Oakfield Man Views Remains of Unknown Killed at Churchville The remains of the man supposed to be Charles BERG, who was so badly mangled by trains on the New York Central at Churchville on Friday night, are still at the undertaker's rooms in Rochester and have not been identified. William BERG of Oakfield visited the rooms yesterday morning, but failed to identify the remains as those of his brother. He says he could identify his brother by a tattoo mark on the right arm between the wrist and elbow, but this man's arm being cut off at that place destroyed any such evidence, if it ever existed. Mr. BERG says his brother was about this man's age and size and has been a bridge builder in Pennsylvania and a member of the Iron Workers' Union. Mr. BERG has wired the company his brother worked for, but as yet has received no reply. His brother is a married man, but has not lived with his wife for some time. *************************** Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department
