Another Memphian died in the service of the nation when Leo Edward Maender, 18 years old, who had been in the Navy for over a year, answered the final summons at the Naval Hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y., last Wednesday. The body will be brought to Memphis for interment. When the U. S. entered the World War and the call for volunteers was sounded, one of the first local lads to respond was young Maender, who was then only 17 years old. After completing his training, he was assigned for duty on the U. S. S. Camden, a transport, and made two voyages around the Atlantic. There he was assigned to the U. S. S. Widgeon to take part in the perilous duty of minesweeping. In his term of service as a member of the "first line of defense", the young man acquitted himself with credit, and proved himself a worthy American, winning the commendation and esteem of his superiors.
About two weeks ago, relatives here were informed that young Maender had been attacked by Spanish influenza. Later there came another message from the hospital, in which it was stated that the sailor had passed the dangerous stage of his illness and was recovering. Then a few days later, a third telegram arrived, telling of his death.
Surviving him are his father, A. G. Maender of St. Louis, formerly of Memphis; two brothers, A. J. and Charles Maender, and three sisters, Mrs. T. H. Rocco, Mrs. F. A. Kuhl and Mrs. J. B. Shaffer, all of this city. ~~~ THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL, Nov. 3, 1918, page 7
