TOM SURFACE
KILLED IN FRANCE

Among the latest casualties re-
ported from France was the death
of MIR. Tom Surrage, who for many
months lived in and near Extra and
was well known BY nearly every
body.
He was grandson of Mrs. Mary
Kilworth Of this city, and a model.
young man in every particular.
He came to America some time
ago to make his future home but
when the Lusitania was sunk by
that damnable u boat, that caused
the loss of SO many valuable lives,
he was enraged by the act and de-
termined to help whip the Hun for
such diabolical atrocity.
Tom was Of a cheerful disposition
and made many friends. His pa
triotism took him to Canada, where
he enlisted for oversee service. He
gave his life to his country for dem
ocracy, August 9th. We know no
further particulars.
Memorial exercises will be held
in the Christian Church in this city
Sunday, September 22nd.
