LIEUT. ELLENBERGER HOME

  Lieutenant J. W. Ellenberger, who has been in the army for the past year, 
has been honorably discharged from service and is enjoying a rest with 
relatives in Tyrone.  Dr. Ellenberger, who had been located in Wilkinsburg, 
enlisted in the service last February and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, where 
he took advanced work in his specialty (heart and lungs).  After six weeks he 
was ordered to the base hospital staff at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana, where he 
continued his special work.  Due to his efficiency, Lieutenant Ellenberger was 
recommended for a captain's commission prior to the signing of the armistice.  
This action, however, stopped both the granting and advancing of commissions.  
After a short visit with friends, Dr. Ellenberger will return to Wilkinsburg 
to resume his practice.  He will be accompanied by Mrs. Ellenberger, who, with 
the exception of three months in Louisiana, has spent the past year in Tyrone 
with her parents, Hon. Harry A. Thompson and wife, on Lincoln avenue.
