         Hartford Car Worker
           Taken Ill and Dies
           
         Hartford, Dec. 4 - GLENN DISBROW, 41, died
       at 5:20 Tuesday afternoon, a few hours after
       inhaling fumes from an auto radiator which
       was being flushed with a cleansing solution.
       Death occurred at his home on South and Mary
       streets. 
         Death came when DISBROW felt a sudden severe
       heart pain and rose from his couch. As he did
       so he toppled to the floor dead. His case
       proved puzzling to physicians.
         DISBROW responded when a customer drove in
       to the Donald Rush auto repair garage where
       the former worked, early Tuesday afternoon
       and asked to have the radiator of his car
       drained and filled with an anti-freeze solu-
       tion.
         The radiator was drained and a compound 
       for cleaning put in. The motor was started
       and DISBROW leaned over the radiator to keep
       track of the boiling and cleaning process in-
       side. As he did so he inhaled fumes from which
       he became violently sick.
         Shortly afterwards he went home.
         
         Widow in California
         DISBROW was born July 1, 1899 in Bangor.
       His wife, MARION, is at the present time in
       California. There were no children. DISBROW
       lived with his parents, HAYES and BERT DISBROW.
       One brother, ROGER DISBROW, is in navy training
       at Indianapolis.
         Funeral services will be held Friday at
       2 o'clock at the Zuver & Calvin funeral home.
       Rev. N. R. Athy, pastor of the Federated church,
       will officiate. Burial will be in Maple Hill
       cemetery.
