H. D. Lucas Dead.
It is our sad duty again this week to chronicle the death of another of our esteemed citizens, Mr. H. D. Lucas. Death occurred at his home in south part of the city at 7:30 a. m. - Wednesday. Mr. Lucas had been in poor health for a number of years and he and his friends realized that his death was near, but none suspected his being called so soon. He was able to be about town on Monday and was not considered at all seriously ill on Tuesday, although not seemingly as strong as the day before. He has been suffering with a complication of diseases, consumption and kidney trouble especially ailing him. The direct cause of his death is attributed to the latter.
He was 49 years of age, was born in Indiana and came to Iowa from Fairbury, Neb , in '89, locating on a farm west of Shambaugh where he resided till eight years ago when he moved to Clarinda. He leaves a sorrowing wife and four children. Martin and Otis are known to our readers as the clerks in the Clarinda post office. They were in Creston as witnesses before the federal grand jury at the time of their fathers death. The other son, Claude, is in business at Sturgis, S. Dak., and a daughter, Maude, is at home.

The funeral will be held from the home at 2:30 o'clock .this afternoon, conducted by Rev. IlgenFritz. Obituary notice will appear in our Tuesday's issue.

Lyman, Charles -

Chas. Lyman Succumbs to Runaway Injury
Accident Happened  Saturday Morning—Horse Frightened by Motor-cycle
DECEASED FORMERLY
CLARINDA MERCHANT
One of  the City's Oldest and Most Esteemed Citizen
As the result of a runaway which occured in this city Saturday morning, Chas. Lyman, one of Clarinda's oldest as well as most esteemed citizens died Monday afternoon at 1:50 o'clock p.m. at the home of his son, Harry Lyman on East Grant St.
Mr. Lyman had an errand, at the time just mentioned, to the Berry Poultry Farm on West Willow St. As his home lies a short distance east of this city, and' too far for one of his age to comfortably walk, he had harnessed a team with which to make the trip. This team consisted of a spotted pony which Mr. Lyman is in the habit of driving, and another horse. The pony on other occasions had given some trouble, but Mr. Lyman did not seem afraid to drive him. He was accompanied on his trip to town by a grandson who makes his home with him.
The two had transacted their business at the Poultry Farm and had reached a point on Willow St. not many blocks to the east.     Here the pony became frightened    and ran away. While trying to overcome the unruly team, Mr.  Lyman was thrown under the horses and dragged a considerable distance, his head being dashed against a telephone pole, meanwhile.     The force of the blow crushed the skull near the left temple and rendered it's victim, unconscious.
The injured man was immediately taken to the home of his son and medical assistance summoned. Since the time of the accident, the patient has laid in just the same condition except that the thread of existence grows weaker as the   time passes. Those watching beside his bed thought would not be possible for him to endure through the night, Sunday,but he passed the hours in the same way as the preceding, with a show of little less strength at their close. Mr. Lyman has made his home in this city for many years.     In his early career, he was associated in the hardware business with the late James Dunlap, finally selling out his interests to Mr. Mart Alexander, whom any of the older residents remember.       Mr.   Lyman remained . the establishment in the capacity clerk.      Later on, he went into hardware  business again, this time on the west side of the square, and without a partner.     This business continued for a number of years, when Mr. Lyman again went out of active mercantile life, taking up the practice of his trade as a tinner. He was employed by the Clarinda Hardware Co. and the Sperry Hardware Co, both for extended periods of time.    Finally, wishing to get away from business life in Clarinda, he went into the making of galvanized chicken coops, incubators, etc., at his home   east  of  here,  succeeding in building up a splendid trade among the farmers of this vicinity, especially.
In this work, he is assisted by his grandsons, who with their mother, have made their home with Mr. Lyman for several years.
Mr. Lyman is reserved by nature, disposed to want to keep himself in the background, rather than seem to appear conspicuous. He is, however, despite this quality, the soul of honor and one upon whom his acquaintances place the highest estimate of value. His exceedingly horrible accident has shocked and pained the entire community, especially those who have had opportunity of knowing him. His age, for we judge him to be be-accident [?] seem doubly worse. In at-tween seventf and eighty[?], makes the tendance upon him, are his son, mentioned before, and his daughter, Mrs. Alva Lochry. besides several stalwart grandsons, who have been a great source of pride as well as able assistants, to their grandparent.

CHARLES LYMAN KILLED
BY RUNAWAY HORSE
Early Resident met Accidental Death. Skull crushed when Horse became frightened
A distressing accident occured Saturday morning at about 9 o'clock, when the horse being driven by Charles Lyman became frightened by the shafts falling down, while Mr. Lyman was driving the horse, hitched to a light spring wagon, on W. Willow Street, in front of the F. C. Duff residence.   Mr. Lyman had been on business at the A. A. Berry residence. Leaving there he  started eastward on Willow Street.   Workmen on the G. A. Bagnall residence now being built, say they saw the shaft at one side fall down.   The horse before that seemed to be excited, when the rig was at the corner of 18th and Willow Streets, but seemed to be under control, and none thought much about it. What caused the shaft to fall down, none knows, for then the horse started to run, the falling shaft striking the telephone pole at the side of the road, throwing rider and buggy into a heap, which the horse dragged to the middle of the road, where the rig tipped over, throwing Mr. Lyman out into the road where he was picked up a short time afterward, and taken into the shade, while Doctors Killinggsworth and Sellards were phoned for.   Mr. Lyman at that time was alive and breathing, it could be seen. The belief of those nearest at the time is that he was thrown against the telephone pole when the rig first struck it.   Upon removal to the home of his son Harry Lyman, on E. Grant Street, it was found his skull was fractured at the base of the brain, besides other injuries to head and arms, part of these injuries from the fall, part at the time the horse was dragging him.   Relatives were quickly notified, for it was seen that the injury was serious.   Mr. Lyman did not regain consciousness, but lingered until Monday afternoon about two o'clock, when he breathed his last.
The funeral was held at the home east of Clarinda on Wednesday morning, as stated in the obituary in another part of this paper.
The death of Charles Lyman marks the passing of another of our old residents.   It was in 1868 that Mr. Lyman came to this city and county, before the days of railroads, riding over land from Chariton, la., in a covered wagon, with Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Berry.   He was a tinner by trade, as his father was before him, and has had much to do with the building of residences here, working first for Mr. Berry as tinner, later for Mr. Dunlap, and afterward did work on his own account, his business of late having been largely the making and selling of brooder coops, at his home east of town. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 26, 1917
