Oregonian, February 2, 1919, page 5

Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Schwerin, of Willamette, received official word a few days ago of the death of their youngest son, Arthur E. Schwerin, killed in action in France.

The letter received from the Adjutant General is as follows:

"Private Arthur E. Schwerin, of Company A, 363d Infantry, 91st Division, who was killed in action November 2, 1918, left as his emergency address, the name of his mother, Mrs. Louise Schwerin, Willamette, Ore."

The letter was dated January 8, 1919 and the last letter received by the parents from the young man was dated in October, a short time before the young man met his death.

Arthur E. Schwerin was born in Cincinnati, O., October 29, 1892, and was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Schwerin. He came West with his parents about 10 years ago, and first settled at Elwood, Clackamas County. Later he came here with his parents and was employed for seven years by the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company.

When entering the service he went to Camp Lewis. He was stationed at Camp Merritt, New Jersey, for a short time before going overseas. Soon after his arrival in France he was in action and while on the firing line wrote of some of his experiences to his parents at Willamette.

Arthur Schwerin is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.J. Swhwerin, of Willamette; two sisters, Mrs. Mahlon Snidow, of Willamette; whose brother-in-law, George snidow, of Willamette, was also killed in action in France; Mrs. Sidney Waldron, of St. Helens, Or.; two brothers, Frank Schwerin, who has been in the reserve in the United States Army and who recently returned to willamette at the home of his parents, from the East, and Albert Schwein, a machinist, who resides at Sellwood.
