Camp Lee since last fall, is now safely
overseas. His homefolks here receiv-
ed an interesting letter from him few
days ago from Wareham, Dorset, Eng
land, where his regiment has been
temporarily located. We quote extracts
from his letter as follows:

Card of Thanks and Family's Tribute
to a Son and Brother.

Personally we cannot express our ap-
probation to the hundreds who extend
ed love and sympathy at our home, all
day Sunday, part of Monday and Tues
day, and to the many who sent letters
of coincidence from Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Harrisburg, Huntington, Pa,
Johnstown, Pa, Hagerstown ard from
smaller towns and communities nearer
home, when our dear boy, Percy, was
taken from us so suddenly. He was the
life and joy of our home, so good, so
faithful, so true. He was always so
glad TO get home Saturday evenings,
and we so happy to see him. He left
Hagerstown Saturday evening for home.
Supper was waiting here. When almost
home his auto turned over. He lived
only three hours,so sudden, so shock
ing. No one but those who have lost
dear ones in this manner can know
what it means. This has placed the
heaviest burden upon us we have ever
borne.
Among the many scores who came
were business men, with whom he had
dealt, and their families, many of them
from West Virginia and many other
sections, Mr.. Roessner, his employer,
and his family and employees, with
words of sympathy and love.
But while words cannot lift bur-
den like this, they help us bear it, and
without them | doubt whether we
could be up and about. So all these
friends of our dear boy have been so
helpful to us, and to every one we ex-
press our deepest gratitude and love.
And to all who contributed to the very
many floral tributes, the choir, the min
listers present, the bearers, both active
and honorary, those who rendered auto
service and to all who in any way rem
dered assistance we extend our heart
felt gratitude.
Our boy was faithful to the church,
the Sunday school, the home, where ne
never gave his mother or me an unklnd
word, and was faithful to his employer
and every friend he had. His brother
and sister live inPhiladelphia, hence he
was the only one to come home often to
bring cheer.
What shall we do? Somewhere in the
Bible we read, "Be still and know that
am God" So we will not murmur.
The influence of faithful life abides
forever. Absent now, but it will not be
long until loving companionship shall
be restored. Until then part of the
burden, at least, will abide.

Concerning A. G. Alder's Death.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank E. Alder, of
Brunswick, have received letter from
Francis Belknap, secretary of the
Phoenix Construction Company, in re-
gard to the death of their son, Albert
Garland Alder, in France, mention of
which was made in our last issue. Mr..
Belknap's letter, which is dated at New
York on July Sd, is as follows:
was deeply grieved TO receive the
cable which we transmitted to you the
other day, notifying us of the death OF
your son, Albert G. Alder, in an auto.
mobile accident in France. was first
attracted TO him on the work which we
were doing for the B. & o. Railroad at
Staten Island, and took him over with
me as assistant superintendent. He
was one of the best men we had, could
always be relied upon, knew his work
thoroughly, and was sober and indus
triouS. He had charge of all our plant
in France, and he did his work in
thorough and workmanlike manner.
Albert pleased me so much that took
him to Paris with me the first part of
April, and | recommended him for a
captains commission in the army to
Col. DAVIS, who was looking for num-
Der of experienced young engineers.
This commission was practically prom
ised him, and would, think, shortly
have been his.
The middle of April | was informed
that our contract for dock work was
practically completed, and that there
was not a sufficient amount of work re-
naming to warrant our retention in
France, and returned TO this country
about the first Of May. Albert received
an offer, after left, of position as
superintendent under another con-
tractor in France, and he had decided
TO accept this, pending the arrival of
his commission. Whether he had al
ready gone to the new work or not, do
not know. We also lack details of the
accident, except the fact that he was
driving alone. We have cabled to
France to our representative, and have
asked him to use every endeavor to have
his body shipped home, and to cable us
full particulars.
| hope that you will let me express
to you my sincere sorrow in his death,
for camped with him for nine months
in France, and aside from his ability
and industry, looked upon him as a
real personal friend whom could trust
in any emergency.
