Charles T. Bauer, local insurance broker and an untiring crusader for first aid instruction and fire prevention, died last evening at 7:20 in the Allentown hospital. Admitted to the hospital on May 13 of last year, Mr. Bauer was in his 43rd year. Born in Allentown on March 8, 1902, he was the son of Mrs. Emma, nee Trexler, and the late Morris D. Bauer. His father, a prominent shoe manufacturer, was associated in the firm of Stahler & Bauer which operated for many years on Liberty St., near 13th. Mr. Bauer attended the Allentown public schools, Allentown High school, and graduated from the Allentown Preparatory school. He continued his educational training at Muhlenberg college and later studied medicine at McGill university, Montreal, Canada, for two years. On Nov. 25, 1929, he entered the insurance business as manager for the Allentown district of the Atlantic Corporation. Two years later he entered business for himself under the name of Bauer & Co. This corporation has been operating in the Commonwealth Bldg., Allentown, since then. Aside from his professional duties, Mr. Bauer spent considerable time to further the instruction of first aid in the Allentown area. His interest in fire prevention and attending fires were also well known. Fraternally he was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, social fraternity, Muhlenberg college; International Association of Fire Chiefs; National Board of Fire Underwriters; Livingston club, Allentown; and the Skytop club. In addition to his work in the Allentown chapter of the American Red Cross, he was also an examiner for merit badges in first aid and public health of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Bauer was a member of Christ Evan. Lutheran church. Interest in music was reflected through his membership of the chancel choir of Salem Evangelical and Reformed church. He was a teacher of a young man’s Bible class at Salem. Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Emma, nee Trexler, Bauer of 107 N. 11th St., with whom he resided; a brother, Dr. John T. Bauer, pathologist for the Pennsylvania hospital, Philadelphia; a niece, Elizabeth R. Bauer; and a nephew, John T. Bauer, Jr., the latter all of Philadelphia. Services will be conducted at the J. S. Burkholder funeral home, 1601 Hamilton St., on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Interment in the Grandview cemetery.
