West Pittston Baptisms Amid Floodwaters and Trenton Jobs

Baptismal services were held in West Pittston as floodwaters rose after a storm along the Susquehanna. Seven persons were carried away by the stream near the McCauley estate while a small pipe stood at the bank. Two men from West Pittston, Louis Bevan and Herbert Bray, left for Trenton to accept new positions at Avon Machine Co and Turbine Factory. Bevan’s funeral yesterday for Lieut. William Gee, a long-time pattern maker, was held at his home with burial in West Pittston Cemetery. Veterans and Battery M remnants attended, bearing a casket draped with the Battery’s battle flag.
