]. E. Pumwalt hands the Register
the following tribute to Irwin l.. Sears
of Oskaloosa who recently lost his life
in France: Irwin L. Sears of Os-
kaloosa, was known to many people in
Grinnell. He delivered products month
ly here for the Home Coffee Co., of Os-
kaloosa, prior to his enlistment in the
l6Sth division of infantry last year.
He was a fine man, in fact, in him
were all the good traits that embodied
together, make up natures gentleman.
His division, as we all know has done
a great amount of fighting in the sue
cessful drives of the last few weeks.
: am sure many Grinnell people will

his debt of honor to his country, at
the sacrifice of his life. He was a
splendid boy in life and a hero in
death. Although we never meet again,
although to us his ears are deaf, we
know that he has passed on through
pain to the glory of a hero's DEATH
