PRIVATE CARL H. BARTH was
born on January 15, 1923 to Charles Henry Barth and the former Mable E.
Wintrode. It appears that illness took Charles Barth in the 1930s, as
the family was scattered in the 1930 Census and the 1940 Census shoes
him to be deceased. The 1940 Census shows Carl H. Barth living with his
widowed mother Mable, brother Joseph N. and sisters Thelma and Charlotte
at 215 Linden Street in Camden, New Jersey. Carl H. Barth was then
working for the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Carl H. Barth enlisted in the Army on January 15,
1941. He trained at Fort Slocum NY until March of that year, and was
then sent to Hawaii, where he served until December of 1942, when he was
sent to Guadalcanal. He was killed in action while serving in the
United States Army in the South Pacific on August 9, 1943.
Carl Barth was survived by
his mother, Mrs. Mable E. Barth, of 215 Linden Street in Camden NJ. His body was
returned home aboard the USAT
George W.G. Boyce in 1948, and he was
buried at Beverly National Cemetery in Beverly NJ on June 24th of that
year. |
