Floor LUZERNE, PA. THE POST, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1950 Carl Walters | Dies Of Weak Heart Attempts To Return To Work, Drops Dead Carl W. Walters, Carpenter road, Harvey's Lake, died suddenly on Friday after a short illness of com- bined pneumonia and pleurisy from which he thought he had sufficient- ly recovered to go back to work. Realizing that he felt unwell, he went to his mother’s house at 72 East Ross street, Wilkes-Barre, close to his place of employment at Anthony Wideman’s meat market, and dropped dead from a weaken- ed heart. His wife, summoned from New York where she had been having medical attention, was shocked at the circumstance, as Carl, more widely known as Mike, had never been ill. His mother, Mrs. Catherine Wal- ters, 88 years old, has lost her only son, born to her long after normal child-bearing years, and very close. With his place near at hand, he had always eaten dinner with her. Mr. and Mrs. Walters had been living at Harvey's Lake only a little over two years, having built a new home there so that they could live in the hills. Born in Wilkes-Barre and edu- cated at St. Vincent's, he was a, member of St. Nicholas Church and the Holy Name Society. He en- joyed all forms of sports, hunted, fished, and bowled. Mr. Walters is survived by his wife, the former Eleanor Myers; his mother; four sisters, Mrs. Ja- cob Reinhardt, Mrs. Jacob J. Lis- man, and Mrs. Emma Baiz, all of Wilkes-Barre, and Elizabeth, at home. There are no children. He was buried from St. Nicholas Church with a requiem mass cele- brated at 9:30 Tuesday morning, and interred in St. Nicholas ceme- tery, Shavertown. Bearers were: Jack Nothoff, Mel- vin Watkins, Francis Reinhardt, Robert Hayward, Carl Fried, Harry Jones.
