PRIVATE ROLLIE Y.
DUTY BURIED MONDAY
Funeral Of Mexico Boy Who Died a,
Camp Funston Was Held From
the Baptist Church
WITH FULL MILITARY HoNoRs
Missouri Military Academy Cadets
and Mcmillan High School Ca
diets Were Escort Of Honor.

Flags in the city were all at half
mast Saturday morning.
Private ROllie v. Duty had "gone
west"
The mailed fist Of war has again
brought It's sorrow into this eOmmu-
nifty through the death Of one Of
Mexieo's young men in the service Of
his country, who died Friday after.
noon at Camp Funston, Kansas, af-
ter a two months illness from pneu-
monia. Private Duty is the second
Audrain county boy to die in service
since these United States entered the
war against Germany. The first was
Private. James Bledsoe.
Son of John Duty
Private Rollie Duty was % years
old and born in this city. He was q
son of John Duty, of this
city, and a member of Co. A, 354tf
Inf. He has been i'll with pneumonis
and complications for the past two
months. Several times his condition
was considered critical and his father
called to his bedside. His fight agains
death was heroic, but he finally sue
cumbed. He died Friday Afternoon
at 3 o'clock.
A Brother in Service
Mr.. Duty has but two chill
dren, two sons, and both in thei
country's service. Both were in tn,
first call Of the selective army. Tn,
surviving brother, Roy, is stationed il
Kentucky in service and is expecteI
home for the funeral.
"V" Duty, as he was familiarl
known among his friends, was
brakeman in the emplay Of the Chi
cago e. Alton railroad, when he wa
called to service. He was a youn
man who had many friends here an
capable and.efficient workman.
The news Of his death has saddene
the entire community who join tn
Ledger in extending deepest symps
thy to his bereaved parent an
brother. He died in the service Of hi
country and for the highest principle
Of Christianity and democracy.
Had $4,000 Insurance
II is understood that sometime ag
Private Duty took out $1,000 in arm
insurance.
The sharp stacatta Of the firm
squad with its clear toned requiem
"Taps," as the earth slowly cloake
the flag-draped bier Of Private Roll
; V. Duty, brought the grim spectar
war into the hearts and homes Of tn
city from that shell-ridden land owe
seas Monday afternoon at ElmwoC
Cemetery. There wasn't dry eye
the crowd that gathered about Il
grave to pay parting tribute to OF
of our youths who had given his Ii
for his country and its Christian i'd
d ais The silence that followed Il
n diving notes Of the bugles seemed
I be fraught with the realization tn
j there would be many others Of Of
r boys who would die for the same 81
v rious cause to whom this tribu
$ could not be given, for their burr
t would be in that sanguinary street
y Of territory, following the line Of t
t Western front "over there"
$ All of Private Duty's friends W
g could possibly come were in atten
v ance and there were many who did n
s know him, yet desired to offer th'
e homage to his memory because he W
IS soldier, brave and true, who h
It died while faithfully performing
