Death Of Tom Bremen.

The many friends of Mrs. L. Bremen, of Samarai, Papua, learned with deep regret of the sudden and untimely death of her son, Tom, who died at the War Memorial Hospital in Katoomba, N.S.W., on June 11.

Mrs. Bremen and her two sons, Tom and Ernest, came down to Australia for a holiday early in 1932. In May, it was found necessary to place Tom in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, in order that he might undergo an opera tion to his tonsils. The operation appeared to be successful and, after ten days, he was allowed to leave and go to Ka toomba with his mother and brother.

The following day he complained of illness and, a fortnight later, he died from septic pneumonia.

Mrs. Bremen and her younger son returned to Samarai at the end of July.

Tom was a lad of bright and attractive disposition and very popular in Samarai.
