COMRADES OVERSEAS - COMRADES UNTIL DEATH
On the battlefield of France, John Raesler, fought with other American soldiers against the enemy. Through the terrible hardships of a gruesome war the buddies fought side by side. Then came peace and the return to their own country.
Over in France these buddies of a common cause resolved that buddies they shall remain until life's last breath shall have been exhaled. And then those that remain shall with honors appropriately bury their fallen comrade.
John Raesler's buddies fulfilled that solemn rite last Thursday. John was one of them. In the war he fought with them, in peace he associated with them, was loved, honored and respected by them, a good citizen of the community, a loved husband and father.
And so, as his body was taken to its final resting place, the procession moved slowly, a guard of honor carrying the flag of his country and the flag of his legion post. and the final parting of the comrades was made with the firing of a salute and the sounding of the distant taps. Thus have comrades honored their own.
He was the son of August Gustav Raesler and Augusta Woiczechowski.
John was baptized on 17 May 1894 at St. Peter's Evangelical and Reformed Church in Amherst, Lorain Co., OH.
