LEHLE.

  Fred J. Lehle, son of George Lehle of 218 Crawford avenue, died of 
pneumonia in France on Nov. 22, according to official notification 
received by his father from the war department yesterday afternoon.
  The young man was identified with the army transport corps and 
probably died at a base hospital.  The message stated that he died of 
bronchial pneumonia.  He had written to his father on the day before 
the armistice was signed and he was well at that time.
  Before entering the service he was employed as an apprentice in the 
railroad machine shops and was inducted into the service by No. 2 draft 
board on last April, going aboard several months later.
  He was born in this city Aug. 22, 1896, and is survived by his father 
and a sister, Miss Mary, at home.  His mother and a sister preceded him 
to the grave.
