SUDDEN DEATH.

One if Tyrone's Young Men Loses His Life in Yesterday's Disaster.

From yesterday's Daily Herald.

  Raymond Lee Dysart, one on Tyrone's most exemplary young men, was 
among the victims of the bridge disaster in Canada, the details of 
which appear in our telegraphic news on the first page, a disaster 
which horrified the entire country today; and as a result the large 
family of which he was a loving and loved member is plunged into the 
deepest gloom. His mother, Mrs. Matilda Dysart, who has been in 
extremely delicate health for several years, is totally prostrated by 
the shock. The oldest sister, Miss Lou, was away from home when the 
telegram announcing her brother's death arrived. She has been sent for 
and will arrive sometime this afternoon.
  The young man whose sudden and horrible death is the cause of so much 
sorrow, was born in Tyrone, March 20, 1878. Here he continued to reside 
until last fall when he found work in McKeesport where he worked until 
last March when he secured employment with the Phoenix bridge company 
and had been with them up to the time of the disaster of yesterday.
  Besides the sorrow-stricken mother, two brothers and four sisters 
mourn their loss: Robert Emmett, of Lawrence, Mass.; Edwin I., Louisa, 
Jennie M., Helen B., and Laura M., of Tyrone.
  Death is always startling and repellent, but seldom, if ever, has the 
presence of the grim monster been felt in so appalling a manner as on 
this occasion. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire 
community.
