THREE GOLDEN WE'D
DINGS in A MONTH

Well are we reminded that a half
century has rolled around since the
dreadful struggle which threatened to
rend our country in twain. and yet
many of our boys came back to live
happily for half century to tell the
tale OF battle and of victory.
The G. A. r. and w. R. C. recently
celebrated the golden wedding ami
versary of Mr.. and Mrs. James F.
Handy of Bowen's Addition, remem-
bering them with golden souvenir
and congratulating them on their health
and happiness. Again on Saturday
the Dist double golden wedding was
celebrated. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank l..
Smith were presented with a golden
souvenir and Mrs. Geo. Bowen, simi.
lar souvenir together with the good
wishes of both Post and Corps. Table
decorations in yellow, hordes OF good
things to eat, sunshine, and thanks.
giving were the order Of the day and
all fellow lodgemen and guests left feel
ing that in the remembrance of these
soldier lives and the epoch following
after all dark days are worth while.

danger from the Germans who were
only few hundred yards from us. On
June 9Th l believe it happened that
several artillery shells fell among the
men of my platoon and Henry among
others were struck. This is certain he
did not suffer any pain, probably did
not know what struck him for when l
reached his side he had passed away.
Having been on the front for. some
days and we do not carry much with us
there besides our equipment Henry
had no articles of value with him ex-
cept a few pennies and they have been
sent to the Effects Depot A. E. F. In
our movings about over here the small
belongings that one would have kept
when in the States are lost or thrown
away so in this Company we have
nothing which we could send you of
his. We necessarily reduce our equip
ment to the absolute requirements of
battle.
AS Henry was in my platoon | was
able to see how he worked and know
that he was fine soldier and young
man. Twas deeply grieved to lose so
fine man for even this cause and the
men felt the loss of fine comrade in
his death. l will always remember
him as a willing, brave, cheerful
soldier of excellent character. Your
loss is great, but the nation and the
armys loss is also great when il loses
men like Henry E. Watkins.
l extend to you my deepest sympathy
and may God in his good time repay
you for this sorrow and bring peace and
happiness to you in the days to come.
Very respectfully,
1T. JOHN P. SELLERS
Co. H. 4th Infy A. E. F.
P. ST. cannotte you exactly where
the grave is but it is on the battlefield
of the second battle of the Marne in
which he fought The Graves Identi-
fication Dept. can tell you the spot.
Much fighting was done there.

(To Mrs. Malinda Sexton relative to the
death of her son, Henry E. Watkins.
August %, 1918.

August %, 1918.
Mrs. Malinda Sexton:-
Having just received your inquiry in
regard to Henry Watkins, will answer
it at once. / have written once in re-
gard his death but the letter may not
have been received by you at the time
of your writing.
1t is certainly very hard and sad
task to notify relatives of men who
have given their lives in this great
cause, but with the sorrow that it
brings to your hearts should go the
thought that he has given his fullest
devotion and supreme sacrifice for an
ideal that is the highest that man can
conceive. We have as the highest ex-
ample of sacrifice which we can look up
to the man who gave his life that the
world may be saved. We should in
these times Of sorrow take our part
with strength of heart and believe that
these things are the will of God who
will take care Of us all in the end. 1t
is time when those who pay the high
est should hold their head little higher
that they have been called upon to do
so. Our cause is right, saving the
world from the vandalism of the Rus
sian, it is in freedoms cause we have
taken up the sword and in victory we
will lay it down; but as all valuable
things must be gotten through our
sacrifice so in this the highest cause
the highest sacrifices must be made.
Believe that Henry has done the most
noble thing man can do today and try
to let the honor that is yours in giving
him assuage the sorry in losing true
and loving son however hard that may
be at this time.
In the first days of June our Com
pany took its position in the front line
on the Marne River. During our tour
Of duty there, We of course were in

Aug. II, 1918.
Dear Sis and Mother:-
Have been trying TO get time to write
you for two weeks but we have been
travelling most of the time. We are in
wonderful old French village now,
in southern France, we are bilhted
right in the city, our Band is in the city
Dance Hall and we have fine home,
the people here sure do use us fine and
will do anything for us.
This town is situated on the top of a
mountain and has castle on it that is
hundreds ofyears old and was captured
by Julius !Ceaser at one time after a
hard battle, we can see the country for
miles around from here and its a very
beautiful sight, the whole country looks
like garden, War is the laat thing one
would think of here.
The people here like our Band very
much, we play two or three times
day and they are always out to hear us,
we played in big religious procession
yesterday and marched right into the
Church playing, the Church is about
1900 years old, they say. All the build
ings here are built of stone and last for
hundreds of years.
Our whole Company is going down
to the river Loire today, we take our
supper and swim and wash our clothes.
It's funny to watch the fellows learn
ing to speak French, most of us get our
books and a couple French children,
the children here all can read and
write and will spend hours with us
trying to teach us, and If we can stay
here awhile, We will be regular French
men.
We are going to another town Sun
day to play for some celebration. Its
very hard work to play so much, but
when the people enjoy it I'm willing to
play all day and half the night, and we
get chance to see more of the coun-
try that way. haven't gotten any
mail yet but expect some soon now
that we are settled, up to now, we
would get to one Camp, rest a day or
two and go to another and the mail has
hard work finding us.

Aug. 8, 1918.
Dear Friend George
l am sitting on the bottom of rather
damp hole in the ground which has
served two of us home for a matter
of weeks, and will probably continue
to do so for matter of months or years
more. Walked guard four hours dur
ing the night, worked all day from 5:15
a. m. to 500 p. m, yesterday and ex-
pect to do so today, and my partner is
asleep and snoring.
This is one of the 800 days per year,
that it rains in France, but is not rain
ing hard so will pass as a good day
here. This part of France is hilly with
a great many woods, and Quite few
very narrow deep streams and is very
pretty especially when the SUN shines.
The great amount of rain keeps every
thing green and the wheat, which is
the principal crop in this section, is the
finest | have ever seen. It is being
harvested now, cut with cradles, hauled
on carts, threshed with fails or horse
threshing machines and ground into
flour by windmills, like those of
Holland.
August 18th.
Was suddenly interrupted while
writing this letter few days ago, and
ordered to come to this place a few
miles back of the lines and now live on
the ground instead of in it, and are no
longer burdened with our iron hats and
gas masks. Fritz is rather reluctantly
going home. The day is fine. have
good job and everything seems fine.
Am working with the English at pre-
sent with no other American on the
job. work eight hours on, and eight
off, days in Marie, and nights in a
cave, so #. wide and 100 #. deep, dug
over thousand years ago. The Marie
OF a village is, by far, the best building
in it, and houses the mayor and other
village officers, Justice of the Peace,
Schools for Boys, Postoffice, Telegraph
Telephone, Police, etc., in peace times.
Last night at midnight, was going
to work considerably faster than usual
on account of Fritz in an aeroplane
overhead busy chuckipg bombs over
board, when he was caught in our
search light, one of our one man planes
then got above him and dropped bomb
on him setting him on fire and ex-
ploding his petrol tank. He then fell
to the ground and on arrival there his
load of bombs exploded and blew him
up. 1t was a wonderful sight and one
we will long remember. The crew OF
eight were badly broken up and burned
and were buried nearby.
Write me when you can. With best
regards to yourself and wife.
