A Tribute to Corporal Robert Combs.

Charles Combs, of Leon, treasures
the following letter received from
Captain Haines, B. Quimby,. com
manding Battery C of the goth Field
Artillery:
Dear Sir-I enclose money order
covering two hundred and ten francs,
due your son, Corporal Robert
Combs, by men in the battery
For a young man to have to give
his life in sickness after having sur
vived the hardships and dangers OF
war, seems doubly sorrowful. l
have known your son since April,
1918, and during that whole period
Robert Combs was the finest type OF
soldier in deed and word. l have
watched Corporal Combs on the wild
est nights when he had charge OF the
caissons moving up ammunition and
he was always calm, thoughtful! of
the men under him, and faithful to
the tasks assigned him. During the
winter and spring when so many
men fell down under the strain OF
monotonous work, with no real rec
reation available, your son was al
ways pleasant and efficient. Had he
lived he would today have been a
sergeant, as he was ranking corporal
in the battery. Sergeant kentner
will be able to tell you in detali
about your sons work, and also
about the spot in Mondif Luxem-
bourg, where he now rests Every
member Of G. Battery treasures the
memory Of Robert Combs. 81.
Very sincerely yours,
Haines E. Quimby.
Capt. Goth Field Artn4ery.

Disposes Of Ills Bank Stock and

25 Years in the Business.
deal was closed

A deal was closed Monday, in
which A. l.. Ackerley disposed of all
his stock in the Exchange National
Bank of Leon to his associates in the
bank, and he retires as president.
Mr.. Ackerley disposed of his in
; continued poor health, which caused
him to decide to retire from active
business, and try and regain his
health He will continue to make
Leon his home, but expects to spend
considerable time at some good
health resort, and will probably
spend his winters hereafter in Flor
siderable land in Decatur, Taylor
and Appanoose counties, and also in
Adair and Sheridan counties, Mo-,
and outside of looking after his land
interests, will take up no business.
Mr.. Ackerley commenced his bank.
ing career during the winter OF

Lamont. In 1895 he started the
Farmers and Merchants Bank at
Beaconsfield, and was afterwards as
sociated in the bank with W. A..
White as full partner. In 1899 he
sold his interest in the Beaconsfield
bank to Mr.. White and others, and
bought the Bank Of Grand River

Savings Bank Of Grand ltiver, which
took over the business of the Bank
of Grand River, this bank being at
terwards converted into the First
National Bank. He was also one of
the organizers OF the Gainesville,
Mo-, First National Bank.
In August, 1909, Mr.. Ackerley
purchased the Varga and Dorm inter
ests in the Exchange National Bank
of Leon At that time the bank hao
only $4,000 in deposits, and TO-DAY
the deposits are considerably over
100000, which speaks we'll for his
ability as president of the bank.
There will be no change in the
business affairs of the Exchange Ma

retiring, simply shifting of the Of
ficers, and the bank will continue its
business along the same methous
which have placed it among the
strongest financial institutions in
southern Iowa.
Mr.. Ackerley does not expect to
again enter the banking business or
any other business, as he feels that
twenty-five years as active head OF
bank is long enough service for
one man. He requests us to express
to the people of Decatur county his
appreciation of the confidence they
have shown in him during all OF
these years, and feels that he has
rendered them good faithful service.
He leaves the bank in good, strong
healthy condition, and bespeaks for
it continued growth and success.
