Ralph Leondus Martin was born in
Morriston, Tenn, March 20, 1898,
died October 20, 1918, aged 25 years,
7 months and days. He died from
pneumonia, the disease following the
influenza. He was sick only nine days
and the three sisters and brother who
were with him thought he was getting
better until the last few hours before
he died. A wire was sent to the
father and mother who are now in
Tennessee, but they were unable to
get here in time to see him. He was
laid to rest in the Liberal cemetery
Saturday, November End, Rev. NJ. o.
Wolfe, pastor of the Baptist church,
having charge of the funeral services
which were held at the grave.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
father, mother, two brothers, Ernest
and Vernon, six sisters, Mrs. Katie
Coldfelter, Mrs. Mary Clifford, Mrs.
Eliza Nix, Mrs. Effie Scott, Lucy and
Alverta Martin, besides other rela-
tives and host of friends.
Ralph was friend to everyone and
was respected and loved wherever he
went. In the home he was always
patient and kind, always ready to do
more than his part of home duties
with never a word of complaint. He
was especially thoughtful of his
mother whom he loved very dearly.
With his parents he came to Sum-
ner county, Kansas when he was ten
years old and spent most of his school
days near Belle Plain. Two years
ago the family moved to Seward
county and made their home on
farm ten miles northwest of Liberal
where they still lived when Ralph re-
ceived his call to come home. Five
years ago while at Whitman, Kansas,
he confessed Christ in khe Methodist
church at that place. Since coming
to Seward county he has been faith
full attendant at the Sunday school
and church services at Bethel church.
He will be sorely missed by the young
people of this community.
He was in Class &c of the draft
and was ready to go as soon as his
country called him from his services
on the farm.

for him. He leaves to mourn his de-
parture his father, mother and one
sister and many friends. One sister
had preceded him to the other shore.
Some time ago he made a profess
sion of religion and united with the
church and it was in this faith that
he passed away.
The funeral was held at the family
residence Monday afternoon at four
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Thos.
F. Barrier. Only few of the init
mate friends of the family were in
attendance. The body was laid to
rest in the Liberal cemetery.
Rest weary soul. Forever with thy
God and Saviour blest.

One hundred and fifty small, dark

lunch at the Hoxsey Hotel.
They came from Manila and the

The Americana was c. A. Jacobs,
chief machinist's mate. He said that
he had had no trouble with the men;
they were all fine fellows. The bunch
left Manila July 26 and was 33 days
on the water. They landed out of San
Francisco on Goat Island.
The young fellows like the United
States fine and are ardent in their
praise of the good things to eat, the
smokes and treats that the Red Cross
women have given them along their
journey across the continent.
The boys were all young, ranging
from II to 10 years. They were stu
dents in the intermediate schools and
high schools. One unusually bright
fellow was a graduate of the Manils
high school.
