Gower Soldier Died in France.
Mr. and Mrs. George Fallis of Gower received an official message Saturday that their son Corp. George Maurice Fallis, had died Nov. 5th in France from wounds received in action.
Maurice was born, May 10th, 1894, in Gower, graduated from the public schools there and for some years was associated with J. T. Whitson in the hardware and plumbing business, at that place.
He volunteered for military service, Nov. 12th, 1917, and went to Ft. Hancock, N. J., for training. On his 24th birthday, May 10th, 1918, he sailed for France with the Coast Artillery. He wrote frequently and always cheerfully, the last letter received by his parents, being written Oct. 23rd. No boy ever grew to manhood in Gower with a larger circle of friends, more highly respected nor better loved by young and old than Maurice Fallis. Tho we sorrow with his loved ones in their loss we shall honor his memory and remember with love and pride the pure young life so cheerfully given to bring about the righteous victory for which our noble boys have fought.
Besides his parents he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Alpha Walkup and Miss Mildred Fallis of Gower and one brother, Pryor who is attending school at Manhattan, Kan., a member of the S.A.T.C. at that place. To these our hearts go out in deepest sympathy.
This soldier was originally buried in France, but was returned to the U.S. and buried here in August of 1921.
