DEATH OF LLOYD HORTON
Little we thought last December
when in the flush of young manhood
Lloyd L. Horton answered the call to
arms that his star, OF blue would De
be the first to. turn to gold. God in
his infinite wisdom has called him
from the service of his country in
the army to higher service in the
life beyond. He has been promoted
from the training camp here below
where he served his country so faith
fully and diligently and has entered
the presence of the great Commander
of the Army of Heaven. OF all the
young men who have enlisted from
this community Lloyd Horton is the
first one called upon to give his life.
Although he had not been permitted
to go to the front as he had hoped
to in the near future, yet his life was
as truly consecrated to the cause OF
liberty as those who have fallen on
he battlefields of Flanders.
He had made his supreme sacrifice
when he volunteered his service. Ser
