The end of Mr.. Dolf's mortal life
came after long period of sickness,
but nevertheless it came suddenly;
he had been able to be ont of the
house and walk about The neighbor-
hood just a few days before his
death: he contracted a cold which
settled on his bronchial tubes and
brought about his death. 1t had been
his hope that he might live to see
his son Howard who is now with the
Army of Occupation at Obermendig
Germany; but that wish was denied
him.
His sons Arthur and Carl Dof and
his brother T. H. Dolf and sister Mrs.
Zobrasky were notified and arrived in
Wauseon; Carl from Camp Taylor.

Westerville, Ohio on Saturday and

goth, 1859; he came as a lad of
seven years. to Wauseon with his
parents in 1866 and this village has
been his home since that time. He
attended the "Old White School
House" which formerly stood on the

A motion which carried unani-

the Congregational church the bell
which had formerly been purchasel
from them by the town and used as
a fire alarm until it was cracked al
the time of the Victory celebration
at the news of the cessation of hos
tilities of the World War.
This bell formerly hung in the
belfry of the old Congregations
church on South Fulton Street anC
was used by this church for many
years to announce the hours of ser
vice.
The proposed plan is to have the
bell mounted in a conspicuous place
and Inscribed with a brief outline
of its history.

proved 1t to be the best for at drills

always came first. We were finish
ed with our target practice and ready
to move to the front all packed up
ana waiting orders to move when one
night we got the word the Armistice
was signed, we had all heard this be-
fore and didn't pay any attention to
It. when we were awakened that
night by all the bands in Camp play

crazy then I knew the news was true
some of the boys were glad, some
were mad for after all our hard
training we didn't get the chance to

l was glad, did want to see that
section of mine in real action for

much in time of action as they could
in practice. But now that it is
all over and we didn't get the chance
ut any of the Huns l can only say
that was ready to fight and didn't
get the chance to do so.
We stayed IN Camp De Mud Pond
as the boys called it, for the mud
was foot or more deep and II
rained all of the time. Then we
came to this place where we are now
on the 18th of February 1919. We
are in little city, Pont A.. Mousson
about 20 miles from Metz. Metz is
the city they were going to make a
drive on next. 1t was to take place
on the 17th of November and was
to be the greatest drive of history
but as the armistice was signed or
the 10th of November the great
worlds drive never took place.

like to talk of it all they say is that
the boys that didn't get in action

Dear Mother =
AS you have asked me so many
times to write letter that you
might have it published, l will say
that l am no newspaper reporter and
not much on this writing stuff. Just
tie of the happenings of the past
six months might be of interest 60
the readers of this.
My Regiment left the U. S. on the
22nd of August 1918 and sailed on
the transport Lenape, she WIS a
small tub and it was very crowded
as there were 2200 men aboard.
We had the good luck to have our
engine break the third day out and
the rest of our convoy left US. that
IS when the boys felt sick and blue,
for we were some where on the At
lantic with a broken engine and no
/ protection. Gee we would have been
| fine bait for Sub. After our en-
gine was fixed and we were on our
way full speed ahead, we received
word from the convoy that they had
/ hit a nest of Cubs so we turned south
and Travelled south all night. We
caught our convoy on the seventh day
and l think it was the same night
lust Mt dusk the ship next to us
opened fire and the trumpter sound
! ed Abandon Ship, talk about a bunch
of men getting to the top deck, you
should have seen the scramble, you
should have seen the Sub chasers and
destroyers get busy, they were going
in al directions, dropping Daath
Bombs, they say they sank that Sub
so we all went back to our hunks
feeling better than we did when we
were called out.
We landed in Brest, France on the
2rd day of September and were taken
to rest camp so that we might have
a little recreation, we were put IN a
little fed about three hundred yards
square and a guard Private around
the fence, if we were caught out of
the field we were tried by a Court
Martial. that was a wonderful rest
camp. five days later we marched
back to Brest and loaded on a fine
French train, we had side door Pull
mans that said on them, eight Cher
; or %orty Hommes, that was fine
trip. Two days later we landed in
Camp De Meucon where we were
given cur first instructions of French
Artillery. Our guns were the French
rs M. M. they are something like the
American three inch piece, so we
started our new drills and school. It
was fun to go to school for our
teacher was a French Sergeant, we
couldn't understand over half he was
talking about. I studied Grads Mill
meatus Platives Drums and D. over
E. equals M. until l could see them in
my sleep, then we went to the range
for firing practice. That was very
interesting, l had the second Sectior
