--- Tyson Cole and James Curley contract double pneumonia following accident which results in death to both within a few days. Funeral services for the former held Tuesday and for the latter, Monday ---

-

Double pneumonia and shock, following in the wake of the automobile accident a week ago last Saturday when the Ford sedan occupied by James Curley and Tyson Cole, both of Burlingame, turned over three times after striking a loose sand bank on the highway just east of town, resulted in the death of both men, Curley dying at the St.. Francis hospital in Topeka about noon Saturday and Cole at his home here in Burlingame Sunday morning. Atthe time of the wreck, it was thought that Curley was the more seriously injured and he was taken from the scene to the Topeka hospital, though X-ray examinations there are said to have failed to reveal any internal injuries or broken bones. Cole was brought to his home here. Until their death both men had been in a paralytic condition in the lower part of their bodies, and with the development of double pneumonia, death was a matter of but a few days. ---

Tyson Cole was born at Fulton, Ohio, October 4, 1874, lacking only a few days of being 57 years of age at the time of his death, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cole, to Kansas in 1879, first settling at Peterton, and coming to Burlingame in 1882. For a number of years he was connected with the Santa Fe Railroad here as a telegraph operator, and became known as an expert with the key. More recently, however, he had been engaged in mining work, and was so employed at the time of his death, though not working that particular day on account of there having been no coal cars set out for loading at the mine.
