COLDWATER, Mich, June 23 (U. P.) —Like a stalk of ripened grain missed by the mower, Willard Hyatt has seen death take all his kin, and has waited hopefully for it for the past five years, but he still lives.

Mr. Hyatt’s celebration of his 85th birthday today in Burlington, Mich., near here, probably will be a repetition of the fantastic chore he has

Looks now as though they made a mistake: or overlooked me.” During the years Mr. Hyatt has awaited death he has spent hours every day in the burial plot just
