Las Vegas AGE - 8/3/1918


ANOTHER VEGAS BOY HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE



FRANK S. FULLER, WHO ENTERED THE SERVICE SEPTEMBER 9 KILLED IN ACTION



    Another Clark County lad has made the supreme sacrifice in giving his

life for the Liberty of the world.  Frank S. FULLER was killed in action

on the fields in France during the recent great battle in which the American

soldiers proved themselves heroes.

    On Wednesday morning, September 19, 1917, twenty-six Clark county boys

marched down the streets of Las Vegas in high spirits.  They were escorted

by the Grammar School Boys Band, citizens and officials.  At the bank

corner the parade halted and the departing soldiers were given a brief address 

by Judge LILLIS and comfort bags were presented to them by the Vegas women.

Then to the train and a hurried good-bye and a wave of the hand and Frank

S. FULLER and his companions were on their way.

    Of the manner of his death nothing is known at this time, but all

believe that he met his fate bravely, as did hundreds of other American

boys.

    Frank FULLER was for several years fireman on the Las Vegas & Salt

Lake road, residing in Vegas.  He was born in Springville, Utah, May 30, 1888,

at which place his parents with several brothers and sisters still reside.

In Las Vegas the only relative is Mrs. S. W. CRANER and to her as well as the

other sorrowing ones, our deep sympathy goes out.

    The following are the names of all those who entrained for Camp Lewis

on that 19th of September with Frank FULLER.  They are fighting our fight on

the Western battle front.  Let us hold them in remembrance, and when we

welcome those who return to us when peace comes, may we be able to do so

with the consciousness that we who have remained in our peaceful homes

have used every energy and means to assist our country and support and encourage

those who are offering their lives for the liberation of humanity.
