Rites for Jason C. Wyatt, will be Monday at 4 in Merril Moore mortuary, Rev. J. M. Moe officiating, and Tuesday at 2 his former home.

Death felled the World war veteran Saturday morning at the Veterans hospital, even as he mapped a last desperate move to evade his grim adversary.

Wyatt, 41, knew he had little chance to overcome his heart infection single handedly tine bead-like streptococcus viridans usually won when it settled in your heart.

HOPES SOARED FRIDAY
Friday, his hopes, soared. In Minneapolis, Wyatt read, doctors were going to try a blood transfusion on a woman with a similar ailment. The catch was the blood donor had recovered from a different viridans infection than the sick woman suffered.

Ideally, for a transfusion to help, the donor should have recovered from the very same illness. Even then it was a gamble. To a dying man, any gamble is worth trying. Maybe, Wyatt thought, he could find a blood donor, through a newspaper story perhaps.

The Fargo Forum interviewed Wyatt shortly before his sudden death, and a story appealing for the coveted blood was prepared. Before the story could be used, Wyatt was dead.

WAS FORMER FARMER
An orderly at the hospital the last eight years, he had farmed formerly in the Marion area. He leaves Mrs. Wyatt and four children, Marvin, Warren, Dorine and Francis; two sisters, Mrs. Gertrude McKenzie of Jamestown and Mrs. Clara Strand of Woodworth, and four brothers, Carl of Marion, Robert of Golden, Mont., and Edward and Clarence of Lamoille, Iowa, where he was born Feb. 16, 1897.
