Lloyd (Chub) Lucas Dead

Lloyd (Chub) Lucas, 32, of Wichita, died in a hospital at Halstead, Kansas, on Thursday of last week from shock and burns received by working on electric lines of the Kansas Gas & Electric Co. by which company he was employed. He was working with a gang near Burrton when he apparently slipped and fell into one of the switches. He was burned from the waist upward. The line with which he came in contact carried 66,000 volts.

Born in Cherokee, March 7, 1901, Mr. Lucas had resided here until he moved to Wichita about ten years ago. He was employed by the Kansas Gas & Electric Company there. His fahter, J.E. Lucas, is city marshal of Cherokee.

Surviving him are the widow, Mrs. Ann Lucas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hunt of Cherokee; two children, Ileen and Lloyd Wayne, both of the home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Lucas of Cherokee; two brothers, Percy Lucas of Cherokee and Graden Lucas of Columbus; and four sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Logan of Fort Scott, Mrs. Jessie Zimmerman of Columbus and Misses Murial and Leona Lucas of the home here.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. Fred Clark, and burial was in the Cherokee cemetery. The church was not large enough to accomodate the many friends who came to attend the services. His associated from Pittsburg and Wichita, and the many employees of the Kansas Gas & Electric Co., from the bosses down to the day laborer were here to do honor to "Chub." He was a likeable fellow and we never heard anyone say a word against him. It is too bad that so bright and fine a man should be taken in the prime of life, but that is one of the things that we cannot understand, but one of the things that we have to face. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved ones.
