DONALD O. DUCKWORTH

Donald O. Duckworth was born at Russell, Iowa, July 11, 1895, and died at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 12, 1918. His age was 23 years, 3 months and 1 day. He was a quiet and inoffensive young man, with many friends and no enemies. He answered his countries call June 25, 1918, and went to Camp Dodge, in Company 64, depot brigade 163.

For many weeks he has been in the hospital where he died last Saturday, his mother being present at the time. He spent all his life in Iowa, excepting a few years in Nebraska. He leaves in bereavement his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Duckworth of North Platte, Neb., and six brothers and six sisters: Fred of California; Mrs. Fannie Dukes and Mrs. Flora Sanborn of Russell; Mrs. Carrie Poush of Newbern; Harley of Melcher; Ray, somewhere in France; Mrs. Bonnie Baughman of Gunwald; Joe of Red Oak; Mrs. Artie Sonneman of North Platte, Neb.; Nelson, somewhere in France or Belgium; Ruth of Russell; and Paul of North Platte, Neb. Very many other kindred and friends are also left to mourn their loss. Like those who die in battle, he died for his country's cause. His star is on the service flag at Bethel, and now the blue star is taken off and the golden star is put on in its place. He died to make men free. As he entered the dark valley we trust that Jesus met him and rowed him safely over the tide.

Rev. E W. Curtis conducted a short open-air service at the Bethel cemetery yesterday afternoon in connection with the interment.
