"Chock Fey Dies, Declared Dead in First World War
Carl "Chock" L. Fey, 51, of 34 William street, Schuylkill Haven, was stricken with a heart attack and died suddenly at his home Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. He was found lying on the floor of the sitting room by his young grandson, Michael Hesser.
A native and lifelong resident of Schuylkill Haven, he was a son of the late Carl and Lottie Bolton Fey and was a veteran of World War I. At the age of 16 he enlisted in the Army and served with the 28th Infantry.
The following year he was badly wounded in Somme, France, and taken prisoner by the Germans. The War department, not knowing that he had been taken prisoner, sent official word to his parents that he had died in action. After receiving this notice, funeral services were held at his parents' home and the insurance was collected. After his release from the prison camp, he wrote home and another telegram was received by his family from the government notifying them he was alive.
He returned to this country and received his discharge at the Fort MaHenry hospital, Md., in 1919. Part of his jaw was removed by the wound, but otherwise he was in good condition.
He was a member of the Grace Evangelical church; the V. F. W., Pine Grove; American Legion Post, Port Carbon; Liberty Hose company, Schuylkill Haven, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
To survive he leaves his wife, the former Florence Schaeffer; two daughters, Jean, wife of Jos. Hesser, Reading, and LaMae, wife of Edward Renninger, Pine Grove R. D. 2; one son, Earl, Pottsville R. D. 1, and four grandchildren. He was the last member of his immediate family.
The funeral was held today from the D. M. Bittle' funeral home with burial in Union cemetery. The Rev. F. R. Cardwell conducted services and military rites were in charge of the V. F. V., Pine Grove, and American Legion Post, Port Carbon."
