Nearly all the children came out
TO the park about 2:30 O'Clock in the

games during the afternoon, such as
relays, pom pom pullaway, whirligig
and centipede relays near the band

on the grounds.
Those in charge hadn't made it

Terrence Black Writes LaconicalIy
and Couraseously the News
That He Has Lost B. 9th
Legs.
WOUNDED LAST MONTH
In the Big Drive in Which His Resi-
ment Performed SO Well with
the Rainbow Di-
vision.

Terrence Black, one of the boys
who left here with Company L and
later was drawn with others from
that company to form the Rainbow
division, lies in an army hospital in
France, terribly wounded and
crippled for life, having lost both
legs.
Before he joined Company l., Pri-
vate Black went to st. Louis, Mo-, to
see If he could get in the aviation
corps, but failed.
Then he came to Keokuk and be-
came a member of Company L just
after the men returned from the bor-
der. April %, 1917, he went into train
ing with the rest of the company at
Camp Dodge. While there he was
chosen with other Keokuk men to
form the 16Sth infantry.
A Brave Hero Writes.
Many people in Keokuk were &C
quainted with him. He was born and
reared in Keosauqua and his father,
William Black, was the one who has
just received this letter from the
stricken man:
July IS. 1918.
Dear Old Dad:
Have had a little hard luck. Was
wounded the morning of the 18th,
and owing to delay at field hospital,
tetanus set in and I've lost both legs.
So if things don't get any worse I'll
be home some day. Write and tell
Minnie for me. I've done my bit,
Dad. and am ready to come home. so
prepare the fatted calf for what is
left of your loving son,
TERRY B. B.
This message, SO laconic and full
of willing self-sacrifice, is said to be
chara cteristic of this soldier. AS yet
no information has come regarding
the nature of the wounds which made
amputation necessary, or as to how
much of his legs he has lost.
