The news of the death of Leroy C. Hammett, which occurred in France on Oct. 
10th, came as a great shock to his many friends here last Tuesday, his parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hammett, who reside near Reno, received a telegram 
announcing their son's death which occurred on the above date.  The telegram 
stated that pneumonia was the cause of his demise.  He was in the 303 Signal 
Battalion Corps and had been in France for about four months, having been 
called into the service about seven months ago.  "Roy" as he was called by his 
numerous friends here, was about 26 years of age, and was employed by the City 
at the power plant for several months.  He was a young man well liked by 
everyone and the news of his death will be a shock to everybody.  We join the 
many friends of the bereaved parents in extending condolence.
