Las Vegas AGE - 7/27/1918
LINCOLN COUNTY BOY DIES IN THE SERVICE



    Clarence HUNTSMAN was the first Lincoln county boy to enlist for the

war and was the first of our boys to give up his life.  The county council of

defense met Tuesday evening and made arrangements to be represented at the

funeral.  The council also decided to take the Pioche band to Caliente on

this occasion.

    Word was received here Monday of the death of Clarence HUNTSMAN at

Seattle, Washington.  He was 18 years of age and was the first Lincoln

County boy to enlist.  He enlisted in February, 1917, before we declared

war against Germany.

    He has been stationed at Camp Lewton, near Seattle.  The remains were

shipped from Vancouver, Washington Wednesday, and are due to arrive at

Caliente today.  The funeral will be held tomorrow (Saturday) and will be

conducted by the Red Cross.  Rev. P. S. SMITHE will deliver the funeral

oration.  It is hoped that a large number of automobiles will go down from

Pioche.

    The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac HUNTSMAN, life at Caliente and in

their hour of bereavement they have the sympathy of all. - Pioche Record
