The sad news was received here last Friday by Mr. and Mrs. James Spencer announcing the death of their son, Bryon Spencer, at a hospital in England. Bryon was called with the bunch from here August 26th. He was not in camp long before the sad news came announcing his death. No details have been received as yet other than the fact that he is dead. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer have the sympathy of the entire community who join with them in their great loss. Byron is well and favorably known here, having lived here for some time with his brother and his parents and he was always willing and eager to do all he could to assist in any public benefits no matter what the nature of them would be. When he left our little city a few weeks ago he bade us all good by with his good natured smile and little we thought that was his last farewell. We hope to have more particular and further details a little later. – Miles Reporter.
