Messages received in the city this afternoon brought news of the death of
another Manitowoc county boy for his country and the service star in the flag at
the home of August Ahrens, on route No. 6, this city, has been turned to gold.
Harrison Ahrens, 28, died at Camp Custer, Michigan at noon today, following an
attack of illness which he suffered recently and which summoned his father to

pneumonia.
The body will be brought to this city for burial, accompanied by the father, who
