one hundred and third year.
Though "Granddad" Gill, asshe
is called by every child who
knows him, attended school but
three days in all the century and
two years he has lived, he can tell
the best camp stories the boys of
this country ever heard, and he
used to make Memorial day
speeches that brought tears to the
eyes of his fellow veterans.
For 33 years he has lived ON a
farm in Marion county, and since
the first Memorial day has never
failed to march In the ranks of
the soldier boys upon that day.
He has looked forward toward to-
day with the certain knowledge
that few more Memorial days will
be allowed him.
Gill was born In Virginia,
April Is. 1903, and was Just tod

to fight in the war of 1912. 1t
was the remembrance OF his ia

Fred Kellner, Alma's father,

body as that of his daughter.
Frank Fehr, the girls uncle, who

There is not the slightest

the particulars of the preparation
