of 8 children. The family have the sympathy of the
entire community in their bereavement. An inquest was held Saturday by Deputy
Coroner, H. A. BUETTNER of Mt. Olive. Funeral services were held at the
house Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock; burial took place at West Prairie Cemetery.
