Albert J. Eck, for the past three years chief engineer at the Allentown hospital and, prior to that, engineer at the Daeufer Brewing company for a period of thirty years, died yesterday afternoon at his home, 1923 Tilghman street, from a complication of ailments. He was 63 years old. Mr. Eck, in failing health for the past year, only last week returned from a motor trip to his stepson, Luther Abele, in Cleveland, and his demise yesterday will come as a great shock to his friends, particularly those who knew him while he was in the brewing plant before prohibition days. Mr. Eck is survived by his wife, two sons, Clarence, of Reading; Calvin, of this city; one daughter, Mrs. Robert Erie, of this city; three step-children, Miss Anna Abele, and Russell Abele, of this city; Luther Abele, of Cleveland; a brother, Morris, of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. A. J. Boyer, and Mrs. W. R. Keiser, both of Topton. Funeral services will be held at his late home, 1923 Tilghman street, on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Rev. W. F. Bond, pastor of the Longswamp Lutheran church, where he was baptized, will officiate. Interment will be made in the Longswamp cemetery.
