Bernard Klein, who operated a cigar store here bearing his name for several years, died in New Castle, Friday, apparently from a heart attack. He was 60 years old.
His business was near Ninth and Main streets. He sold it in 1952 to Matt R. Mercurio.
A well known New Castle resident, he had managed Sipe's Cigar store there for 32 years before coming to Richmond. He returned to New Castle after the sale there.
Known as Mike Klein, he was a native of Madison who moved to New Castle 45 years ago. He was a World War I veteran and had served two years in the navy.
Survivors include his wife, Dorothy; and two sisters, Frances Klein and Mrs. Glenn Williams.
