Mr. Oliver Wagner, a lineman in the employ of the Hickory Electric Company, died suddenly 1 in the work room in the rear ot' the telephone exchange last Fri day afternoon. iie had been out after dinner doing some repair -work to tele phones and came back to the ufike about 1:30, and went di rectly to the work room. On go- J ing into the work room about; two o'clock for a piece of wire to use in testing a battery,' Mr. N. S. Dasher, the manager, heard a noise like some one breathing heavily. On making an investi gation he found him lying be hind a work bench in a dying condition. Dr. Menzies, who was upstairs in the office, was called. He in turn summoned Di\ Stevenson and these two pi ysicians made every effort to re\ ive him but to no avail. Dr. Meiizies stated that he was dead when he first reached him, No one was with him at the time ne was stricken, and the cayse ol his death is attributed to neart failure, although he hadaiways seemed in perfect health, and was heard to remark at noon when he was returning to work, that he never ieit better in his life. There was no passible chance of his death being due to an electric shock, as the only electric wire in the room was-» drop cord for an electiic bulb, and he was not found near this. The funeral services were helo from the home Saturday after noon, conducted by Key. J. D- Harte, assisted bv Rev. J. E. Barb, after which the body was taken to St. Stephens church several miles east of the city where it was laid to rest in the cemeterv beside his father ano mother who had both preceeaea him to the other side. He was in his twenty-first year and leaves two brothert and five sisters. - - A large number of people at tended tne funeral services anG Ithe beautiful floral offerings be spoke the high esteem in which he was held. He will be greatly missed by all, but more especial ly by his heart broken sisters, with whom he made his home. They were prostrated with grief. These verses were suggesteo bv a friend on learning of his death: Inscrutable and the unknown Are the ways of Providence. Why death should claim him his own, And take this worthy lineman thence. No one so needed in his sphere. Bearing his burdens day by day, To help and comfort dear ones here. Why take him suddenly away? The Lord alone knows what is best; That is all we can know now. Eternity will show the rest. It is his will and we must bow. The unseen hand will still pro vide For all his dear ones left alone; Unerringly their steps will guide Into the shadows of the un known. The life beyond is not a dream— Later on we will understand, But we must cross Death's sullen stream To see and know,thac better land.
