ADELBERT GELDART

  ALBERT, N. B. May 17 – This village and surrounding districts were shocked when a telegram from Toronto conveyed the news of the death of Adelbert Geldart in hospital in that city following a three months illness. The young man 29 years of age was the son of Frank Geldart, of this village, and the late Mrs. Geldart. While employed with the Canadian General Electric Co., of Toronto, about three months ago, he received burns, which eventually caused his death.

   A brilliant scholar, he received his early education at the Riverside Consolidated school from which he graduated in 1926, later taking a course in electrical engineering at the University of New Brunswick. He graduated in 1930.

   Besides his father, he is survived by one brother, Melvin, Riverside, Albert County: his stepmother, two half-brothers, Charles and Karl, and one half-sister, Muricl, of Albert. The body will be brought here for burial.
