War Veteran Is Dead
World War Veteran Passes Away in Pueblo, Colorado, Sunday, June 2, Following Prolonged Illness
The following account of the death of Bert W. Malin, who formerly resided in Walnut, is taken from the columns of a Pueblo, Colorado newspaper of Monday, June 3d:
Bert W. Malin, beloved by his hosts of friends in Pueblo and a veteran of the World war, passed away yesterday at the family residence, 823 East Eighth street, following an illness of long duration, the result of having been gassed and shell-shocked in battle.
Mr. Malin spent four years of his life in the service of his country and participated in several of the great battles in the World war, receiving stars and citations for bravery, for carrying messages over the enemy's lines and other meritorious deeds. He was wounded on October 14th, 1918, and after his recovery served in the army of occupation from January 1, 1919, to July 13, 1919. Following his discharge at Fort D. A. Russell at Cheyenne, Wyoming, August 7, 1919, he again joined the army for one year the following December, serving at Rock Island arsenal in Illinois, and at Columbus Barracks, Columbus, Ohio, at which place he was discharged in December, 1920. He was married at Columbus and lived there a number of years. His health gradually failed, and in February, 1921, he went to Whipple Barracks, Prescott, Arizona, from the Dayton Military Hospital at Dayton, Ohio, and from there to Fitzsimmons Hospital at Denver, Colorado. However, he continued to grow worse and on April 20th last he was removed to the home of his parents in Pueblo, where he peacefully passed away on June 2d.
Mr. Malin was born in McAlisterville, Pennsylvania, March 17th, 1884, and in October 1885, the family moved to Walnut, Illinois, where ten years of his boyhood were spent. The family then moved to Rockford, Illinois, and nineteen years ago came to Pueblo.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Goldie Malin; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Malin; one sister, Mrs. Robert M. Clark of Pueblo, and one brother, Ivan B. Malin of Los Angeles, California.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the funeral chapel of T. G. McCarthy & Sons, with the Rev. W. E. Blackstock of the Bethel Methodist church officiating.
Many friends were in attendance and the floral tributes were many and beautiful. Mr. Malin was buried with full military honors, with veterans of the World war, Spanish-American war and Veterans of Foreign Wars participating. At the grave the flag service was exemplified with T. A. Vanderbur as officer of the day and a firing squad composed of H. W. Hammond, Charles Richards, George W. Pollard, L. H. Adams, Karl Kluge and T. A. Vanderbur, in charge of W. F. O'Neil. Taps were sounded by Sergeant W. V. Moses of the United States marine corps.
Pallbearers were: Dr. Darwin Clark, F. Ridley, William Darrough, Harley Clark, Harry Wilcox and Henry Craddock. T. A. Vanderbur and Sergeant M. V. Moses acted as flower bearers.
Interment was in Mountain View cemetery.
