LINEMAN DIES; PROBE ORDERED
Charles C. Chandler, 41, lineman for the Bell Telephone company, died suddenly at 9 o'clock last night at his residence, 1636 South Glenwood Avenue. Death is believed to have been due to internal injuries which developed from a strain sustained during his work.
Chandler first complained of being ill two days ago. He consulted a physician who could find nothing wrong with him. Last night he was suddenly taken ill and four physicians were called in for consultation. Chandler died before the attending physicians could relieve him. Upon their suggestion, Deputy Coroner R. L. Stubbs ordered an autopsy.
Chandler told his physician shortly after he was taken ill, that he may have strained himself while climbing poles and that this strain may have developed into a serious internal injury. A report of the investigation will be read at the inquest at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
The decedent is survived by his wife, Florence A. Chandler; one daughter, Adele; his foster-parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Chandler, Oklahoma City; father, H. H. Malin, Walnut, Ill; two brothers, Harry, Walnut and Earl, Kansas City, Mo; one sister, Zula, Walnut.
