man FOUND DEAD
DURING MORNING
AN DREW wESTMoRELAND
EVIDENTLY BURNED
TO DEATH

A lighted cigar or cigarette is
thought to have caused the life
of Andrew j. Westmoreland
whose body was found in his
room at $3.50 o'clock this morning
by Sheriff Berlin Sawyer.
Westmoreland was a black
smith in the Navy Yard. Indica-
tions are that he lay in bed last
night smoking either a cigar or
cigarette and fell asleep.
Sheriff Sawyer said that the
mattress was reduced to ashes,
but he believes that Westmore-
land must have regained con-
sciousness, for his body was
found sprawled on the floor four
or five feet from the bed.
81 would say" Sheriff Sawyer
stated, that the heat or the
smoke woke him up and that he
tried to get out of the room, the
door and windows in which were
closed, but that he was overcome
by the smoke and fell to the
floor and was suffocated.pa
Westfnoreland wat to bed
with his clothes and his
trousersowerep burned at the
waist, where he bdwas q severely
burnd. His hands were burned
also, so much so that a Masonic
ring slipped down to the tip OF
his finger. Another Masonic
ring was found in his pocket.
He occupied an apartment in
the war housing project on
Flagler avenue, near Poinciana
Place, and it was reported in
Key West this morning that he
had wired his wife, Mrs. Lydia
Hawkins Westmoreland, whose
home is at 500 North Cherry
street, Florence, Ala, informing
her he had leased an apartment
and telling her to come to Key
West. 1t was said further that
she is due to arrive this after
noon.
However, Sheriff Sawyer wiz
ed her this morning at the Flor
ence address, telling her of West
moreland's death and asking her
what to do with the body, which
is in Lopez Funeral Home.
Sheriff Sawyer said that, be-
cause of the fact that no air could
enter the room, very little dam
age was done to it or the furn-
ishings, aside from the bed. The
only other indications that there
has been a fire in the room IS
that the walls have slight am
Der tinge.

have sent their sons to fight and
die in all parts of the world
Women have been brought
together in this war and they
should hang togetherto work for
peace, she said" ~. a. srv
Drafted mothers of our nation,
that is what war is demanding of
women, as well as of men: to hang
together to work for peace" And
such work begins in our "own
back yards"
Yes, drafted mothers, we must
work together in our own ranks to
create unity in others. Unity is the
most essential implement of war,
because all other implements gain
nothing when unity is lacking.
Upon us, rests the responsibility
to keep our men united by being
united ourselves. Working to-
gether, not divided, alone makes
for the strength we need to sup
port those men.
Last Mothers Day seemed to
put particular emphasis on this.
In other times, Mothers Day was
an occasion whereby we received,
instead of giving, honor. Unwit-
tingly we turned to our sons for
the difference they bestowed on us.
One might say, we became almost
weakened by the glory of moth
erhood. Since we had done our
part in having given them birth,
and in having reared them to the
estate of man, we felt our task
was ended. How little did we un-
derstand, however, the true mean
ing of a Mothers Day in time of
war! How little did we know of
the demands on mothers of fight
ing men!
A recent conversation which /
had with drafted mother, a wi
dow herself, made me realize this
fact more fully. "It's a glorious
thing to be mother, worthy of
a son fighting for his country"
she said. "In the past, I've never
been strong enough to do the
things I've wanted to. So on a
Mothers Day, my son did so many
lovely things for me-gave me the
most wonderful presents and made
an unusual fuss over me. And /
think that's why some of the wo-
men / know were unkind to me.
They must have thought l was
putting OIL mean about my
health-to get all that attention
from my boy. Then he was draft
ed and / was left quite alone.
Some weeks later, invited a
soldier and his wife to tea. He is
a flyer and was stationed near
here at the time; his wife came
down TO be with him. l served
them baked beans THAT night.
They just raved about them. And
the soldier said. Gee, how the fell
lows would envy me eating such
delicious home-baked beans!'
Right after that, / started baking
beans and selling them to the SOL
diers at cost. AT last ]. was of some
use--and in my own home, too,
where 1 could lie down when ]
got tired.
"Of course the women who had
been unkind found out about it.
So ! asked them if they would like
to help me serve, the. soldiers. II
just goes to show what a war will
do to people who have sons in the
army. Now these women are work
ing with me, because they, too
have sons in the service. And this
last Mothers Day we celebrated
in honor of our boys; we invited
fourteen soldiers in for a supper
of baked beans"
