The Hartwell Sun, June 28, 1918

First Hartwell Soldier Killed

News received Friday night at 9 o'clock.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. T. Cason killed on Battle Fields of France.

The following telegram was received in Hartwell last Friday night at 9 o'clock by 
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. T. Cason;

"Washing, D.C., Friday, June 21.
"Ed T. Cason, Hartwell, Ga.
"Deeply regret to inform you that Private George W. Cason, infantry, is officially 
reported as killed in action 
May twenty-eighth.
     "McCain, Adjutant General."

George was the first Hart county boy to be killed in the present war. He enlisted 
in 1916, going to the Mexican border that year, returning east later and then went 
to France.

He was 22 years old.

He was a brave soldier and a good boy--the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Cason, who 
have three other sons in the service.

The bereaved parents and family have the sympathy of all in their sorrow.
