Latrobe Bulletin, Fri, Nov 29, 1918 ·Page 1
Though Axel Lundquist, member of Company M, of Latrobe, was killed in action on
the 29th of September, two months ago today, it was not until near the close of
Thanksgiving day, yesterday, that the word of the loss of their son reached Mr.
and Mrs. August Lundquist of the Ligonier Valley, The news came in the form of a
War Department telegram. It was of the customary stereotyped form, and said that
Corporal Axel Lundquist, Infantry, had been killed in action, September 29th.
Corporal Axel Lundquist was a brother of Sergeant Emil Lundquist, who also was a
member of Company M and who lost his left arm, the night Company M was bombed by
an enemy airplane. Sgt. Emil Lundquist was sent back to America, a month or more
ago, for treatment, and he is now home on a leave of absence. His arm had to be
taken off above the elbow. He was with Company M on the border. Corporal Axel
Lundquist joined Company M following the declaration of war. He was slightly
wounded, early in the fighting, but was able to return to duty. He was about 27
years of age. Before enlisting, he was employed at the Hostetter store. He was
well known in Latrobe, and was well liked.
