The Death Angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Huff and took from them their son, John, age 22 years and 7 months. John was called from his home in September to go and fight for his country, he answered the call and left home Sept. 20; he stayed at Camp Taylor awhile and then was removed to Camp Shelby, Miss., where he spent a few weeks and was taken sick with measles and pneumonia fever, and died on Dec. 11, 1917. His body was started from Miss., Dec. 12, and reached his home Dec. 15th. He had never made any confessions to the church but had always been a good, kind and loving boy. Services were held at the home Saturday at 3 o'clock p.m., by Rev. Bartlette and on Sunday at 2 o'clock by Rev. Anderson; then he was taken for burial in the family cemetery near the home. He leaves a father, step-mother, one brother and two sisters, one half brother and two half sisters and one step-sister and a host of friends. We extend our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved family.
"We love him, yes we love him;
but angels love him more,
and they have sweetly called him
home to yonder Shining Shore."
