Mrs. Trumbull heard Sum- day that her husbands body had been identified, Dr. H. A. Harper of Nottingham, an uncle of the young man, having viewed his remains in one of the temporary morgues. MT. Trumbulls parents have a plot I in West cemetery and, as Plainville was the. young mans home for many years, it is expected that the remains l will be inferred in this town. The l body will be sent back to America as 1 soon as sspossible.

 His parents and brothers in Plain vile are anxiously awaiting further E information concerning the manner f in which he met his fate.
