CHARLES WALTER WEST

  Charles Walter West, aged 23 years, son of Mrs. Florence (Meyers) West, of 110 
Bedford Street, Cumberland, Md., died on Monday afternoon at 3:10 o'clock in the 
Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, following a mastoid operation.
  He was employed as a bacteriologist in the chemistry laboratory of the 
Johnstown hospital, and became a patient in that institution on Saturday, Sept. 
8.
  A native of Meyersdale, "Chuck", as he was familiarly known to his friends, 
received his early education in the local schools.  However, while still a high 
school student, he removed to Cumberland with his mother and graduated from 
Allegany High School in that city in 1934.  Following his graduation from 
Pennsylvania State College, he became affiliated with the Johnstown Memorial 
Hospital.
  In addition to his mother, Mr. West is survived by an uncle, E. Berkley 
Meyers, of Somerset, and three aunts, Mrs. Harry Campbell of Confluence, Mrs. 
Edwin C. Billings of Racine, Wisconsin, and Mrs. Raymond Gerwig, of Baltimore, 
Md.
  His father, Roy West, a civil engineer in the employ of the Western Maryland 
Railroad, was killed in an accident near Fairmont, West Virginia, when the 
deceased was but an infant.
  Funeral services were conducted at the Kight Funeral Home in Cumberland this 
(Thursday) afternoon, followed by interment in the Meyers family plot in Union 
Cemetery, Meyersdale.
