In accordance with his oft-repeated request, burial of the body of Alonzo SARVER, soldier, who drowned near Hattiesburg, Miss., last week, was made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery here Sunday afternoon, after funeral services in Peru. The Sarvers formerly lived near Rochester and the young man had spent much time here. He was a nephew of John [WERNER], Phillip [WERNER] and William WERNER.
Sarver's death was the second by drowning in Leaf river since the cantonment was formed at Camp Shelby. A companion saw Sarver's difficulty, but was not strong enough a swimmer to reach him. The body was quickly recovered and sent to the home of the soldier's father, Amos C. SARVER, Peru, Ind., in the charge of Corporal Oscar W. WERNER. Sarver was a member of the 139th machine gun batallion. In reporting the drowning, Captain John B. DILWORTH, his commander, said that Sarver had been an excellent soldier and that he died in the line of duty. His beneficiaries will therefore realize on his war risk insurance.
