HARRY S. WYATT DEAD
Another Bates County Boy Gives Up
His Life for His Country.

The death of Harry Steele Wyatt,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. P. Wyatt, of
this city, which occurred at Rantoul,
Illinois, Friday night at 900 O'Clock,
is another grim reminder that the ma
tior1-iis at war; and that the God of
war exacts the most supreme sacri-
fees
Several months ago he was engaged
in the lumber business in this city,
but he heard the call to duty and dis
posed of his business and enlisted in
the aviation corps of the army, think
ing that he could best serve his coun-
try in that branch of the service. At
ter passing his examination, which is
the most exacting of any of the diff
ferent branches of the army, he was
sent to Champaign, Illinois, to
training school. After few months
he was transferred from there to Ran
tout, Illinois, where he was to finish
his training. Some days ago he was
attacked with the influenza, which is
prevalent in most of the army camps,
and in a few days pneumonia fol-
lowed, which was the cause of his
death. IT. ..
About month ago he secured a
short furlough, which he spent with
his parents in this city. He was all
enthusiasm for his work and he was
such a splendid specimen OF strong,
vital young manhood that it is almost
impossible to realize that after few
days of sickness he is no more.
While he would have chosen to meet
death amid the crash of arms on the
field of battle or high in the air while
engaged in combat with the enemy,
rather than in the ward of a hospital
far from the battle front, he met it
bravely and his name will be EN-
graved on the tablets of fame along
with those who fell on the field while
fighting for the cause of humanity.
Harry S. Wyatt was born in this
city September "a, 1892, and has
spent practically his whole life here.
he received his education in the pub
lie schools of Butler and soon after
his graduation in the class of 1911 his
father turned over the Wyatt lumber
yard, one of the Oldest established
mercantile establishments in the city,
to him. His conduct OF the business,
u" to the time he disposed of it to
enter the army, indicated that he had
a bright future in the business world.
AS mark of respect the flag in the
court house yard was at half mast
Saturday and remained there until af.
ter the funeral and the business
houses of the city remained closed
during the funeral which was con-

B Io4th United States Infantry, spoke

the interest of the Fourth Liberty
Loan. Private Goodnight's home is
at Oakland, California, but he saw
active service in France with Mass
achusetts regiment, and in operation
in the Cambria sector last June he
was wounded and gassed. AS soon
as he was able to stand the trip he
was sent to this country and placed
in . hospital at Washington, D. C.,
from where he was sent along with
others to make speeches for the Lib
erty Loan drive. He says that he
soon recovered from the effects of the
wound but his heart and lungs are
still in had condition Is the result Of
the gas. When asked IL the soldiers
in France wanted peace msde 60
they could come home, he stated that
while they were all anxious to get
home, they wanted to stay there until
the Huns had been thoroughly
whipped and that he hoped that be
wodld soon be well enough to GO
