FORMER COUNTY ENGINEER DIES OF PNEUMONIA ATTACK
Captain Charles A. Lindbery, of the 601st regiment of engineers, stationed at Camp Lee, Va., died yesterday of pneumonia, according to a telegram received from his widow today by her mother, Mrs. S. Larson, 1123 Twenty-first street. Mrs. Lindbery is now en route to Bellingham with the body. Lindbery had a short time before suffered a broken arm while attempting to save the life of a comrade, it is said, and contracted pneumonia while in the hospital. Captain Lindbery, who was serving as county engineer when he enlisted, left Bellingham early in January for Camp Laurel and his office here has since been filled by J. C. Hills, of Blaine. He had been elected to that office in 1916 and he held the same position four years previously, beginning in 1910. He also served as city engineer in Bellingham in 1914 and 1915. He had had previous military experience, at one time being captain of company M, Second Washington infantry. He was a graduate of the engineering course of the Washington State university, which he entered after graduating from the Whatcom high school in 1896.

A card received by Captain Lindbery's father, dated May 22, state that he had been transferred to Camp Lee from Camp Laurel to serve as instructor on account of his broken arm. He was 38 or 39 years of age and is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lottie Lindbery, whom he married two years ago, his father, A. Lindbery, of Bellingham; two sisters, Mrs. S. Keihl, of Seattle, and Miss Jennie Lindbery, who is in the government service at Bremerton, and by one brother, Alexander Lindbery, now at San Luis Obispo, Cal. No arrangements for the funeral have been made.
