He then entered the Arkansas University at Fayetteville, spent two years in the University, and had entered for his third year. He was inducted into the l.. s. army service and placed in the quartermaster department He had entered into his third years work at the University but for a short time when he became sick with influenza. from that he contracted pneumonia. and in few days in spite of all that loving hands of parents and friends NNN'''' NO iS H'tSoIN away pIl oCt - 1918. His short life of 19 years, 10 months and 20 days was we'll num- bered
 Roscoe was pronounced by all who knew him, a splendid young man. He was especially good and obedient to his parents as we'll as to every one else. It is said that he never gave his parents any trouble. They always knew to trust him. He possessed a brilliant mind. His intellect was as well developed as many are at a much riper age. To know him was to love him, To cherish his memory is a privilege to parents and friends.
