HERBERT BRUCH FOUND DEAD IN CAB OF TRUCK
Herbert R. Bruch, 43, of North Fifteenth street, Lewisburg, was found dead in a truck in front of a home at 2219 West Fourth street, Williamsport, at 9:50 o'clock Wednesday morning. Dr. L. M. Knauber, Lycoming county coroner, who was summoned to the scene, informed police that Bruch's death was due to a heart attack.
Herman Hensler, Williamsport, R. D. 2 mail carrier, and Mary Williamson, of Williamsport, saw a truck travel along Fourth street, apparently without anyone at the wheel. They then saw it hit the curbing at the side of the street and come to a stop. Patrolmen Fred J. Seitler and John Lomison investigated when called by the couple.
Mr. Bruch was born in Lewisburg, R. D. 2, the son of the late David R. and Emma J. Koble Bruch. During most of his life he resided in Lewisburg, and in recent years he had been engaged in hauling coal from the mines into New York state, returning with produce. His father, who died several years ago, was well known as a lime-burner and Union county farmer. The deceased was a member of the Selinsgrove Lodge of Moose.
Surviving are his wife, living in Philadelphia, one son, James D. Bruch, of Camp Davis, N. C.; three sisters, Miss Florence Bruch, of Milton; Mrs. Charles Leiser, of East Akron, Ohio, and Mrs. Carrie Gessinger, of Philadelphia, and one brother, Ferdinand Bruch, also of Philadelphia.
The body was released to a Williamsport undertaker and is now in charge of Dale E. Ranck, Milton mortician. Funeral arrangements are pending the arrival of the deceased's wife and others from Philadelphia late today.
