sERGT. GUY MALCOLM YEATON

Impressive military services were held
Sunday, Sept 10, at 80 at the town Ii
brary, Islesboro, for Sergt. Guy Malcolm
Yeaton, Goth Co. 5th Marines, who was
killed in action in the Champagne sector
near Blanc Mont Ridge. Oct. 4, 1918, aged
81 years. The body was escorted to Bel
fast by the Frank D. Hazeltine Post of
the American Legion, which had full
charge of the ceremonies; the Rev. John
Brush preaching the funeral sermon. The
many beautiful flowers and number of
people present showed the esteem and
honor felt for him by the towns people
and summer residents. Sergeant Yeaton
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John R.
Yeaton and first enlisted at the age of %
on April 10, 1914, in Boston. When the
y. S. Marine Corps sent out call for
men to 60 to Mexico, he was one of Is
out of 100 to be accepted. He was as
signed to the battleship Delaware and
sailed for Mexico, where he did shore
duty. He was on the ship two years
when being transferred to land was sent
to Santo Domingo and later to France.
While on the Delaware he received two
first class medals, one for rifleman and
one for gun pointer. At the time of the
Belleau Woods attack he was one of the
marines singing and decorated with pop
pies to meet the French and give them
new courage and also paraded July 4th in
Paris to celebrate that victory. He was
Elp for promotion and recommended for
distinguished service cross. He received
Three citations-Bois Belleau, scissors
and Champagne; also French Four
Tagere for the valorous service rendered
in France. With the victory medal sent
to his parents were Aisne battle clasp;
1 Aisne- Marine battle clasp; st. Mihiel
battle clasp; / Meuse-Argonne battle
clasp; defensive sector clasp; 5 bronze
stars; silver stars. In the last letter
written home he said: "The marines are
still doing their bit and haven't received
a scratch yet" He was killed while or
ganizing his platoon for further attack
on the enemy, as his captain had evacu-
ated. They were waiting for orders from
the captain, which they didn't get, and
therefore he was the only one to lead his
men as they had to move then. He was
buried first on the field of battle Grave
No. ID and later in the American Aygonne
cemetery. One of his "buddies" said he
was always called Sergeant Guy" and
"his chief fault was always being ready
and willing to help others" One of the
head officers wrote: "Sergt. Yeaton was
a non-com. of proved ability and excel
lent character. His loss was deeply felt
by the entire company" We all feel the
deep regret that in serving his country so
well he was obliged to make the supreme
sacrifice for liberty. His parents, four
brothers and six sisters survive him:
Ethelrel, Alanson, Clyde and John A.
Keaton; Mrs. Vivian Berry, Mrs. Zania
Mclaughlin, Mrs. Althea Libby, Misses
Lormia, Kittie and Una Yeaton, and have
the sympathy of the entire community.
