BARWIS

  Bertram Barwis, who figured rather prominently in the press of this 
city a little more than a year ago, died in New Haven, Conn., Saturday 
evening, according to a telegram received by his mother, Mrs. Mary 
Barwis of 2020 Seventh avenue, yesterday morning.  No particulars were 
given in the telegram.  He was born in this city thirty-two years ago 
and besides his mother is survived by a wife and three children, 
Frances, Dorothy and Henry.  Two brothers, Scott at home and Stewart in 
France, also survive.  He left this city in July of last year, after 
leaving his occupation as a machinist at the East Altoona Round house, 
but it was not until a few days ago that relatives in this city learned 
of his whereabouts.  A step-brother, John Barwis, of New York city, has 
been communicated with by Mrs. Barwis and he will go to New Haven to 
make funeral arrangements.
