Earl Bain Reported Dead

J. F. Bain received the following telegram from the War Department
Tuesday--

Mr. John F. Bain,
Deeply regret to inform you that it is officially reported that
Pvt. Earl Bain, Infantry, died about Nov. 19. Cause of death to
be detained.
                                     Harris.   Adj. Gen.

Friends here have received no word from Earl for several months and it has
been feared that he was dead, tho no official notice has been received
until now. Sincere sympathy is felt for the family who have waited long and
anxiously for some word from the soldier boy.

The deep blue star in the window there,
    Is replaced with a star of gold,
The soldier lad is sleeping where
    The tide of battle rolled.
But our hearts and thoughts to him are bound
    With memory's golden chain,
All honor to him who in death profound
Will never come back again.
