LEE MOORE KILLED AT FRONT

Word was received by Mr. L. C. Moore last Friday morning that his son, Lee 
Moore, had been killed in action on the battlefield in France, October 22nd. 
Thus another son has made the supreme sacrifice for his country. He has paid 
the price that the world might be made free front the iron grip of autocracy. 
Lee was inducted into the service of the United States from Hailey, Idaho, 
September 5th, 1917, and at that time entered the training camp at Camp Lewis, 
and on August 1st, 1918 sailed for France. He was a big husky young man 22 
years old with the best of moral habits. Just before sailing to take up his 
part in the world's struggle, he was home on a few days leave and stated at 
that time he was anxious to go and do what he believed to be his patriotic 
duty. He also took out his full quota of insurance which will be left to his 
relatives. He will ever be remembered by many friends who also extend to the 
relatives their sincere sympathy in the loss of a true American who leaves 
just a little mound some where to mark the spot, the last resting place of a 
boy who gave his all in the cause of freedom for the world.
