ELKO COUNTY BOY
ANSWERS WAR CALL
Charles Francis Oldham Goes
Down With His Ship When
Torpedo Sinks Lake Moor

Another Elko county lad has ans
wered the call of his country. A few
days ago an enemy submarine sent its
destructive missile into the yitals of
the good ship Lake Moor and our
fellow citizen was among its victims.
A total of forty-four people wer. re-
ported as lost from the personnel on
board the vessel. Five officers and
twelve members of the crew have
been landed at an English port The
sinking occurred at midnight on April
llth, in European waters unnamed.
The vessel Lake Moor was a cargo
carrier taken over by the United
States shipping board and assigned To
the ra"y in June of last year. She
was Il new vessel. The ship sailed
during The latter part of March.
CHARLES Francis Oldham. the Elko
lad whJ LOST his life when the Lake
Moor sank, was the son OF Edward
Oldham of Fox Springs. He was bu;
II years of age, having enlisted when
he was sixteen. with his parents con-
sent, whose patriotism prompted them
to allow him to seek his country's SER
vice. Young Oldham walked all the
way to Elko from Parks Station last
spring to enlist in the navy.
The young man leaves, his father.
mother and a sister surviving him.
His sister, Miss Della Oldham, is 4
student at the Elko high school
The Independent desires to express
its heartfelt sympathy to those who
have lost true and honorable son
and brother. Nothing can quite COM
pcnsate such a loss, we know, but the
thought that the boy died in the pur-
suit of his duty, is honor, although
tingcd with grief. Many hearts must
be saddened during this great war
and many homes bliGhted by just
such losses and the nation may better
serve humanity by giving rather than
keeping these brave souls at home
when their hearts are with the ser
vice. Charles Francis Oldham has
sought the path Of duty and Travelled
the way of honor to a glorious death.
His was of the noble spirit that truly
American. faced its eXccutioners with
the beautiful words that fell from
steady lips, Il only regret that have
but one life to give for my country"
