BARTHOLOMEW RITES WILL BE HELD TODAY
Dr. George Morgan Ward Will Officiate at Service for Pioneer Winter Resident
Funeral services for Mrs. Rita Tryon Bartholomew, pioneer winter resident of Palm Beach, who died late Sunday night at her home on Park avenue, will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the Ferguson chapel. The body is to be held until later when it will be taken from a vault to the family home at Rehrersburg, Pa., for burial.
Dr. George Morgan Ward, of whose congregation at the Poinciana Chapel she was a member, will officiate at the services. A group of old time friends of the family will serve as honorary pall-bearers.
Mrs. Bartholomew has been coming here each winter since 1893, her father, Owen Laubach, being a pioneer plantation owner at Lantana. Throughout a busy lifetime her love of Florida was exemplified in her work as artist and writer. She was the author of a number of articles on Florida in magazines and newspapers, and her work as an artist is known here where she was a member of the Art League. She was also active in the Woman's Club.
Surviving are two sons, Gene and H. C. Bartholomew. She was married in 1884 to H. E. Bartholomew, who died a number of years ago. Mrs. Bartholomew has traveled much in Europe during her late years, but has been in ill health during the past two years.

BARTHOLOMEW, HARVEY C. A resident of Palm Beach since 1910, Mr. BARTHOLOMEW is an architect
and builder whose creative work has found expression in some of the finest homes of this
famous winter resort.
Mr. BARTHOLOMEW was born in Chicago, in 1887. As a boy he manifested special talent for
drawing, and his education was directed in a way to train this talent. He attended the
Chicago Normal School, the Chicago Manual Training School and the Drexel Institute in
Philadelphia. After completing his education he became a teacher and supervisor of manual
training. For ten years he was engaged in this professional work at Pittsburgh, where the
manual training department has reached its highest efficiency as an adjunct of the public
school system. After serving for several years as a teacher of manual and industrial
training in the manual training department, he was promoted to supervisor of the Colfax
District of the Pittsburgh schools. The interests of teaching made a strong claim upon
his ambition, and he retired from the work only to provide for himself and family a better
future than could be secured in the teaching profession.
A well qualified architect, Mr. BARTHOLOMEW located at Palm Beach in 1910. Since then he
has been accorded a growing volume of business as an architect and as a building contractor.
A large part of his business has been designing and constructing residences for the wealthy
class of people who make Palm Beach their winter home. All of his designs are distinctive,
and the architectural expert can trace his individual styles in many of the homes of this
winter resort. His style has been developed as a result of a practical study of local
problems, with a special reference to climate and the sub-tropical surroundings. A feature
of construction that he has developed and may in fact be said to be his trade mark as a
builder, is the rolled-eave roof, utilizing a composition shingle in a very attractive way
by rolling the eaves. This feature has largely been copied by other designers.
From a long list of modern homes of which Mr. BARTHOLOMEW has been architect of in Palm
Beach, a few may be mentioned: The Glidden residence, and the residences of CHARLES LAMBERT,
Mrs. CHARLES TEMPLE, Mrs. CHARLES S. BRACKETT and SIDNEY MADDOCK. While the bulk of his
business has been in his home city, Palm Beach, he has also erected both residence and
business buildings in West Palm Beach. Mr. BARTHOLOMEW married Miss CAROLYN JACOBSEN of
Chicago. They have twin daughters, HELEN LOUISE and MAURITA CAROLYN.
NOTE: Another Jacob Laubach, who died in Minnesota in 1925, has Rebecca Sybilla Laubach and Owen Laubach linked to him as his mother and father on Find a Grave, but all investigation of the Jacob Albert Laubach who lived and died in Minnesota suggests that he was born in Germany, not Pennsylvania, and the link was erroneously made through the similarities of names.
Their children: Jacob Albert, Mary Anna, John, Rita married Harvey C. Bartholomew, Adaline Isabella, and Blanche Virginia, born in Chicago, Ill. who married Harvey C. Stambaugh. Blanche Viriginia Laubach Stambaugh Owen and Rebecca Laubach were the grandparents of artist Elsa Laubach Jemne.
