Many hearts were made sad when
the news of the death of Isom Wells,
which occurred Saturday morning at

Camp jackson where the Lamar

pneumonia set in, which, it is said,
was the cause of his death

home of Mrs. c. Z. Sisk where hey
were viewed by many friends, and
after funeral services by the Rev.
Hargiss, assisted by Rev. Woolard

to Mt. Zion for burial The floral
offerings were beautiful and numer-
Gus. A beautiful reath of red, white
and blue, ordered from a Memphis
florist, by number of his Oxford
friends was token of esteem and pa
trotism, and spoke, in silent tone
volumes in praise for the gallant
young man who sacrificed his life fol-
his country.
1 This is the first death in the Ok
ford company.

since war was declared, making
one trip to San Francisco only to
be sent back home. He was
given permission Monday to vol
unteer, and he went away with
the other boys who made up the
last quota of the original draft.
Dave is one of the oldest en-
ployes on the Santa Fe, and the
youngest conductor, and has had
little experience in every Job

position. He always applied him
self faithfully to the job in hand,
and his promotions came quick
and fast, and that same spirit is
what makes a good soldier.
