WAUSEON'S FIRST
Mckinley Robinson Dies From
Wounds Received in Action at
Hospital in Paris - Had Been in
France Year-Last Word to His
Mother, Not to Worry About Him.

The hand of war has reached from
across the sea and laid a burden upon
hearts in Wauseon. Wednesday
morning, Mrs. John Reed received a
message from Washington, announc-
ing the death of her son, Mckinley
Robinson, in hospital in Paris, as
the result of wounds received in the
performance Of duty.
: Mrs. Reed received a letter from
Mckinley last Saturday which was
written for him by private who sent
an explanatory note with the letter,
expressing the thought that McKin-
ley would recover. Howard Furney,
whose letter to his mother appears III
another column, expressed the same
information that had come to him
| through one Of the ambulance COM
pany's men who had learned about
| McKinley's condition at the dressing
station to which he was first taken.
| The message bringing tidings of
the death of her son came as a shock
to Mrs. Reed and she has the sincere
sympathy of every loyal American in
this village, and with the sympathy
there goes from every loyal heart a
message of congratulation to her as
the mother of a son who has left a
name that the whole town will hold
henceforth in high honor.
Mckinley Robinson enlisted in To-
ledo May 16, 1917, in the Ambulance
corps, and went with his company 10
France in August, 1917. He would
have been 20 years of age had he
lived to September 6.
Other Wauseon boys who enlisted
and were sent to France at the same
time as Mckinley and are now in the
Ambulance service in France, are
Howard Furney, Howard Garrett, and
Orson Beebe.
These boys are non-combatants
their duty is to take the wounded
men back from the battlefelds to the
dressing stations and on to the field
hospitals; but the Germans make nc
DISTINCTION they pour their hate onto
wounded men, non-combatants, hospi-
; tails, and the helpless and unprotected
as well as upon those who are imped.
ing their progress by actual armed
force.
Following are the letters received
by Mrs. Reed last Saturday:
Paris, July 70, 1918.
} Mrs. Jennie Reede,
525 North Fulton street,
i. Wauseon, Ohio.

Somewhere in France,

My Dear Mother and All:
/ received your letter several days
ago, but have been so busy / haven't
had time to write. / am well and
hope you are the same. Orson is well;
also Howard Garrett. / am sorry to
say that Mckinley went to the hos
pitat, wounded, few days ago, but
ne was not seriously wounded: tell
his mother not to worry about him,
as he will get the best of care. | did
not get to see him, but one of or
men in the dressing station saw him
and he told this fellow to tell me to
write home about him. The fellow
said that he had part of the fleshy
part Of his hips shot away, and flesh
wound in the chest; but that he would
get we'll | don't know what hospital
ne went to, but think he will let
me know.
For about a week | was working
day and night; | was on the go for
az hours without any sleep. The dri-
yer and myself we're so sleepy we
couldn't hold our eyes open. Farmer
(that is my driver) went to sleep
several times while running the am
bulance, and | would have to awaken
him to keep the car in the road. We
have to drive without lights, because
when you are up. to the front it would
light the roads up so that if there
were any troops on them the Ger
mans would shell it. We have had
several men slightly wounded and a
couple of ambulances blown up by
shells.
| have found out what company L.
G.. Andrews is in, but haven't had a
chance to see him. The last letter
got from you | was at the front in q
big cave, where was told by q
doughboy. they captured 600 Ger
mans. II sure was some cave. There
were all kinds of souvenirs in it; if
had anv way to carry them. l got
a few buttons off a German officers
coat and some German money. The
ambulance | am on, while going after
patients one day, was hit by severa
pieces Of shell. have a piece of the
shell that welt through it. The am

it / wasn't on it when it was struck
A piece went through the back of thu

happened, the fellows just got of
because they had to stop on accoun

In loving memory of our dear
mother and grandmother, Mrs. Ma

year ago today, August II, 1917.
Beneath our eyes she faded slowly,
Growing day by day more frail,
Bearing sweetly all her sufferings
Without murmur, moan or wall.

And lead US on Thy heavenly way;
That we may meet our loved one
there,
In realms of everlasting day.
