DIED IN THE PHILIPPINES

BROTHER OF ROY T. LOCKETT PASSES AWAY

    Sad news came to an Anthony family this week from the far away 
Philippine Islands.  Mr. M. S. LOCKETT received word from the war 
department at Washington to the effect that the department had been 
advised by cablegram of the death of Wesley LOCKETT, which occurred on 
the 30th of June.
    Wesley LOCKETT was known to a great many Harper County people.  He 
was born in this county, raised here and lived here the greater part of 
his life.  He was a young man only 25 years of age and was a soldier in 
the army of the United States.  He had only four months longer to have 
served in the islands, then the troop to which he belonged would have 
been ordered to the homeland.  His death was a peculiarly sad one for 
his parents because they knew nothing of his illness and because they 
could not be with him at the end. - Anthony (Kansas) Bulletin

    Wesley LOCKETT was a brother of Roy T. LOCKETT of this city, who has 
the sympathy of all in this sad bereavement.
