RALPH R. SHADE, HOLLIDAYSBURG SOLDIER, DEAD

  Ralph R. Shade, a well known Hollidaysburg young man, who has been in 
the service of the United States for a number of years, died at Camp 
Beauregard, Louisiana, on Monday, October 12 at 1.35 o'clock, death 
being caused by pneumonia.  The body arrived in this city yesterday 
afternoon, at 3.50 o'clock, and was removed to the home of his mother, 
Mrs. Mary Shade at 1224 Spruce street, Hollidaysburg.
  The young man was born at Ore Hill, Oct. 13, 1892, and has been in 
the service for almost six years, having enlisted on the Fifteenth of 
November, 1912.  He served for several years at the Panama Canal, and 
in Mexico, and was lately transferred to Louisiana, presumably to get 
ready for overseas duty.
  After locating in Louisiana, Shade contracted pneumonia, from which 
he died.  He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary Shade of 
Hollidaysburg and the following brothers and sisters: William, J. E., 
Charles, Collin, Warren and Howard and Mrs. Jennie Yingling of this 
city, Mrs. Roddie Ickes, of Hollidaysburg, Mrs. Melda Shoop, of
