Lieut. Waldo Slaton Buried in Atlanta
Nephew of Former Governor Slaton Dies of Influenza in Pennsylvania-Two Brothers
in France
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25 (special)-The body of First Lieutenant Waldo May Slaton,
son of William M. Slaton and nephew of former Governor John M. Slaton of this
city, who died in Pittsburg of influenza, will arrive in Atlanta, today and
funeral services and interment will be held here.

Lieutenant Slaton was one of three brothers in the service.  On account of his
engineering experience he was commissioned direct from civil life at the
beginning of the war, being a first honor graduate of Georgia Tech, and was
assigned to special duty in connection with the manufacture of steel products
and munitions for the government.  His father, William M. Slaton, was for many
years superintendent of Atlanta public schools.  His grandfather, the late Major
William F. Slaton, held the the same position.  Another of his grandfathers was
the late Chief Justice Jackson.

The other two brothers in the service are John M. Slaton, Jr., a lieutenant in
the heavy artillery in Frances, and William F. Slaton, Jr., who was recently
promoted to  captain in the 23rd infantry, second division.  This is the famous
division composed of marines and regulars who won undying glory at Chateau
Thierry, Soissons-Rheims, St. Mihiel and Sedan.
