Mrs. Roy c. Bennett is visiting her
husband for short while in South
Port
Last week death visited our Post
for the first time in two years and
claimed as it's victim Private Edward
Leash, of York, Pa. He with several
other recruits, was transferred to our
Post about ten days previous to his
death and though none of us knew
him personally, owing to very strin-
gent order which provides for the
quarantine of all new recruits for
period of 10 to IA days, his death cast
pail of sorrow over the entire post.
Full military funeral services were
held and attended by every enlisted
man and officer who could be spared
fl ON duty. The funeral procession
was led by the Post band from the
hospital to the dock, where the re-
mains were placed on the Steamer.
