Charles DeLos Douglass was born
in the state of New York, June 5,
1885. Here his early life was spent
on the home farm. In early manhood
he caught the western fever and came
to Ohio. Here he alternated between
teaching and attending school. About
1860 he again started west and set
tied in Mower county, Minn.,' where
on March 9th, 1864, he was married to
Augusta Rowley. OF this union one
child survives. In May 1901, they
broke up the home where they had
spent their early married life and
moved to Brookings county to be near
their daughter where he has since re-
sided On Jan. 20, 1914, while spend
ing the winter in Florida, Mrs. Doug
lass passed away and was laid to rest
in Greenwood cemetery.
Mr. Douglass was converted early
in life and joined the Baptist church
After his removal to Brookings he was
chosen to be a deacon of the church,
which office he worthily held up to
the time of his death. Mr.. Douglass
was a quiet and unassuming man but
was a very positive and decided Chris
tian. He lived very exemplary and
devoted Christian life and was always
ready to respond to the call for ser
vice, whether in time or money. He
was greatly loved by all and will be
sadly missed by the church which he
so faithfully attended
He leaves a daughter, Mrs. James
Revell, and several grandchildren and
a host of friends to mourn his depar-
ture.

7:3U. On the way home from Bar-le-
Due we had couple of punctures,
one on the car was in and one on one
of the others. We drove about two
hundred miles on the trip and came
back to camp at about one O'Clock in

Verdun, from one to two miles, and
there is where most of the dead are

Verdun fronts. Just before reaching
Verdun the ground was covered with
trenches and between the trenches
was barbed wire. The hills are all
covered with dugouts north and north

selle, April %, 1919.-Dear Sister:
will today answer your letter that |
received yesterday. We are having
real spring weather here now. Nice
green grass and the trees nicely
here as it is in England. 1t makes me
feel like wishing | were home now,
when you write about the boat rides
and fishing that you have been doing,
and the meadow larks and robins back
again.
We have been having pretty nice
weather here also for long time, but
here are no enjoyments of any kind at

Headquarters that had good reasons
for going home have gone with other
squadrons and the Fourth Casual Co.
The 163rd Aero Squadron is now
back at this post for return to the
United States. Since I left them they
have been at Delouze and Ourchos,
about twenty-five miles northwest Of
here, but don't suppose that interests
you about my telling you where those
towns are have been over and Wis
tied them several times. The COM
mandng officer asked me if | wanted
to get back into the squadron again
said | would like to, so as to get
home so much sooner. and he said he
would try and get me transferred in,
but | am afraid that he will not sue
ceed as the colonel in command has
said that no more men should leave
these Headquarters. 1t now seems
that these Headquarters will be
moved up into Germany. | have
heard that We will be stationed near
the lines of both Belgium and Holland.
If cannot go home will like to go
up there.
