Mary (Granb Ward. About four years
ago he married Miss Annie Smart and
soon after he enlisted in the service
joining Co. F, 18th Infantry, which was
sent overseas among the first. He saw
active service, enduring much hardship

was missing for several months and it
was reported that he had been killed in

the father was IN France. The youngest,
a girl, was one year old the day of the

sincere sympathy of the entire commu-
