Lewis Baurhyte was one of two employees killed in an explosion at the gas works facility in Poughkeepsie.
He had previously worked for about six years on one of the American Express Company's delivery wagons.
The newspaper reported that he was survived by a wife, the former Nettie Wilson, and a child who was about one year old. It also stated "that his wife is in a delicate condition."
His parents lived at Catskill Station in Columbia County, "his grandfather being Captain Baurhyte, well known along the river."
An article in the December 17, 1898 Poughkeepsie Daily Eagle described the accident and included a profile of the two victims; an article in the December 20th paper described the funerals of the two victims.
The funeral for Lewis Baurhyte was held from his residence at 132 Pine Street at 2:30 on Monday December 19th. The service was officiated by the Rev. A. P. Van Gieson of the First Reformed Church, of which Mr. Baurhyte had been a member.
