He has left to mourn him, besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Weylandt, two brothers, Lawrence and Alan, and three sisters, Esther Margaret, Mrs. H.L. Holst of Stockton and Mrs. L.G. Scheffel of Peters; also his fiancee, Miss Amalia V. Scheffel of Peters, whom he was to claim for his bride when he returned.
He leaves a host of friends, who grieve for the young soldier who sleeps far from his native land.
