WYCOFF, a carpenter, was whirled about the driving shaft of a temporary sawmill, adjoining the new Terminal Elevator, under construction in Armourdale, yesterday morning until he received injuries from which he died at 3:10 o'clock in the afternoon at the Bethany Hospital. WYCOFF's coat became entangled in the shaft. He had worked there only one day. Mr. WYCOFF was 38 years old and lived at 1804 East Tenth Street. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Emma WYCOFF. Burial will be at his birthplace in Garnett, Kas. This is the second of a series of accidents at the elevator in the last two days. D. B. FELTON, 36 years old, of 203 North Thorpe Avenue, Kansas side, and Sherman SEARCY, 27 years old, of 332 South Fifth Street, Kansas side, who were injured Monday when a heavy pipe, which was being raised swung around and struck them, are at the Bethany Hospital. FELTON's back was broken and he probably will die. SEARCY, whose leg was fractured will recover. ====================================================== added note: Mr. Wycoff resided on the Missouri side. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo9 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
