Obituary
Gust Oberg.

Lobar pneumonia and exhaustion
resulting from a fracture of the
right hip were ascribed by a cor
oner's jury as the cause of the
death of Gust Oberg at a hospital
last night. The inquest was held
this morning at the Dorm funeral
home, East Moline.
Oberg, who was blind and feeble,
fell down in the corridor at the hos
pital about a month ago. His hip
was fractured and he had been bed
fast up to the time of his death.
Lobar pneumonia is said to have
developed because of his being re-
quired to lie in the same position
due to the injury. Oberg was born
in Sweden 70 years ago. He had
been patient at the hospital for
number of years.
