Philip Cubbedge Claimed By Death. friends Here Shocked by News of His Passing in a Hospital in Los Angeles. Was Victim of Pneumonia.
Friends here of Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Cubbedge of Rogers Street and members of their family were shocked at the news Sunday of the death of their oldest son, Philip G. Cubbedge, which occurred following a brief illness from pneumonia in a hospital in Los Angeles, Calif., where he had been making his home for several years. Mrs. Cubbedge, who is teaching at Marshall College, Huntingdon, had started for California, but shortly after leaving Huntingdon, a telegram was received announcing her son's death had occurred at 1:15 Sunday morning. Mrs. Cubbedge had only reached Columbus when M.P. Shawkney, President of Marshall College, succeeded in getting a message to her telling of her son's death. Mrs. Cubbedge immediately returned to Huntingdon and arrived here last night, accompanied by her son and daughter, Wayne L. Cubbedge and Miss Bettie Cubbedge. Nothing was known of the illness of Philip until Saturday when Mrs. Cubedge received a telegram announcing his critical condition. Mrs. Cubbedge immediately notified Mr. Cubbedge, who was at his home in Bluefield, and he advised her to wire the hospital at Los Angeles to keep her in close touch as to his condition. Mrs. Cubbedge later received a telegram saying his condition was so grave physicians did not think he would survive the day. Mrs. Cubbedge shortly afterwards started for Los Angeles but was stopped at Columbus when she was advised of her son's death. It is expected the remains will be brought to Bluefield for interment, but late last night definite funeral arrangements had not been made. Yesterday morning Mr. Cubbedge advised the hospital at Los Angeles to have the body embalmed and held pending disposition. If the remains are brought back to Bluefield for burial, it will probably be Saturday or Sunday before the funeral can be held. Philip was well known in Bluefield. He was born and raised here, and attended the local schools. He was a very popular young man. Six years ago, he left Bluefield, having enlisted in the U.S. Navy. His enlistment period covered all the time the United States was participating in the World War. After serving four years in the Navy, he settled in Los Angeles and opened a small garage, but later sold out his business, and at the time of his death, was working for a telephone company in Los Angeles, being their chief automobile mechanic. He was aged twenty years, being the elder child. Besides his parents, he is survived by one brother and one sister, both of whom have been attending school this year in Huntingdon, where Mrs. Cubbedge has been teaching.
