ROBERT McINTYRE

  Sergeant Robert McIntyre, aged 38, veteran of the World War, passed away at 
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McIntyre, on East Main Street, 
Berlin, on Christmas Eve.  Injuries he received in the second Battle of the 
Marne, superinduced by pneumonia, caused his death.
  He was one of the seven surviving sergeants who fought in the Battle of the 
Marne as members of Company C, 110th Regiment, under Captain W. Curtis Truxal of 
Somerset.  Captain Truxal, upon hearing of Sergeant McIntyre's death, remarked: 
"He was one of the bravest and finest fellows in the army."
  The 35 or 40 surviving members of old Company C turned out for the funeral on 
Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 27.  Services were conducted at the bereaved home by 
Rev. C. P. Bastian, pastor of the Berlin Lutheran Church.  Interment was made in 
the Berlin I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
  The six surviving sergeants of Company C who took part in the Battle of the 
Marne acted as pallbearers, namely Kenneth Brant, of Pittsburgh; Hobert Kemp, 
Connellsville; Harry Campbell, Confluence; Alvey Martz, Glencoe; Roy Huston, and 
Martin L. Markel, Somerset.  The Berlin American Legion post of which Sergeant 
McIntyre was a member fired a salute.  The firing squad was commanded by Bert 
Stuck, of Berlin.  "Taps" was sounded by two overseas buglers, Walter B. Jones, 
of Somerset, and A. L. Gates, of Altoona.
  In addition to his parents, Sergeant McIntyre is survived by his wife, Orpha; 
two sons, Owen and Graham, at home; and these brothers and sisters:  James 
McIntyre, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Graham Hamilton, New York City; M. J. Duskin, 
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Harry Leslie, Berlin.
