The body of WILLIAM HUYETT (sic), son of Archie Huyett, of Sharpsburg, was found Monday lying in a field beneath the N&W Ry bridge at Shepherdstown. The mans face was much discolored and bloated and he was identified with great difficulty.
He left his home last Friday to go to Virginia to pick apples. The body was found by Wm. Knode and the authorities notified. A jury of inquest was summoned and after viewing the body and hearing the testimony of the witnesses the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. From the evidence it is thought that he fell from the bridge to the field where he was found.
The body was taken in charge by Undertaker Leaf of Sharpsburg, and prepared for burial.
He was about 36 years of age and is survived by his parents, sister, Mrs. Chas. Marshall and brother, Charles.
Funeral this morning at 10 o'clock.
