HAD PNEUMONIA
George Entwistle, 65, and Joseph Entwistle, 74, Succumbed After Removal to Hospital by Neighbors
Lack of medical attention is blamed today for the death of George Entwistle, sixty-five, and his brother, Joseph Entwistle, seventy-four, both of 110 Clay street. Neighbors summoned the police to the house late last night and the brothers were found in a critical condition, suffering from pneumonia. The younger brother died a short time after his admittance to the Barnert hospital, while the older brother died early this morning.
Victims Were Painters
Both men were painters and had been in ill health for several weeks. Their failure to appear about the house caused neighbors to investigate last night and upon entering they found both men seriously ill.
Detective Edward Moore was sent to investigate and caused the removal of the unfortunate men to the Barnert hospital, where their deaths occurred a short time later. They resided alone at the Clay street address.
The detectives who investigated the case learned that both men, although ill, had been attempting to care for the other, until their conditions caused them to be bedridden. The elder brother was also suffering from heart disease.
Funeral arrangements are in charge of Undertaker H. E. Mertel and are incomplete.
