Cedartown Standard,  Cedartown, GA., Thursday, November 7, 1918
Mr. Frank Sewell, On the 19th of October, 1918, at Fort Stanton, N.M., after a 
patient suffering for about eight months death called Frank Sewell and he went 
into the Great Beyond. During the last of November 1917, he volunteered to the 
service of his country, and for several months wore the uniform most proudly. 
He was first sent to Ft. Oglethorpe, and was then transferred to Ft. Dade, Fla. 
Where he was when given a medical discharge. The disease contracted there 
seemed never to lull in its deadly work, for he constantly lost in strength and 
vitality. Cheerful though he was to the last, he knew that his days here upon 
earth might be few, so he reconciled himself to the fact, and told his dear 
mother that he would not be afraid to go should Death call him, for he felt 
that all would be well with him. Cut down in the bloom of young manhood, it is 
sad indeed, but he was a true soldier to the end, for he suffered without a 
murmur and left to his loved ones a testimony of his faith which will be to 
them most precious, one which should make them feel that he is not dead, but 
sleeping the sleep of the righteous and awaiting the Resurrection. (Cedartown 
Standard, Thursday, November 7, 1918) 

Mr. Frank Sewell, The remains of Frank, son of Mr. I. B. Sewell of Cave Spring, 
were brought here Sunday for interment from the military hospital at Ft. 
Stanton, N. M., where he had been ill for several months. Funeral services were 
conducted at the cemetery by Rev. FJ. H. Hardy, of Cave Spring. Coming from a 
distance to attend the funeral were his sister, Mrs. Mareellus Benton of 
Monticello; his brother, Mr. L. Sewell of Mobile, Ala., and his uncle and aunt, 
Mr. and Mrs. V. D. Lanford of Floyd County. The bereaved family have much 
sympathy in the death of this excellent young man. (Cedartown Standard, 
Thursday, October 31, 1918)
