In little cemetery at Crystal
Lake, Minneapolis, there was laid
to rest last week the body OF Cor
poral Samuel Lundean, y. S. Army,
Thus ended the career Of one OF the
wars heroes. Corporal Lundean had
been under treatment in Mime
apolis hospital. Heart disease,
brought on by German poison gas,
was his trouble. Last week, walking
outside the hospital be tainted, fell,
and never rallied. His relatives could
not be located but on his person
was a U. S. Army discharge which
showed that ''for unusual bravery
under heavy shell fire at Massey Aux
Cois,' he was cited in Army Orders.
H. w. Abrahams, a former buddy
now living in Minneapolis, declared:
"Sam was a fighting fool and the
best buddy in the. world. Other
First Division men used to say that
the Fifth Artillery was made up OF
fighting fools'-bu few were as
brave as Sam Lundean." And so,
when all efforts to locate his relatives
proved unavailing, Sans comrades
of the Legion laid him gently to rest
on the green hillside Of Crystal Lake
cemetery. His buddies OF the First
Division Association furnished the
pallbearers and fired the final salute
over his grave. Somewhere, those
I dear to him may read these lines
and feel comforted to know his grave
will not be forgotten. The Legion
stands on guard.
Gas Legionaires and as Americans
we are proud of America and OF our
great national organization de-

Legion Posts, "But deep in our
hearts there CLOVIS a special pride in
our department and in the great state
of Minnesota. Our greatest glory
| is our North Star State and all she
stands for. And our greatest wish
is to honor her, not only at home,
but when the hosts of the Legion
gather from the four corners of
America in Kansas City next Oc-
Iitober. In that monster parade Of
surging Legionaires from every state
in the Union, how many buddies
from your town will march shoulder
to shoulder with the buddies from
our other 485 Minnesota towns when
the bands start playing as General
Pershing and Marshal Foch give
the; signal which will start the great
est parade in all historya?"
