Edwin lie Roy Cummings

Edwin LIE Roy Cummings was born
in Baraboo, February 6, 1900; was
killed in action in France, October 20,
1919 The news came as sad blow
to his mother as another son had been
wounded in August, was a long time
in the hospital, was sent back to the
front again and "a hours before the
armistice was signed was wounded
again.
Eddie attended the public school here
and also st. Joseph's parOchial school.
He was bright happy boy. His kindly
smile and friendly greeting made
friends of mere acquaintances. He
joined company A of Reedsburg where
his brother had enlisted some time be-
fore. He went in training in Camp
Douglas and then at Waco, Texas; was
there until last March when he went
over seas and was in active service
until the time of his death.
Eddie was nine years old when his
father died. The affection the father
had for this little son and the many
happy hours they spent together will
ever be pleasant remembrance, now
they are united. But sorrow and grief

loving helpfulness and joyous young
lives they brought much comfort and
happiness, only memory is left. Mem
orial services for him were held at
st. Joseph church, December 9, many
friends Of the family attending. The

the service flag has turned to gold.
Besides his mother he leaves one
sister, Laurene, two brothers, Ivan at
home and Rex in France. He also
