 MT. and Mrs. John Tonon, who left here seven years ago for Italy, re- turned last week and are now staying with her sister, Mrs. Paul DaDalt. After leaving here they bought a farm in Italy and shortly after MT. Tonon was drafted into the Italian army and served the four years of the war. Mrs. Tonon was left alone on the farm with her young daughter. Soon the Germans occupied the terri tory where the farm was situated and about 20 Germans took possession of the house. There was about 400 gallons of wine on the farm, a large quantity of grain. The Germans drank as much of the wine as they could and destroyed the rest and footed every thing in the house. Mrs. TOnon was made to sleep in a closet in the house and she and her daughter were not allowed anything to eat except what they could pick up, and both suffered severely. AS Mrs. Tonon could not understand the German language she was unable to converse with them. She finally found a man who could talk the English language and she managed to get complaint to a Ger man officer, who made things easier for her for a time. After several weeks the first party left and an other party with a lot of horses occupied the place. This lasted for a number of months. Both Mrs. Tonon and her daughter became very much de- pleted in health. She did not hear from her husband for long time and each supposed the other was dead. They are both very thankful to arrive back in this country.
