SUPREME SACRIFICE BY TWO VIRGINIA BOYS 

Charles L. Scott and James W. Frye Killed In France 

  Two more Virginia boys are reported having made the supreme sacrifice, 
having been killed in action in France during the month of October, and their 
names are added to the honor roll of heroes. 

  One of them is Charles L. Scott, of Carrsville, Va., and the other is James 
W. Frye, of Marion, Va., both of whom have relatives and friends in Norfolk. 

  James W. Frye was the son of Mr. and Mrs. N.L. Frye, of Marion.  He was 
killed in action on October 1, according to an announcement received by his 
father from Washington, D.C.   Mrs. T.M. Wallace, 1825 Lindsay avenue, 
Norfolk, is an aunt of the young hero.  He left Norfolk as a member of Co. F, 
infantry. 

  Charles L. Scott, of Carrsville, was also in Norfolk before going overseas. 
The date of his death has not been definitely determined, but it occurred 
during the fiercest of the fighting in October.
