son, Jeff Vanhoose, Jr., who wslsfstruck
by train and killed last week not far
from his home in the lower end OF Cat
lettsburg The fourth son~referred TO
by Mr.. vanhoose is Garfield Xanhoose,
well known in both Ashland and Cat
lettsburg as a soldier. Garfield Van
hoose was soldier in the Spanish
American war and he seemed to enjoy
the experience very much. After the
war he Joined the reguar army and
served there for some eight or ten
years. When the war broke out in
Europe, Mr.. Vanhoose went to Canada,
volunteered in a Canadian regiment
and shortly after this was transported
to the firing line in Europe. He paru-
cpated in the battle OF the Marne,. and
wrote his father number of. letters
while in the trenches. During the close
of this noted battle he was separated
from his tent mate and has not been
heard from since. Mr.. Vanhoose recelv-
! ed several letters from Garielu Wniie
he was in the trenches, but has notSre-
ceived line from him since the close
of the battle of the Marae. However,
he received a letter. ON his tent
mate saying that k/rfeared Garfield
Vanhoose was dead, as it had been sim-
possible for him 10 learn anything OF
his whereabouts,
MIR. Vanhoose said that his son in
formed him that there was large
number of Americans in the Canadian
regiment to which he belonged and
that they had all joined through love
OF adventure and in order to get some

from the large number OF fatalities in
