Dan r. Richardson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. j. Richardson, well known
residents Of this county, died Wednes-
day, February 6, 1918, after long
illness, of pneumonia.
On September %, 1917, Dan was
drafted into the United States Army
and was sent to Camp Dodge, Iowa,
where he was in training as a private,
and where he gave up his life for his
conntry as truly as any soldier that
dies on the battle field. While not
unexpected, the news of his death
cast a shadow of sorrow over the en-
tire community. The Death Angel
won from all that loving hands and
hearts could Do
The body was brought to Linton on
Friday, February sth, and lay in state
at the Red Cross room, and all flags
in this city were at half mast.
Private Dan r. Richardson was
born January Is, 1895, at Lawn Hill,
Hardin county, Iowa. He grew to
manhood in Emmons county, North
Dakota. He had friendly disposi-
tion and his friends were numbered
by those who knew him, both young
and old. Before his death, he called
his Chaplain to his bedside end gave
himself into the care, of Almighty
God. During the last week of earthly
life, his father was with him, and each
day the scriptures we're read together
and prayer was offered to God and
Father of US all. He enjoyed these
times of meditation and prayer, and
when death came he was ready to go
and meet his Christ and God.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church on Saturday at
two o'clock p. m. All the business
places closed down during the services
and there was not room enough in
the church for all the friends that
were there to pay their last respects.
Rev. Swaney had charge of the SER
vices which were most impressive.
At the opening of the service, the con-
gregationl sang very reyerently and
softly america The Male Quartet
song two numbers, while Mr.. Fred E.
Lind sang solo and he and Miss Cam
eron sang duet. The floral offer
: ings were beautiful. The body was
laid to rest in the Linton cemetery.
Words are futile to assuage a brok-
en- heart and before the grief of SO
sad a bereavement as has fallen to
Mr.. and Mrs Richardson. the great
heart of the community goes out to
them in speechless sympathy, offering
the solacc they would help them find
somehow.
To the father and mother who have
cared for him unfailingly since his
birth; to the relatives and friends
this paper extends its sincerest sym
pathy.

find my battalion. ] threw in with a
battalion of Australians and was with
them for twenty-four hours.
When / found my chaps again the
battle OF High wood was pretty we'll
over, Our company for some reason
had suffered very few casualties, less
than twenty-nine. Company b, how
ever. had been practically wiped out,
losing all but thirteen men out of zoo.
The other two companies had less
than 100 casualties We had lost
about a third of our strength. It is
a living wonder to me that any Of us
came through.
l don't believe any OF us would
have Il it hadn't been for the tanks.
The net result Of the battle of High
wood was that our troops carried
on for nearly two miles beyond the
position to be taken. They had to
fall back but held the wood and the
heights. Three of the tanks were
stalled In the further edge OF the
woods-out Of fuel-and remained
there for three days unframed under
the IRE OF the German guns.
Eventually some one yentured and
got some juice IA to them aAd they
returned TO our lines, The tanks had
proved themselves. not only as ef-
fective fighting machines but as de-
stroyevs OF German morale.
