place has been informed that her.
cousin. Sergeant Louis B. 0uimette of
Brattleloro, has been gassed in France,
but is improving. He formerly was in
the 9th field artillery, but was trans
fcrred to the first army advanced re-
placement depot. He was gassed in
October, but not until now has official
news come to his relatives. In letter
written to Mrs. Jacobs late in Noyem-
Der Sergeant Guimette said nothing
about being gassed, but the absence of
the usual story of experiences led Mrs.
jacobs to suspect that something was
wrong.
Sergeant Ouimette was born in Brat
tleboro 80 years ago, a son of Louis and
Minnie (Counter) Ouimette. His par
ents formerly lived on Organ street,
but they are now in Montreal. He was
employed as brakeman on the Central
Vermont railroad and then went to
Burlington, later returning here and
enlisting in the regular army about II
years ago. He served IN the Philip
pines and went with General Perish
ing's expedition into Mexico as mem
Der of the hospital corps. His sister,
Mrs. Dora l4af'ranee, wife of Louis
I.aErance, moved with her husband TO
Detroit two years ago.
