Portland Observer, 23 Jul 1936

Eugene Barrus, 76, died at Charlevoix, Saturday, one-half hour after a swing 
bridge over the channel between Round lake and Lake Charleviox pinned him 
against a pier piling.  He had been fishing and started to obey the bridge 
tender’s warning when his clothing caught on a timber in such a manner that he 
could not extricate himself, the swinging bridge crushing the life from his 
body.

The Neller ambulance went to Charlevoix and brought the body to Portland.  
Funeral services were held at the Neller chapel Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. 
Neller officiating.  Burial was made in St. Johns cemetery.

Mr. Barrus was a former Portland resident, leaving this vicinity several years 
ago for Charlevoix.  Clarence and Herbert DeLaVergne, of Portland, are nephews.
