ARTHUR E. BRYER DEATH
DEATH CAUSE
NOT AGREED ON
Thers is a question in the minds of the authorities at Grasmere, N.H. as to the cause of death of Arthur E. Bryer, contractor at 461 Western Ave., this city, who was found dead on the road in that town yesterday morning.
One physician says the man died of a scock, another that he was killed by concussion of the brain, and his son, Walter Bryer, who found the body, will seek to learn if there was foul play. Medical Examiner Maurice Watson of Manchestr , N.H., has not made an official report, but by telephone today he told the Item that he belived the death was from natural causes.
Mr. Bryer and his son, Walter went to Grasmere for 10 days to draw wood from a timber lot to the railroad station, a distance of about nine miles. They started early yesterday morning for the wood lot. Mr Bryer driving one team and his son following with another about a half mile behind. About two miles out in the country the son came across his father, lying in the raod dead. with a cut in back of his right ear. He called for assistance and had the body removed to an undertaker's establishment and continued on after his father's team, which he found two miles further on the road.
"Physicians who examined the body differed in their opinion as to how father met his death", said his son Frank who was seen at his home on Western Ave. today after returning from New Hampshire. " One doctor said father died of a shock and another said it was concussion of the brain."Since father went to New Hampshire he had trouble with one of his men and discharged him. We did not know but father might have been attacked by him, but the road shows no sign of a scuffle and the body was found not far from a house. But I asked Walter to investigate the matter.
About 10 o"clock yesterday for noon, Mrs Bryer recieved a telegram from her son, Walter stating that his father had been seriously hurt.
The son Frank went to Grasmere and learned that his father was dead. The son Walter, sent the telegram as he did, fearing that the truth would be to much of a scock for his mother. The body will be brought to Lynn this afternoon.
Mr. Bryer was born in Saugus and educated in the public schools of his native town. He had resided in Lynn since 1890 and had been connected with contracting bussness most of his life. He had been a large employer of labor. Since establishing himself in business here in 1893, he had done rock excavating, sewer construction and cellar building in all parts of the city. He made a speciality of steam drill work and was a licensed drain layer. Mr Bryer executed many contracts for the city in the direction of putting in sewers, and his work had always been of the most satisfactory character and received much commendation.
Besides his wife the deceased is survived by three sons , Walter , Everett and Frank, a daughter , Susie, all whom live at home, four brothers Joseph G. Bryer of Melrose, formerly of Saugus; Giles Bryer of Saugus,John Bryer of Needham snd Stephen of Maine, and one sister, Mrs. May Lord of Saugus.
