llSlINt.oo AND ING
MOMENTS OF CLAUDt WYNN.
1t will be remembered that Claud
Wynn, of Norfolk. was one o. the vol
unteers who enlisted here whe ..ecruit-
Ing was in progress for the Forty-first
infantry, u. S. ", for services in the
Philippines. Claud went away to the
model soldier. He was finally stricken
with illness and died on August 8 at
Angeles, p. l. -
The following details relating to his
records as a soldier and his last mo-
his many friends in this vicinity:
Guagua, Z. L., Oct. 2, 1900.
Mrs. Alice Spurrier, Norfolk, Va:
My Dear Mrs. Spurrier-Your letter
of August II, 1900. at hand. l wrote
Danville, Va, on the death OF Pat
Wynne. This was the address of near
est relative that he gave when he en-
listed in the army SO. of course, you
have not received any letter.
Your son had long spell of sickness
petore he died. He stood the climate
ana hardships of Il soldiers life in the
philippines very well, until March 10.
i9oo, when he was taken sick in quar-
terS ana remained sick in company
quarters and at the post hospital until
June IL, 1900, when l asked the surgeon
10 send him away to some other hos
pital. where better facilities were at
hand to give him the treatment that
was needed in his case. So in June
10. 1900. the post surgeon had him sent
70 the regimental hospital at Angeles,
+. l. He did not want to go and told
me he would get well all right In our
post. But l knew he could get better
treatment In Angeles, so advised him
10 go. After going there for some
time he seemed TO improve, but finally
TOOK turn for the worse and died the
morning of the Sd day of August, 1900
His disease was acute dysentery.
Claud had n great deal of grit and
would not give up to the last. Whether
he had anything to say on his death
bed. l cannot say, as he died away
from the post where my company was
stationed, and l never heard. He was
given a military funeral in Angeles.
and the remains were shipped to Ma
Mia, and buried in the National Gene
terry ut that place. in grave No. 663.
The remains will. undoubtedly, be
shipped home next winter to Danville.
Va, or any place else that. you may
request from the War Department.
His personal effects 1 had boxed in
and shipped to the address. Mrs. A. Is.
Wynne. Danville. Va.-the address that
he gave when he enlisted. His final
statements and inventories OF effects
were forwarded to the adjutant gem
eral of the army Immediately upon his
death. shall forward your letter to
the surgeon Of the regimental hos
pital. and perhaps he may be able to
tell you something more of his last
