          CLARENCE EUPER DIES IN ENGLAND
CONTRACTS PNEUMONIA, TAKEN NEXT DAY AFTER LANDING,
MESSAGE OF DEATH SENT FROM WASHINGTON WEDESDAY.
   Mr. and Mrs. Martin Euper of Woodland received the sad news Wednesday of the
death in an English hospital of their son Clarence.
   Clarence was drafted in the 1917 July draft and was in training at Camp Custer
until he left in April, going with his company to England.  He was stricken with 
empyma or pneumonia the next day after landing and placed in a hospital.  His 
letters to his people tell of his illness and particularly of his having to learn 
to walk all over again through extreme weakness.
   A letter received a day or two before the sad message came tells of his
improvement, consequently the family were greatly shocked at the message of death, 
o particulars being given only death occurred June 25th..
   He was one of four children, two boys and two girls, and was a popular young man
of Woodland. 
   He wrote that one day during his illness he received thirty-nine letters and
fourteen on the next day.  His ambition seemed to be to recover that he might join 
the forces in France.
   Mr. Euper is the second young man from a neighboring locality to die as a result
of this war, both dying of disease, the other being Amel Hacket who died at Waco 
last winter.
