pital of Pneumonia

When telegram from the depart
ment at Washington reached Langdon
during the forenoon of Sunday grim
visaged war darkened another happy
home circle.
The message with the usual hrevity
of such official notifications stated
barely the fact that on September 23
Finlay Ramage, the third son cf Mr..
and Mrs. John F. Ramage had died,
following ehort illness of pneu-
monia in hospital in France.
Three weeks had elapsed from the
taking place of this tragic event and
the arrival of the news that Finlay
Ramage had been mustered out from
the service of his country by Deaths
final summons land as letters dated as
recently as September 1st had stated
that he was in usual health it came
as shock which in addition to bring.
ing great sorrow into the home of
the family also tended to sadden the
hearts of the entire community.
Finlay Ramage was born in Lang
don and on his twentieth birthday
was in camp in Florida. He was one
of the 1913 class of graduates of the
Langdon high school and led his fel.
low classmates in the events on the
athletic field. In addition to this he
was conscientious student and had
shown himself to be deeply interest
ed in his work. The home training
of christian parents bad been shown
by the tone of letters that had been
written home to his mother since he
had gone overseas TO France. AS
nearly as it is possible to learn it was
August 10Th or Goth when he went
aboard transport for the trip across
| the Atlantic through the war zone of
the submarines to France. Finlay
was under the draft age at the time
he offered himself for service and
first went to Fargo. there to be as
signed to motor and mechanical en-.
gins eering. In short time he was

branch several units were assem-
bled for service abroad His oldest

T. Thus istadded another golden star
to our service flag and the going out

his name is now written among those
of the heroes of the war. Z To the
