Baur Dies In California (Continued from Page One) Just before the Post went to press last evening the following message was received from Mrs. -Baur’s sons in Philadelphia: Dear Mr. Risley: We were just informed by our brother Ray of Mother's death in her apartment in Los Angeles at 9 a.m. yesterday morning. The cause was evidently a heart attack as she was found in a chair at the time. Due to distance and wartime res- trictions----services and cremation will be held in Los Angeles and the ashes will be brought back by her son Raymond. It is planned that a memorial service will be held in Wilkes-Barre date and time to be decided upon later. However, it is requested that no floral offerings be sent---that donations to the Red Cross be made instead. We understand that you go to press Thursday--but announcement of the service to be held will be in the Wilkes-Barre Record as soon as it has been decided upon, Very truly, Fred D. Baur Robert A.
