To our village during the past week came another sad message of a young mans life given in the service of his country, and to another sorrowing family our thoughts turn in sympathy. On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wittrock received a telegram stating that their son, Herman died of pneumonia, in France, September 27, almost immediately after his arrival there, it seems. He sailed September 13.
The greater part of the young mans life was spent in this village, where he was born January 20, 1887. Until the past years he was employed for several years in E. P. Baumanns meat market. His experience in this business led to his appointment in the army as cook for his company. During the summer of the present year he was drafted into the army and called on June 28, to Camp Grant for training. Here he remained until he was sent overseas in September.
The day following that of Hermans departure brought his parents the information of their son Henrys departure overseas.
Besides his parents and the brother mentioned, he leave two brothers, Carl and John and three sisters, Mrs. Ed Krostag, Mrs. R. Hildebrand and Mrs. H. Jochmann.
