HEART ATTACK TAKES TWO MORE COUNTY MEN. Two more Eagle county men, each prominent in his respective community, died suddenly, 24 hours apart this week. George STROHM....
Henry BERGER, 51, a resident of Eagle for more than twenty years and agent at the D&RG Depot here, suffered an attack early Wednesday evening, as he was mowing the lawn at his home in the depot. He died within an hour after the heart attack.
No funeral Arrangements have been made to date, pending word from his son, Ensign Bob BERGER, who is with the Navy Air Corps somewhere on the Swedish coast. Bowman Chapel has charge of arrangements.
Mr. BERGER is survived by his wife, Lois; his son, Bob and one daughter, Beatrice LOVING of Denver.
The two deaths were similar to that of Byron D. PRICE in Minturn, a few days before, when Mr. Price died of a heart attack as he sat down to eat breakfast--each one a shock to many close friends--and each man will be deeply missed in his community--Gypsum, Eagle and Minturn, for they each held highly respected place in the esteem of his neighbors.

HENRY BERGER BURIED TODAY. Funeral services were held in the Eagle Methodist church this morning for Henry R. BERGER, by Rev. Delbert PAULSON. Burial will be in Salida.
Mr. BERGER died suddenly of a heart attack at his home Wednesday evening, Sept. 24 while working in the yard at the BERGER home.
Henry Rudolph BERGER, youngest of five children, was born Feb. 6, 1901 in Tennessee, the son of Henry and Mary BOWMAN BERGER. The family then moved to Kentucky and when Henry was nine years old, they moved to Orlando, Oklahoma, where he grew to manhood and received his education. Following graduation, he attended telegraphy school and in 1921 came to Colorado.
In 1923, Henry BERGER and Miss Estelle RULE of Leadville were united in marriage. To this union were born two children, Beatrice and Robert.
In 1928 Mr. BERGER became the agent-telegrapher at the Eagle depot of the Denver and Rio Grande railway company, holding that position at the time of his death.
During his early years, Mr. BERGER was active on baseball teams and was an avid sports fan. While still a young man, he became afflicted with arthritis, and gave up these activities. Interested in civic and community affairs he served on the Eagle Town Board of Trustees. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Glenwood Springs.
Surviving are his wife, Lois of Eagle; daughter, Beatrice Loving, Denver; son, Ensign Robert BERGER, U.S. Navy pilot; three brothers, Roy of Verden, Okla.; William of Raymond, Kansas, and C. J. of Whittier, Calif; one sister, Beulah of Stillwater, Okla., and two grandchildren.
Ensign BERGER, who had been on a mission in Europe, arrived in Eagle Wednesday morning.
Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Bowman Funeral Chapel.
