Charles Shewan Dies Suddenly
Charles Shewan of River street, who left here less than one month ago for Bethlehem, to work in the steel mills, died there suddenly yesterday morning of heart trouble. He arose at 5 o'clock to come home on the usual Sunday excursion train to spend the day, but within a half hour after getting out of bed dropped dead in his room. He was about 40, and is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ellen Shewan, and two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Fine, and Mrs. Henry Sorber, all of this place. Upon learning of his death the latter left at once for Bethlehem and returned last night. The body will arrive this afternoon.
