ILLNESS IS FATAL TO CLARENCE HYDE

The funeral of the late Clarence Hyde, aged 35, resident of Manns Choice, 
Bedford county, who died early yesterday at the Timmins hospital at Everett, is 
to be held on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Mulligans Grove Christian 
church in charge of Rev. N. A. Stamm.  Interment will follow in the church 
cemetery.

Hyde's life was prolonged for a considerable period of time with the use of a 
respirator which had been sent to Everett and Bedford county section from 
Philadelphia in connection with flood relief work.  When Hyde's precarious 
condition became known, on direct orders from Mayor s. Davis Wilson of 
Philadelphia, the machine was set up at the hospital and used to keep Hyde 
alive.

The man had suffered from a ruptured gastric ulcer and underwent an operation at 
the hospital.  His condition became critical and with the use of the respirator, 
he was apparently improving until night before last he suffered a severe relapse 
which ended in his death at 5:30 Friday morning.

The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Hyde of Manns Choice and in 
addition to his parents, surviving are his wife, Mrs. Vesta (Steckman) Hyde, two 
children, Mildred P. and James C. Hyde, at home; a brother, Reynold, and three 
sisters, Bertha B., Frances K. and Pauline Hyde.
