Earl Demarais, travelling sales
man of Minneapolis, and son OF
Hrs. Hattie Demarais, formerly
residents of this city, was here
\ few days the past week on
business. While here he took
sufficient time to visit the old
hannts of his childhood days IN
which he found great pleasure.
He said that he found great
pleasure in looking over the old
Howe High school grounds
where he played for several
wears of his early childhood DAYS.
1t has been 27 years since ne
was here and while Grand Rap
ids has grown and made many
fa,nrable strides forward, he
still found MANY old places that
were still familiar to him. 1t
appeared funny to him that so
many that he knew as a boy
wore either gone away or pass
Cd on to the great beyond. He
led to call upon all those he
knew and spent three days most
pleasantly. Earl in his person
ality reminds us of his father, D..
D. Demarais, who still has many
friends who enjoy a visit with
any member of his family

OSCAR r. MILLER,
maior. 361st Infantry,

Maj. Miller received the Distinguish
ed Service Cross for conspicuous gal
lantry in action near Gesnes, France,
September IS, 1913. After two days
of intense physical and mental strain,
during which Maj. Miller had led his
battalion in the front line of the adj
vance, through the forest of Argonne
the enemy was met in a prepared pO-
sitiOn south of Gesnes. Though al
most exhausted, he energetically re-
organized his battalion and ordered
an attack. Upon reaching open
ground, the advancing line began to
waTer in the face of machine gun fire
from the front and TANKS and direct
artillery fire. Personally leading his
command group forward between his
front line companies, Maj. Miller in
spired his men by MS personal cour-
age and they again pressed on toward
the hostile position. AS this officer
led the renewed attack he was shot
in the right leg, but he nevertheless
staggered forward at the head of his
command. Soon afterWard he was
again shot in the right arm, but he
continued the charge, personally cheer
ing his troops on through the heavy
machine gun fire. Just before the OBJ
jective was reached he received a
wound i'll the abdomen, which forced
him to the ground, but he continued
TO urge his men on, telling them to
push on to the next ridge and leave
him where he lay. He died from his
wounds a few days later. Maj. Mil
ler's widow lives at 1927 West Fifty
first street, Los Angeles, Cal.

nesday evening, when he was
knocked down in the stall by his
young horse. No one knows how
it happened, but about nine p.
n. he went to feed the horse, as
only an hour or so before he had
returned from crying an auction
1t Ed. FoX's place and did not
feed the horse then. About l
o'clock in the morning, his wife
got anxious about him and did
not know where he had gone, but
got her II year old daughter up
and together went to the barn,
where they found him face down
covered with straw and manure,
where the horse had probably
paved him. Help was summon
ed and as luck had it, DR.. Looze
was on his way out this way, so
he was stopped and gave first
aid and on his return from his
call, he looked him over thoroly
