Wiley Jarman is crushed to death at Mine No. 14, Friday afternoon at three o'clcok--Buried at West Prairie Sunday.
The sweeping suddenness of death was demonstrated in this city last Friday when at 3 o'clock one of our citizens was walking around the city in perfect health and at 6 o'clock or three hours later, lay a silent corpse at his home, from an accident at the mine No. 14. Mr. Wiley Jarman, and 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 developing 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.
