Chess W. Biggerstaff, age about 36 years, was killed March 8th in an accident while in the employ of a large construction company in Florida, according to telegrams received here Saturday by his father Robert Biggerstaff, formerly of Lattimore, now living near Ellenboro. Mr. Biggerstaff had been in Florida about five months working for a large railroad construction company. Details of the accident, which brought about death, have not been learned.
It is understood that his body was brought to Lattimore and carried to Rehobeth church, where it was interred Monday. He was a brother of Mrs. S.C. Crawley of Lattimore, W.P., Biggerstaff of Lattimore, Tom A., I.N., and Joe Biggerstaff of Rutherford county. He was married to a Miss McCoy of Lincoln county, who died last June. For a while he lived in Charlotte, going from there to Florida, where he met with a fatal accident.
Several telegrams were exchanged before his relatives were located, after which they asked that his body be returned to Cleveland county for interment. Information is being awaited by the relatives as to the nature of the accident which caused his death.
