OUR FIRST MARTYR
John Shoefelt, of Yale, Sacrifices His Life
to the Cause of Democracy

to the Cause OF Democracy
For weeks past our people have been
watching the casualty lists in the daily
papers, expecting yet dreading to see
the names of some of "our" boys who
had gone overseas to help the Allies
win a world wide, lasting peace. The
neighboring towns have been represent
ed in the honor roll but Yale was-not on
the list. But the spell was broken on
Friday last when word came from the
department at Washington which will
change the blue star on the little ser.
vice flag In the Shoefeit home to one
of gold.
The telegram which conveyed the
news to the mother of our first boy to
lose his life on the fighting front reads
as follows:-
Washington, Aug. %, 1918
Mrs. Evelyn Shoefelt,
Yale, Mich.
Deeply regret to inform you that it
is officially reported that Private John
Shoefelt, engineers, died July 18th,
from wounds received in action.
Harris, Acting Adj. Gen'
Thus the first Yale boy has fallen,
and our little city is brought face to
face with the frightfulness of this war.
But we look forward to the time when
those who are left return to us after a
world of freedom is assured, and will
always cherish in our hearts the men,
ory of those who sacrifice their lives TO
the cause of humanity
John Shoefelt was bonn in Sanilac
county % years ago, and spent his life
there until about four years ago, when
he came with his mother to Yale. He
worked most of the time in the Yale
Wooden Mills until he was called into
service Nov. 10, 1917, and assigned to
Camp Custer where he stayed about q
month, being transferred to Camp in
the East, going overseas last April. He
was member of Co. f., ll6 Engineers.
He made many friends during his
brief residence in Yale, all of whom
speak highly of his character.
Besides the aged mother John leaves
two brothers who reside in Yale.
The sympathy of every citizen in
Yale is extended to the family In their
hour of sadness.

SHERIFF WINDSOR
Receives Big Vote in Yale and Surround
ing Townships and Wins the Nomina-
ton on the Republican Ticket by
Majority OF 1921 In the County

vi 1901 OOuhty
Tuesdays primary election passed off
very quietly in Yale and the same quiet
ness existed throughout st. Clair coun-
ty. The vote in this county and like
wise all over the state was rather light
due, no doubt, in the rural districts to
the fact that the farmers were busy
threshing and at other work OH the
farm.
Newberry receives the nomination
for United States Senator, polling more
votes than all the other candidates
combined Ford takes second position
and Osborne is weak third.
In the Congressional race "Lewiep
Cramton wins out over Scranton by
nearly 5000.
John w. Smith wins over his two
opponents in the fight for representa-
tive by handsome margin.
Steve Windsor gets the nomination
for sheriff by 1921 majority, and Alex
Cowan has about 500 majority over
w. o. Lee for county treasurer.
The vote in the city for nominations
where there were contests stood as
follows
u. S. Senator-Newberry, "a; Os-
born, AZ; Ford, 40; Simpson, g.
Congressman-C Cramton, 81; Scran
ton, 73.
Representative-Smith, 81; Carlisle,
46; Gordon, 81.
Sheriff Windsor, 16l; Brown, 81.
Treasurer-Cowan, rs; Lee, ~
Whenever Yale has q candidate for
county office, as in the case of Sheriff
Windsor, all the voters turn out and
help nominate and elect him. The
splendid vote given Mr.. Windsor shows
that he is held in high esteem IN his
own home town and the utmost conf
dence is placed in him by all the peo-
pie as public official.
