Youth Cited for Bravery in Saving Grandmother's Life in Fire
Strunk was 18 years of age and a senior at the John Muir Technical
High School. He was a member of the Pasadena lodge of Antlers and a member of
Troop No. 3, Boy Scouts of the Central Christian Church. His knowledge of
first aid and his obligations imparted by Boy Scout training stood him in
good stead two years ago when his grandmother's clothing was ignited by a
gas stove. Risking his own life, he tor off the flaming garments and
applied first-aid measures which physicians stated saved the aged
woman from a painful death.
Mr. and Mrs. Birney L. Strunk, the parents, declared
today that he appeared to be in perfect health until he collapsed
and became unconscious Friday night. Strunk's death is said to be the
fourth to result from the same malignant disease here within the last month.
