First Evangelinian To Die In Service

We regret to learn of the death of Private Edward Hussey, who died at Camp 
Pike, Arkansas of pneumonia.  His remains were met at Cheneyville by a large 
number of Woodmen and escorted by them to the Griffin graveyard where burial 
took place under the auspices of Bascom Stewart W.O.W. Camp with 
Woodman ceremonies.

His aged father and mother have our deepest sympathy in the sad loss of 
their son, who left home about three months ago to do service for his country.

Young Hussey is accredited to the Lone Pine section and was one of many 
caught in the army draft.
