Kills John Hyatt in West Madison
-----
Frank McKeand Loses Barn and Two Horses
At seven o'clock last night a heavy rain storm set in, lasting less than two hours, during which an inch and one-eighth of an inch of rain fell. There was a strong wind and vivid lightning accompaniment, which served to keep people in doors, and for the time being the street car service was suspended.
At the old John Ames homestead, 1057 West Madison, lightning struck and passed down the flue into the basement, killing Mr. John Hyatt, aged fifty-two years. Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt happened to be in the basement where the rain was pouring through a spouting; the lightning was flashing so that the wife called to her husband to come with her upstairs. He remained, however, supposedly to adjust the spouting. Seeing he did not follow, she went back to the basement and was horrified to find him lying motionless on the face. Her daughters gave the alarm and soon Mr. Peter Metzer, Mr. George Long and other neighbors were on the spot, and the body of the dead man was picked up and carried up stairs and placed on a bed. Dr. Denny was called and later Dr. Muret came, but the former had already examined the corpse, and there was nothing to do but wait for Coroner Cochran, who was out of the city. Mr. Hyatt was a sufferer from heart trouble. He was foreman of the Trow & Co. cooperage works and was a man of the highest standing with his employers and with all who knew him. He had been a Woodman, but his membership had lapsed, and he was not a member of any organization, though he attended church and believed in religion and the golden rule, which he practiced, and was devoted to the welfare of his family. He held a $500 life insurance policy with the Prudential company. He leaves a wife and six children--Eliza Alva, Bessie Maud, Mrs. Jessie Lee Furnish, George Howard, John Lawrence and Lewis Norwood. The time and place of the funeral will be fixed when his brothers in Kentucky are heard from.
The only mark discernible on his body was a small bruise on top of his ear and a cut across the chin which had probably come in contact with the iron spout.
