HONOR DEAD - CHICAGOAN WHO ANSWERED FIRST CALL DIES IN SERVICE

Marshall E. Matson

Chicago will bury another of its war dead tomorrow.

Marshall Matson, who reenlisted in the navy two days after President Wilson
proclaimed a state of war, had made six trips with troop convoys to France when
he was stricken with pneumonia March 18.  He was taken to a naval hospital on
the Atlantic seaboard, where he died April 15.  His body arrived in Chicago
yesterday.

Sailors from the Great Lakes Naval Training station will act as an escort at the
funeral, which will be held tomorrow from the Hague Lutheran church, Wabansia
and North Central Park avenues.  The Rev. M.L. Nesvig will conduct the services.

Matson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Matson and a brother and sister live at 2620
Ballou street.
