Lute Worley, one of the well known engineers on the C & O, died very suddenly on Tuesday night from heart trouble, his death occurring at the Withrow Pool Room on Summers St, where he was watching a game of pool.
Mr Worley had been at the Mayor's Office and after talking with some of his friends there, walked to the pool room half a block away. He was sitting in a chair and had been there but a few minutes when he fell forward on the floor, and died before a physician could reach him.
A physician was summoned and stated that his death was due to heart failure. He had been complaining some but was walking about and seemed to be about in his usual health.
The remains were prepared for burial at the Meadows Undertaking parlors, and will be buried at Ronceverte, or at Beaver, near East Raleigh, but this has not been fully arranged at this hour.
Mr Worley was about 55 years of age. He had been employed by the C & O for probably 25 years, and was one of their careful engineers. Some years ago he was badly injured in a wreck near Hawks Nest and it was several months before he was able to take his position again on the road. He leaves an aged father and mother, Mr and Mrs Tazewell Worley of near Ronceverte, three brothers and one sister Mrs Bruce of near Ronceverte.
He also leaves a large circle of friends in this city and along the C & O where he was so well know.
