  A telegram was received by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wyreman of Duncansville 
stating that their son, Albert R. Wyreman had died in France on Sept. 
10, death being caused by pneumonia.
  The young soldier was 26 years old and had resided all his life in 
Duncansville.  He had arrived overseas on Aug. 5.  He was a member of 
the fourth battery, field artillery, and was sent from his home to Camp 
Jackson on June 1 and was only in training at that place about six 
weeks when he [was] sent overseas.
  The last letter received by his parents was written on Aug. 14.  
Among other things he stated that he was on his way to the front.  He 
was a member of the Lutheran church and Duncansville places its first 
gold star in the service flag in honor of him.
  Besides his parents he is survived by the following brothers and 
sisters: Luther of Pittsburgh, Harold in the United States service, 
Miss Olive, a nurse at the Altoona hospital, and Maud Grace, Charles,
