| 8492 |  | Obituary- Myers, Lyle Lyle Charles Myers was born at St. Clere, Pottawatomie Co., Kansas, Sept. 23, 1895, departed this life June 30, 1919, aged 23 years, 10 months and 7 days. Lyle had not been in good health since he had the Flu about the 21st of February, being sick only a week and probably went back to work too soon, as he continued to have a bad cough. His diary, in which he kept a strict account of everything he did of any importance each day, told just when he was Hick. His landlady, Mrs. Appleton of Kansas City, said she had told him to get some medicine for his cough, which he did, but had taken only a few doses of it. Lyle enlisted in the U. 8. navy in the radio wireless service, Nov. 28, 1917. He spent five months at the Great Lakes training station, came home the following April on a ten day furlough and shortly after his return to Great Lakes was sent to Harvard university. He remained there live mouths and then was sent to New London, Conn., where he took up wireless telephone work until he was discharged on December 20, 1918, subject to recall. He came home and spent one happy week with home folks. On January 1, 1919, he went to Kansas City where he was employed by the street railway company as a motorman and was still in their employ when he met his death. With two of his roommates, boys he was with while in the navy and his landlady and several other friends had made up a little party on Monday evening, June 30, at d gone out to Winnwood Lake on a bathing trip. Lyle had only been in the water about 15 minutes when his chum missed him. He said he thought he felt Lyle’s hands brush him as he went down. He was under the water about ten minutes before they got him out. The Doctor pronounced it heart failure as there was no water in his lungs. He made no noise or outcry, his companions report, just threw up his hands and went down. Lyle was a boy that always lived a strictly honest, upright life. His diary shows a regular attendance at church and that he had kept up his remittances to the M. E. church almost every week wherever he happened to be. He always attended the Methodist church. He was always kind and thoughtful and made hosts of friends wherever he went. A letter written to his mother the same day and not quite finished, proved he had not forgotten home folks. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Manion at the Presbyterian church, Friday, July 4th at 3 p. m. and interment made in the Rossville cemetery. Many beautiful flowers were sent by friends in Kansas City, Topeka and by home folks. | |
