He was a skilled mechanic and his services were much sought after. For many years he worked in the shop of the late William Ramsey and also conducted a shop on Washington and at another time on Pike Street.  “Dick” Hiatt as he was more often called was an industrious citizen and was well liked by those who knew him.  He was a soldier in the Civil War and member of the Baptist Church in this city. Besides his widow the deeased leaves three daughters and one son. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. – kbz
