Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard, 8 May 1919

Hugo Fales, of Belding, has been killed in France by the premature explosion of 
a shell, according to a telegram received this morning from Maj. Chas. Ross, by 
Mrs. Ross.

The telegram which came reads as follows:  Bourges – Hugo killed May 2d by 
premature explosion of a shell.  Charles Ross.

Hugo Fales was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Fales, now of Belding, but 
formerly of Ionia, when Mr. Fales was sheriff of the county.  Hugo grew up in 
Ionia and was one of the best known and best liked boys here when he attended 
school.

The news of his death will be received as a shock by his many friends.  He was 
one of the first Ionia county boys to go to France, leaving early in 1917, and 
joining the French ambulance corps, from which he was transferred to the U. S. 
army.
