SON IS IN ASOLDIER'S GRAVE
Mother Waits Three Years, Then Hears Her Boy Is
 Dead
Fears To Tell Grandmother, 90 and
 Blind, the Sad News

'I don't know how I can tell my mother, who is 90 and blind, that
 title John is lying beneath the sod in m army burial ground in Louisiana.
 This was the statement given in a broken voice and between sobs by drs. Nellie Barker of Pomfret, for merly of Worcester, while visiting friends there a few days ago, after she had related the fact that her son, John William Barker, who would now De 23 if living, had been buried be- heath the sod in a Louisiana army camp burial ground for three years, and she had received the news from the War Department only three weeks ago.
 The facts as received by Mrs. Bar ker were scanty and bare. She learn ed that the boy, her only child, who left Worcester four years ago, and concerning whom she had heard noth- ing up to three weeks ago, died from bichloride of mercury, was buried in Louisiana, and that she could bring the body north if she defrayed the ex- penses of removal.
 Mrs. Barker said that ever since the disappearance of her son she had been driven to distraction, fearing that some harm would come to him alone in the world. It wore 80 much on her, she asserted, that when she gained consciousness, following the shock of the news of his death, phy- sicians ordered change of scenery, and for that reason she went from Pomfret to Worcester to visit friends.
 John was never strong, and prior to 1916, when he went away we were living together" said Mrs. Barker. He didn't like Worcester and wished to go away from here. worked, and told him that we would go to New York shortly if he would only bear up and have a little patience.
 'He used to deplore the fact that I had to work, and that my hands were not soft and so white as those of some other mothers he knew
 q told him that wanted him to get strong and for that reason wished him to remain in bed. l went to work one morning and returned at noon te find that he was not at home. The doorbell rang and l thought 1t was he. I went to the door and found one there, but instead letter in the mail box. In the envelope was bill and note to the effect that h was leaving, but that he would always bear me in mind.
 sIn 1916 and 1917 wrote the War Department, thinking that probably he had entered the army. There were no replies. l was driven almost to distraction for fear that my boy was sick or in trouble. It began wear on me so that friends noticed 1t though I denied it and had no com plaint to make, feeling that 1 alone would taste the salt of my tears. Finally, two weeks ago last Mon: day. received word that my boy hae enlisted in the army in August, 1917 and in November of that same year he died.
